About this episode

The episode discusses colanders, experiences of an eclipse, the nature of space, and astronaut fitness.

How many colanders can you fit in a field? In, yet another, bonus episode Izzie Clarke,  @DrBecky  and producer Richard Hollingham share their experiences of the eclipse. Plus is space a stew? Pocket universes, and how fit do you have to be to be an astronaut?   For ad-free listening, join The Supermassive Club on Supporting Cast.
