Episode 8 - Hydrogen Storage feat. Gloria Wilson & Dana Wilson

In this episode, Hope talks hydrogen storage with her mom (Gloria) and her sister (Dana)! (Ana isn't in this one because it was the holidays and we weren't in the same state.) We've got space flight, we've got submarines, we've got van der Waals forces, and we've got lots of questions about whether hydrogen could be a useful fuel for everyday applications like cars. Brass quintet version of our theme song arranged by Hope's dad (Bill Wilson) and featuring Bill on the tuba, Gloria and Dana on French horn, Alex (Hope's brother) on trumpet, and Hope on trombone.
