David B. South, co-inventor of the Monolithic Dome and founder of the Monolithic Dome Institute, was recently interviewed on a radio show about Monolithic Domes. He has spent over 40 years around Monolithic Domes and touted their disaster resistant qualities in the interview.

The interview took place in August 2016 on the show called Western Life Radio on the Backcountry Radio Network in Utah. Billed as an outdoor radio program, its segments cover a wide range of topics such as hunting, fishing, camping, and boating. It is broadcast seven days a week.
