Josh Clark

He's a journalist who just kind of – I was reading one of his Wired articles, and he was talking about how he became –

kind of obsessed with the idea of living without a phone.

And did so quite impressively for a very long time.

And he found out about the National Radio Quiet Zone and was, you know, naturally attracted to it and wanted to find out more about it.

So he started hanging out there and writing about it.

So a lot of the best information about what life is actually like in there and what...

how things are actually done come from some of his reporting.

And one of the things that he points out is that if you are caught using, say, like a cell phone within the two miles of the Green Bank Observatory, you are subject to a $50 a day fine for as long as you're using that phone.

And as far as Kersey can tell, absolutely no one in the history of the Green Bank Observatory has ever been fined.

Because, again, they're trying to do this all through cooperation rather than they're trying to use the carrot, not the stick, I guess.

Oh, good.

I can't wait to see it.

Yeah.

Like, yeah.

You just sit around and wait for Chuck Nedei to come find you and repair your... Well, he's the new guy.

Oh, sorry.

Yeah, that was Wesley Sizemore.

Chuck Nedei is the new guy.

You're right.

He's been going since 2011.
