About this episode
Chuck stumbles into one of his most unhinged stories yet, something about a Russian defector named Kitcha, some midnight phone calls, a secret energy weapon, and oh yeah… Greta Thunberg might be Putin’s biggest problem? It’s part spy thriller, part geopolitical fever dream, and 100% classic Chuck chaos. There’s technetium, there’s nuclear waste, there’s even a voicemail or two that’ll make you question everything you thought you knew about climate activists and global energy. Buckle up, this one’s wild.
Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.
