The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the most interesting energy and environmental policy issues of the day with top national experts. Jack interviews Josh Spodek this week who is one of the most interesting people that has graced the Power Hour studio over the past couple of years. Josh is a long-time environmentalist and conservationist (and so much more) who doesn’t just talk about a commitment to the environment but lives it with each decision he makes. Rather than plying guilt or coercion, Josh explains how his choices have made his quality of life better and how we can do the same. You definitely want to check this one out. You can learn more about Josh’s journey and philosophy from his book, Sustainability Simplified: The Definitive Guide to Understanding and Solving All (Yes, All) of our Environmental Problems, available here for pre order now. And to impress that special someone for Valentines Day, Jack’s book, Nuclear Revolution will get the job done! Join the conversation at thepowerhour@heritage.org!

The growing coalition of Americans concerned about our country’s health presents a unique opportunity to confront the misalignment between our medical, health, agricultural systems, and the American people. A critical examination of corporate influence, government regulatory agencies, and the pharmaceutical industry reveals systemic issues contributing to our country’s health crisis.
Join us for an in-depth discussion of these critical issues as experts explore the origin of these challenges, the failed role of our public health systems, and the need for a comprehensive bipartisan effort to restore the good life and help Americans live the healthy life again.

The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the most interesting energy and environmental policy issues of the day with top national experts. Join Jack and his guests today for an extremely interesting and informative conversation about a part of the nuclear industry that you might not know about: medical and industrial isotopes. The United States once led the world in the production of these critical elements but has fallen way behind in recent decades. Our guests today not only have kept the U.S. on the map with these life saving technologies but are working towards making the U.S. a leader once again. Matt Sanford is the executive director at the University of Missouri Research Reactor and Michael Hoehn is the program director for the NextGen MURR. In a nutshell, Matt oversees the production of life saving medical isotopes and other important industrial isotopes at the University of Missouri and Michael is in charge of getting a new reactor built to expand that capacity. This is important work on it own, but that the University of Missouri is one of an handful of labs in the U.S. doing this work makes their work critical. You will learn how these isotopes are produced, distributed and used in this podcast. Our promise to you is that you will be smarter after listening to this one. One more thing. Jack has a new book out called Nuclear Revolution, which you can get here here. If you want to be the smartest person at the dinner party and put those anti-nuclear people in their place, you want Nuclear Revolution . Join the conversation at thepowerhour@heritage.org!
