About this listen

Welcome to Season 1, Episode 6 of “Random Knowledge You Should Know”.

In today’s electrifying episode, we strike into the record books with the world’s longest lightning bolt ever recorded—a single bolt that stretched across three U.S. states and lit up the sky for over 400 miles. But how is something like this even measured? What causes such an extreme atmospheric event? And why is this record more recent than you might think? Join us as we explore the science, surprises, and sheer power behind nature’s most dramatic light show. You’ll never look at a thunderstorm the same way again.
