BBC's 13 minutes to the Moon...

 

Mindblowing how they managed to land on moon with the tech they had back then and how touch and go it was to success or failure!

Might appeal to some: A history of Rock Music in 500 songs.

The creator of the podcast is thorough to the point of being obsessive. Episodes stretch to several hours long and at the current rate he might be finished by the end of this decade.

Also, I'd second Cautionary Tales by Tim Harford, who's "50 inventions that shaped the modern economy" is also great.

might need to go do that one. I tried the McCartney "life in lyrics" but it dragged on too much for me.

If you're into local music and history of it, then this is excellent. I was only born in the 90s so to learn all about the music censorship through this medium was incredible. It disappeared from podcasting platform a while back, so I went looking for it now prompted by this thread. now I know what happened.

and it disappeared again in 2020, but they will stand the test of time.

Looks very interesting - will check it out.

Born in the 90s? Didn't you do a bike tour through canada in 2004?
