Host Dave Schlom is joined by Producer Matt Fidler as Blue Dot returns to Lassen Volcanic National Park one year after the massive Dixie Fire. Along the way, they visit with Park Superintendent Jim Richardson, a visitor from Montana, and Ranger Amanda Sweeney as they see firsthand how the Park is bouncing back a year after the wildfire.
After leaving the park, Matt and Dave head to the Allen Telescope Array at the SETI Institute-operated Hat Creek Radio Observatory and get a tour of some of the cutting-edge technology from Science and Engineering Manager Alexander Pollak and assistant Sarah Schoultz.
