Astonishing journalism- the most surprising part being that making this was not fully funded, and it needed backers.

BBC and other platforms: why is the original 13 Minutes series not available? Substitution with its much less powerful namesake is incomprehensible to me. Bring back the narration by K... more
As always Kevin Fong creates a fascinating series, this time about another of his specialist subjects- the Space Shuttle. A great mix of commentary, interviews with the main stakeholders and original recordings. He asks interesting questions which you can tell the NASA staff respect.
Keep going Kevin & co!!
A low earth orbit programme is never going to grab me like Apollo. But you won’t find many better podcasts than this. Excellent.
I wonder what the story is behind the 3rd season of 13 minutes and the creation of 16 Sunsets as well as the mediocre substitute 13 minutes did with another host. They should make a podcast about that ha
16 Sunsets is a fantastic podcast - very well written, great narration by Kevin Fong and an amazing music score. Well worth a listen.
