Just pure enjoyment each day - I originally heard the show while commuting to work each early morning.
It was on good old AM radio and was and still is very enjoyable yet brief each day!!
Started listen on KPBS at San Diego State. The stow was and still is the highlight of my listen day. Visiting the McDonald Observatory is on my bucket list.
