Volume 60: Glenn in Orbit

How fitting that this episode is number 60. Because something very important happened 60 years ago on the day this episode drops. While I might have just been a tiny bump in my mom’s belly at the time, the world had its eyes on the US Space Race. So, get ready for something literally out of this world in Volume 60: Glenn in Orbit.
