Hank LedgerA viewer on bbn.live writes, thanks for the BBN good news, with two exclamation marks. So we checked what we had tonight.
Skip WaverlyGreat, Hank!
Skip WaverlyGood News Network says the Open Championship was first played a hundred and sixty-six years ago today, at Prestwick in Scotland, and it's still the oldest golf tournament in the world.
Lola CruzThat's the good news. A golf birthday. I covered wars with better headlines.
Hank LedgerThere's a second item. ScienceAlert reports tiny specks of Chornobyl's nuclear fuel are still intact after forty years.
Skip WaverlyIntact! Forty years! That's a durability story, Hank, and I'd love to report it from the desk.
Hank LedgerThe teaser says it's both good and bad news, and then it asks you to subscribe.
Lola CruzSo the verdict is a cliffhanger.
Hank LedgerWe don't have the details beyond that, so that's all we can say.
Hank LedgerThe specks are still intact after forty years, which is the good news, and also the bad news. Ask us anything at bbn.live.
