This is a podcast about space, and seeks to provide listeners with quick explanations of the complex topics of the void. From the Space Race to Moon colonies to Black Holes, I try to make it simple but educational. This podcast uses a script written in bullet points, as I have found that improvisation brings out better content when directed.
