The first episode of the podcast featuring astrophysicist Katie Mack explaining the universe to John Green is up! It’s about the first two minutes of the universe. “We are not just made of stardust; we are also made of Big Bang stuff.”

I often wake up in the middle of the night, go into my anxiety, and can't get back to sleep. So, I listen to podcasts in one ear. I like the repetition of the same podcast and soothing voices; it puts me to sleep.

Over and over again I have listened to Tom Hanks talk about the Apollo missions on The Rest Is History or Jill Lepore talking to Ezra Klien. I began listening to this episode last night and can already tell it will be on repeat for nights to come.
