    Moon Farmin', Repeat

    From the archive, the science of farming in moon dust! I was just reading about the next crewed mission to the moon, and it would appear that they're planning to set up a mini greenhouse on the moon to see how plants do there. Pretty neat!

Awesome

I usually start my day with CNN, then on to local news, and end up with GNN to give me a positive start to the day. Now I listen to the podcast during my morning run.

Great way to start your day :)

I was an unwitting “investor” in this podcast, having bought the Cards Against Humanity package that launched it. I have subscribed since. Each episode is just a few minutes - short and upbeat, an uplifting alternative to all the politics and true crime podcasts. Topics can be a bit offbeat or just sweet stories, not necessarily lifted from the day’s headlines. Lots of puppies, kittens and cute kids though it’s not schmaltz either. More jokey and silly. I laugh and smile along with the hosts - the same since the start, Colleen and Neil. They pump out an episode every weekday - so it’s a great way to start your day!

Short sweet and a perfect add-on to your day
