  • Excellent

    I love this podcast. Discovered it in 2019 with all the Apollo 11 anniversary material and have been hooked ever since. It goes into depth and detail with interviews on subjects the mainstream broadcasters would never bother doing. Always interesting. Secondly, the production values are sky high with the presenters’ previous broadcast experience evident in spades. A must-listen, and great fun going through the back catalogue!
