Tom welcomes returning guest Justin Huhn to the program to talk about everything uranium related. Justin discusses the very long base that has been built for uranium and why recent moves in uranium equities are a good sign. There has been a supply shortfall for a couple of years since MacArthur River was shut down, and this year Covid has exacerbated that situation. The bulk of secondary supply comes from underfeeding in the enrichment process when there is excess capacity. This supply will slowly diminish once primary demand increases. This rally is different since it's based on sentiment instead of seasonal factors or just mine closures. Institutional money is now catching wind of the sector. Justin discusses how a recent report has garnered the attention of both these institutions and investors. He discusses why the Cigar Lake Mine shut down and how much longer he expects this to continue. There are around 175 million pounds of uranium consumed globally and typically 150 million pounds of supply. This shortfall in recent years has been made up for by secondary supply. Utilities have yet to buy much, but eventually, they will enter into long-term contracts. Justin outlines the numbers of reactors that are being built and when they should come online. He says, "Nuclear is expected to be an ongoing growth industry." He discusses the different ways to invest in uranium and what he looks for within the uranium space. The URNM ETF may be a good way for investors to gain exposure to the sector. He expects 2021 to be an excellent year for uranium.

Tom welcomes a new guest Charles Goyette to the show. Charles is an author and well known radio personality. Charles outlines what may make this the last gold rush. There is something different about this bull market, and that is what he has written about in his latest book. Bull markets are generally driven by money printing, but today this is unprecedented and global. He discusses much of the history of gold ownership in the United States and why today's dollar is fragile. The U.S. Government has massively overspent that much of the world is pushing back. The U.S. grows weaker because the might of the U.S. comes from it's economic strength, which is in decline. He explains the Federal Reserve System's beginnings and why it's name was an ingenious marketing ploy. They didn't dare call it a central bank, but it instead encouraged the notion of central reserves to provide stability and liquidity. Last March, the Fed announced that the reserve requirements of banks were being abolished. The rapid move toward a global digital currency standard is being driven by the need to eliminate cash. Since governments and central banks know they are moving into a period of negative interest rates, they want to charge the consumer while also monitoring and controlling their spending habits. Charles discusses some of the more crazy aspects of Modern Monetary Theory and their belief they can print money without consequence. Before Covid, introducing MMT would have been very difficult, but now, this is no longer an issue with massive fiscal spending. The government is always trying to inflate, and their motivations are many. The market senses these bubbles and tries to deflate them to some norm. Thus the popping of the bubbles is deflation, and the pumping up is inflation. The impact of all the business closings this year and job losses have yet to be fully felt as they rebound throughout the economy. He says, "They will print money until the economy collapses… We're in an end-game event for the dollar."

Tom welcomes a returning guest to the show Steve Thomas. Steve is the author of the Gold Mining Bull Portfolio on Seeking Alpha. Steve discusses the slow decline in gold and how sentiment had reached a new low when Bitcoin tested its all-time high. These times are buying opportunities. Gold tends to bounce off its 200-day moving average as it did back in March. Steve likes to watch the MACD and the CCI (Commodity Chanel Indicator), which currently show that momentum is coming back in gold's favor. More likely than not, we have seen the bottom. Steve points out that in December, there is often tax-loss selling for equities. Seasonally it's not great for gold, but that makes it an excellent time to buy gold stocks. Even after all the negativity, gold remains up twenty percent this year. It's doing that despite very low jewelry demand and while central bank purchases of gold have declined. Next year both of these factors should improve. He discusses the size requirements for companies to be listed in the GDX and GDXJ. GDXJ does not have any junior mining companies with a sub-500 million market cap. Therefore, if you're careful, you can easily outperform these basic indexes if you are selective on the stocks you choose. He likes to track insider activity and ownership of companies. You want to see management to have skin in the game. Insiders are typically good timers of the markets, and he gives some tips for when to exit a position. Steve lists some specific companies that he believes are good opportunities. This year would probably have been better for M&A, but due to Covid, a lot of plans have been delayed. He expects gold to continue to go up by 10% per year on average as it has done since 2000. That would take us over 3000 an ounce within five years.

Tom welcomes a new guest to the show, Jon Case of CI Global Asset Management. Jon is the lead manager of the Sentry Canadian Resource Class and Precious Metals Fund. Jon discusses the massive money printing and stimulus that has, in many cases, increased household income. Further stimulus will likely be required to help heal the economy. He expects the pace of the recovery to be relatively slow. With every central banking printing, we are going to continue to see asset prices inflate. Eventually, all that debt will result in a day of reckoning but exactly when that occurs is uncertain. He discusses the Fed's problem of encouraging inflation and why they have been unable to overcome the collapse in money velocity. He sees the role of government, central banks, and policymakers beginning to blur. Expect further direct government intervention to the consumer. The result of all this will be an environment very friendly to gold. The US Debt to GDP levels has risen this year to uncharted territory. We weren't expecting these levels for another four or five years. Jon says, "The lenders are the ones that are losing the most in this environment. The biggest suckers today at the table are those that are lending to government at thirty-year rates." The biggest risk to the dollar and fiat currencies today might be digital currencies. Central banks are worried about being left behind by innovation. Money creation outside the halls of power is terrifying to governments and central banks. He discusses why the creation of a new digital currency seems likely. Jon outlines what to look for in good mining equities. Some institutions are protecting themselves by having mining equities in their portfolios instead of just gold.

Tom welcomes back Frank Holmes, CEO and Chief Investment Officer of U.S. Global Investors. Frank discusses why the election results and a split house may be the perfect scenario for the stock market and the ideal scenario for gold. G20 Central bankers have been functioning as a cartel since 2008 by synchronizing taxation and regulation. Now they are playing with MMT, zero interest rates, and monetary stimulus. However, they have redefined the CPI, and today if you use the old model, inflation is running at close to eight percent. Smart people are buying real assets like art, gold, silver, mining equities, and bitcoin. Frank discusses the PMI index and how it reflects forward industrial demand. He expects a robust economy over the next six months. The government is spending trillions, and when that happens, gold rises dramatically. Gold could quickly go to $4000 due to the amount of debt creation. Frank points out that gold has been positive 17 years out of the last 21 and has outperformed the S&P 500 by 2.5 times. This lockdown has brought many Millenials to invest in the more speculative side of the stock market. Many are investing in ETF's and junior stocks. Gold stocks are showing up along with other common stocks due to their free-cash-flow. Institutions and big investors are starting to take notice. Frank discusses the crypto markets and how Hive Blockchain is performing very well as a stock market proxy for Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Tom welcomes Brett Heath, President, and CEO of Metalla Royalty & Streaming, back to the show. Brett discusses what led him to enter the metals and mining industry and what attracted him to the streaming and royalty business. He says, "When you pull several royalties together, it can provide an enormous about of optionality in a rising price environment." Metalla's business model is in buying existing royalties, and there are times when it's easier for companies to give up some of their production in exchange for equity. Brett discusses some of the tier one royalties they have acquired this year. We went through a time when investors struggled with the major producers because they were creating massive capital destruction. This is why most generalist investors have moved to the royalty and streaming sector to offset these risks. The royalty sector has grown significantly and is now an excellent way for investors to get exposure to the metals. Most silver mine production comes as a byproduct of other metals, and few produce mostly silver. Metalla has acquired two silver streams that are based strictly on silver. He believes we are just now entering the second phase of this bull market in metals. Gold and silver are still hated, but we see equity returning to the majors and even down to the juniors. The second phase is when big institutions and the public begin to get involved and is usually a longer and stronger period for the market. The third phase and final phase is usually marked by irrational exuberance. Time Stamp References:0:00 - Introduction0:32 - Brett's Background2:00 - Royalty Business Model5:40 - Royalties Vs.

Tom welcomes returning guest John Hathaway. Mr. Hathaway is a Portfolio Manager of Sprott Hathaway Special Situations Strategy and Co-Portfolio Manager of the Sprott Gold Equity Fund. John discusses traditional portfolio weightings and why they no longer work. Bonds today are return-free risk, which opens the door for gold since something has to replace bonds. Some large pension fund advisors are considering gold as a risk mitigator. He discusses the supply of debt and why interest rates have to remain at these levels. Debt to G.D.P. could easily reach 160% in the coming year or two. Deficit spending is keeping the consumer alive, but there will be a lot more money spent. A vaccine could create some optimism for the economy, but that's probably not enough to offset the spending. Many experts are calling for a 30% decline in the dollar from here. The dollar will weaken, and gold will find its way into institutional portfolios. Today, there is about 100 trillion in wealth under management, and if one trillion of that moves into gold, that will represent six years of mine supply. John explains how relatively small gold price moves can have an outsized impact on gold producers' profit margins. These stocks remain quite undervalued when considering their free-cash-flow yield. Gold remains hated and is still on the fringe, but that makes it an excellent opportunity since the fundamentals have only been improving for gold.

Tom welcomes back E.B. Tucker to Palisade Radio. Mr. Tucker is a founder and director of Metalla Royalty & Streaming and the author of "Why Gold? Why Now?: The War Against Your Wealth and How to Win It". E.B. discusses his new book and what led him to write it in just 23 days. The reasons for buying gold in the book include coming Negative Interest Rates, MMT, and the looming Fedcoin. The book outlines advice for purchasing gold and learning where to start in this space. He argues that the U.S. is no longer a free market economy. We're in an environment where everything is distorted and manipulated. Short term trading in this environment doesn't work because of the massive news events and changes occurring. Focus on the long-term because you can't time this market. How is it possible that the U.S. can spend in merely three years the equivalent in value of all the gold ever mined? When gold takes off, it's going to go very fast, and it's not coming back to pick you up. You can play where the world appears to be inevitably heading. E.B. gives some advice for dealing or rather not dealing with politics. He says, "Get serious about your money and figure out what is coming next." When people realize they are losing money to inflation, they will panic and look for something tangible to place their wealth. Lastly, he discusses what an optimal portfolio might look like and why you don't want to overweight your speculative positions.

Gary discusses how people are waiting for more stimulus, but the next program will likely not arrive until February. The economy continues to contract, and while some businesses are doing very well, others are being hit quite hard. The Fed has stated that interest rates will remain unchanged as they still have some options in their toolbox. Expect gold and equities to continue to do well in this environment. We've had the most massive budget deficit on record at three trillion to fund this crisis. There is still a lot of work to be done, and he expects that 2021 will have a similar or perhaps even larger deficit than 2020. The government will likely continue bailing out specific sectors through next year. Typically Democrats spend more than Republicans, and there is much uncertainty surrounding Trump. What America needs no matter who wins is a peaceful transition of power. From now on, there could be a lot more protests. Gary discusses how fast technology is moving quickly and why that makes him cheerful and optimistic about the future. Gary believes cryptocurrencies will find a place in the fabric of society. Crypto allows third world countries and developing countries to transfer value with relative ease. He likes silver as it will outperform gold during moves but will also correct harder to the downside. There is a finite amount of both metals, and there will always be intrinsic value with these assets. He discusses what being a hybrid technical trader means for him and how he was mentored by two great technical traders Larry Williams and Don Bollinger. He says, "Making money isn't that difficult. Keeping it is the hard part." Finding the tops is the hard part of the markets, and he discusses some of the alternative trading techniques he uses.

Tom welcomes a new guest to the show, Jeff Booth. Jeff is an author and technology entrepreneur. Jeff discusses the central thesis of his book "The Price Of Tomorrow." He explains how technology is moving faster than most people realize and why it's incompatible with modern central banking. Tech will result in massive changes in how we think and operate economies. When deflation happens in a debt-based society, that debt becomes more expensive and can't be repaid. No matter what action governments decide, the consequences are coming and playing out around the world. If banks don't lend, then governments will bypass the banks. In the next phase, central banks and governments become competitors. Structural deficits today are so staggering that the debt can't be repaid. The Fed has transferred risk from companies to their balance sheet. They are stuck in a debt trap, and they either have to have a deflationary depression or inflate away the debt. Today if real estate falls, the entire system will become impaired, so they continue to prop it up. The rich have most of the assets that benefit from these policies. Higher prices result in political instability as populations become more demanding. What looks like a bright spot in the economy in recent months is now over. He discusses gold and bitcoin and their benefits in preserving wealth. Jeff points out that Bitcoin is evolving very quickly. Big changes are coming to the West, and it will be painful over the next ten years because the credit system must unwind. Hyperinflation will be hard to stop when and if it begins. Regardless, there will continue to be wild swings around the world.

Tom welcomes back Lobo Tiggre founder and CEO of Louis James LLC. He is the principal analyst and editor of the IndependentSpeculator.com. Lobo points out that there are a lot of experts that target investors and one should be wary of their motives. He says, "Today, everything looks good for gold as as all the politicans will spend more money." Trump has stated that he will not shut the economy down again but politics today carries additional near term risk. In the event of a Democrat victory there would be some negative implications for US mining stocks. Right now even a steady flat price level for gold would be good for most mining companies. Today the economy is on life support stimulus that can't be stopped. However, it's possible that no amount of money printing will save the economy. We are in uncharted waters and no one knows what will happen as a result. The belief today seems to be that printing doesn't cause inflation. The more overconfident central banks become the greater the risk becomes of something breaking. Lobo discusses various opportunities in mining and how there are crucial moments in a mining companies development life where these stocks can outperform.

Tom welcomes returning guest Michael Gayed, Portfolio Manager at Toroso Asset Management, to the show. Michael is the author and publisher of the Lead-Lag Report. Michael discusses the differences between volatility and risk. Risk comes when you might have a permanent loss of capital, while volatility can usually be overcome with patience. It's essential to identify the weather that is coming in markets. Conditions are always changing, and you need to be aware of the trends. Michael feels we are heading toward a storm. The Fed has broken the bond market when they choose to buy up assets. Stocks and bonds may no longer be sufficient to diversify your portfolio. Fed policies have enabled prolific spending and an ever-increasing wealth gap. The argument today is that debt doesn't matter, but that will have unintended consequences. Today, there is a large degree of complacency surrounding the risks. European financials are looking horrendous. Lumber may be a warning sign of a weakening economy. The Fed has stated they will do whatever it takes to keep the equity markets propped up. Faith in the Fed will burst at some point, but that bubble will likely last for a while longer. More money is flowing into hedging assets like gold. Further weakness in commodities like oil, lumber, and energy could sign a coming storm for the global economy. He says, "Risk is always where you don't see it."

Tom welcomes returning guest Tavi Costa of Crescat Capital to the show. Tavi outlines Crescat's macro model and how it drives their investing focus. Tavi discusses how the only way out of the global debt burden is through further debasement and a continued race to the bottom for currencies. Equity yields are down in real terms, and this will drive demand for safe monetary assets like gold and silver. Precious metals could do well in either an inflationary or deflationary environment. Debt monetization is happening everywhere but increasingly in places like Canada and Australia. The real estate market in Australia is beginning to impair their overall macro position. Similar problems are occurring in Canada and within the Canadian banking system since their deficits are ballooning. Globally debt is piling up at an unprecedented pace. The suppression of interest rates means central banks have to expand the monetary base to maintain growth. Currently, just the tech sector equities are nearing 40% of GDP. Markets today have numerous excesses, but most investors share a general lack of comprehension of the risks. Large miners have had few discoveries due to a lack of capital allocation in exploration. This is resulting in a constrained supply and an opportunity for those miners that are exploring. This lack of supply, along with all the various macro drivers, will send gold much higher. Tavi compares the monetary dilution of the past few decades with both gold and silver. This looks very good for gold and amazing for silver. He expects silver to head towards $50 fairly soon. Investors should consider selling popular equities and buying miners with free-cash-flow. The idea that central banks can control a decline in the business cycle is absurd.

Could you live in a van/truck for 4 years of your life? Chrissie Junge is a soon to be author as well as the Brisbane Girl In A Van. Chrissie packed in traditional housing in favour of a bare metal delivery truck, and lived around Brisbane’s greenery in its rough truck bed while slowly teaching herself to build it into a comfortable tiny house.In this conversation Juan and Kyrin asked Chrissie all of their accumulated questions of living out of a van and becoming a children's author. These included: that first night experience in the new style of living, practical matters of storage and liveability, challenges and highlights of living in her truck, how to write a children's book and spreading her message of the value of family/home.

Tom welcomes back experienced investment professional David Hunter of Contrarian Macro Advisors. David discusses the origins of the current secular bull market and how we are now nearing the end stage. In the final stage of bull markets, they can go parabolic. He expects a deflationary bust and involuntary debt liquidation cycle to begin in the first half of 2021. The economy needs a stimulus package despite the soon to be released GDP numbers that will likely show an unprecedented annualized increase of 30-35%. Congress doesn't share the same level of urgency as many Americans who no longer have jobs. Parts of the economy, like housing and technology, are doing well, but other sectors like the hospitality industry, have been hit hard. The damage to many small businesses has been massive and unprecedented. David uses the term "bust" to differentiate from a depression. What is coming will be more dramatic than 2008-2009 but won't be drawn out like a depression. U.S. banks are relatively more healthy than European banks. The coming deflationary downturn will be widespread and catch most people by surprise. Prices will be hit across the board, but the declines won't be long-lasting due to the amount of injected liquidity. He expects the Fed's balance shee t to balloon above twenty trillion by the end of next year. The government's initial reaction will likely be too slow, and it will take a couple of years to get back to positive inflation. Inflation will begin to take off around 2025 to 2026 when the economy overheats due to the excess money creation. We will then enter a period worse than the 1970s as double-digit inflation kicks in, which will take most people by surprise. He discusses the outlook for the housing markets and mortgage rates over the next couple of years, along with some targets for oil, gold, silver, GDX, GDXJ, SIL, and SILJ. For the remainder of the year, the dollar will remain under pressure, but next year there will likely be a flight to safety, which will bid the dollar higher, possibly much higher.

Tom welcomes a new guest to the show Ted Butler to discuss everything silver market-related. Ted has been following these markets for thirty years and closely watched the Comex during that time. In April of 2011, when silver hit $50, there was an increase in physical movement through the Comex system. This increase also occurred when JP Morgan started storing silver. Over the past nine years, some 2.5 billion ounces have moved through the Comex system. The question is, why is there such high flows only in silver and not other metals. He believes this is due to silvers uses as an industrial commodity, with this demand consuming most of the newly mined supply. When we get additional investment demand, we will likely blow the roof off the price as silver is the only commodity with this dual demand profile. Price controls on silver have kept it suppressed, but all that's required to avoid a shortage is to allow the price to rise through standard supply and demand. Today, it's hard to find a genuine bear in the silver market because it's so cheap relative to everything. Ted believes that a significant reason for Bear Stearn's collapse was their silver short position in 2007. JP Morgan no longer holds a short position having mostly exited the paper silver markets since they acquired a massive stockpile of metals. They are currently neutral on the market. This is a good sign that the game is changing, and the other banks that are short today may be unable to exit without considerable losses.

Tom welcomes a new guest to the show Egon von Greyerz. Egon is Founder and Managing Partner of Matterhorn Asset Management AG based in Switzerland. Egon discusses how today's events aren't new; we are in a pattern that repeats throughout history. Governments love to spend more than they receive in revenue, and no currency has ever survived. Deficits have been nearly non-stop since 1930, and often an unrelated trigger can cause the crisis. Central banks are creating worthless money out of thin air only because people believe it has value. Today, we are in the euphoric final phase of the monetary system as asset bubbles get inflated. Market risks today are far worse than they were in 1929 because this time, they are global. Central bankers will do whatever is necessary to support the system, but it's a losing game. It remains possible that stock markets double from here, but it's also likely that gold and the Dow will meet at some point. Egon is concerned that we will enter a dark period of decline and that only once we are through it will the historians label it. Debt can't be fixed with more debt; however, central banks and governments don't seem to understand this fact. Hyperinflation always arises due to currency debasement and collapse, and eventually, interest rates must rise. Gold today is at the same cheap levels of 1971 and 2000 compared to the total US money supply. He cautions, "Don't measure your net worth against something that has no intrinsic value." Note golds price in 1970, 2000 and today. We've reached the point where decline is inevitable for the west. Lastly, he discusses their ultra-secure private gold vault in Switzerland that is the largest in the World.

Guest Links:Website: https://www.goldswitzerland.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/GoldSwitzerlandGold Vault Video: https://goldswitzerland.com/inside-the-mountain-interview/ Egon von Greyerz is Founder & Managing Partner of Matterhorn Asset Management AG. He started Matterhorn Asset Management (MAM) in 1999 as a private investment company. From the very beginning, wealth preservation was an essential cornerstone of the company. In early 2002, they believed that financial and economic risk in the World was getting uncomfortably high. So that year, they made substantial investments in the physical gold market at $300 on average. As gold started to rise in the early 2000s, demand for physical gold increased, and in 2005 they set up a regulated company in Zurich - Matterhorn Asset Management AG. A couple of years later, they formed GoldSwitzerland, which is the precious metals division of MAM. Egon was Born with both Swiss and Swedish citizenship. His education was mainly in Sweden. He started his working life in Geneva as a banker and after he spent 17 years as Finance Director and Executive Vice-Chairman of Dixons Group Plc. Since the 1990s, Egon has been actively involved with financial investment activities, including mergers and acquisitions and asset allocation consultancy for private family funds. This led to the creation of MAM, an asset management company based on wealth preservation principles. MAM is now the World's leading company for physical gold and silver outside the banking system, directly owned by the investor. Their four vaults include the most immense and safest gold ...

This week, we’re bringing you a double episode exploring the impact of COVID-19 on the sake industry here in Japan, and how that impact is beginning to reverberate through the international market.The entire nation of Japan, while never undergoing a formal lockdown, was officially placed on State of Emergency status as of April 7th, a state which continued until May 31st, with the country gradually easing restrictions in phases over the several weeks that followed, leading to a complete reopening on June 19th.During this period, restaurants and izakaya were requested to limit their hours of operation from 5am to 8pm, while closing all alcohol service by 7pm. This, combined with the request for the entire population to refrain from unnecessary travel, as well as shift to teleworking in all instances possible, transformed how people shopped, dined, and of course, accessed and consumed sake and shochu. As you might have guessed, for many breweries, wholesalers, retailers and restaurants, sake and shochu stocks became largely idle for months on end.While sales numbers have been gradually recovering since June, the number of people testing positive for COVID 19 have also been on the rise as of late, with Japan now experiencing what at this stage might be considered a “mild second wave.” As a result, dining establishments have again been asked to curtail their hours of operation for the month of August, closing by 10pm, with particularly dense dining and entertainment districts in parts of Osaka being asked to cut back their hours of operation even further.These front-line sales tend to get a lot of attention, however it’s the beverage’s deep agriculture ties, along with the particular timing of the pandemic which might result in a truly devastating fallout down the road. We discuss this as well.To be honest, there’s still a lot that we don’t know. The impact from the past 6 months isn’t truly going to manifest itself for some time to come, and how the pandemic will develop both in Japan and internationally is, at this point, still anybody’s guess.However, we do feel a responsibility to sake lovers around the world to share what it is we do know, which is why over the past couple of months we’ve been conducting a series of short interviews, as well as discussing this reality amongst ourselves, in order to help paint at least somewhat of a picture as to where we stand as of the end of August 2020. For Part 1, we’ve edited together a series of excerpts from five different interviews that we conducted with individuals here in Japan who are in a position to offer particular insight into the impact COVID-19 on certain pockets or channels of the sake and shochu industries. Our guest include:・Yoshiro Okamoto – Vice President of the Japan Sake & Shochu Makers Association・Koichi Saura – President of Saura Co. Ltd. (makers of Urakasumi) and co-chairman of the Japan Sake & Shochu Makers Association・Takahiro Ibaragi – Head of the International Sales Division at Nihon Shurui Hanbai・Sam Mitsuya – Owner of Mitsuya Liquors・Shonnosuke Hiramatsu – Retail Sales Office at Imadeya When you’re done with this episode, Part 2 is already live, so you can jump over and continue this exploration whenever you’re ready. For Part 2 we bring your regular hosts Christopher Pellegrini, John Gauntner, Sebastien Lemoine, and Justin Potts together to anecdotally discuss the experience of the past six months. We hope you’ll find it to be an interesting supplement to the first-hand perspective provided in this episode.Between this and Part 2, we’ve left you with a lot to digest over the next couple of weeks. There’s still a long road ahead, but we’ll be in it for the long haul. We hope you’ll stick with us. If you’re looking for a great way to support, there’s always one:Keep kampai-ing.

Why should you care about how you breathe and what is the difference between nasal and mouth breathing? In this themed episode Juan and Kyrin discuss the topic of 'Breathing'. The crew start off with some fun facts, like that continuous breathing through your mouth can actually change the shape of your face. This tends to be a deleterious change and there are in fact numerous benefits to gaining your oxygen nasally versus through the mouth.The MM crew then get onto techniques (Wim Hof method/Valsalva) as well as their own personal experiences of altering their breath while swimming, exercising and practising breath holds. The body has some amazing adaptations that allow longer hold times (such as the dive reflex) and it is actually possible to breathe through an oxygen-rich liquid called Perflurocarbons. The conversation is ended with some pragmatic outcomes and some fantastic news on the podcast front.
