episode 8: The World of Watermelon Snow
We're essentially hotboxing our planet, so let's take a fun little trip to a snowball world covered in ice! Let's just hope we don't get there during whaling season because have you ever smelled a beached whale? Neither have I, but I don't want to start now.
HOSTED by Moiya McTier (@GoAstroMo), astrophysicist and folklorist
