Nine Days in July is a new podcast documentary series that explores each of the nine days of the Apollo 11 Mission, day by day, in nine 60-minute-long episodes. While telling the story of the mission to the moon as it occurs, we also spin back, and spin out, into stories about Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins, NASA, the Space Race, and the history of the world-at-large during those 9 Days in July.

Customer Reviews
Humans are slobs!
What is it with the human race that insists on leaving “Junk” everywhere we go??! They just drop all the stuff they no longer needed on the moon’s surface!! Sorry, but space would be better off without the human race throwing all the junk out in it come to think of it, so would this planet…
Factual, emotional, inspirational
Growing up my mom was always into the space program. I had a casual interest so I decided to listen to this podcast and I’m really glad I did. The narrator really connects past and present. You feel so connected to the story of NASA and the astronauts. I wish more of history could be shared like this. Five stars.
Appropriately Dramatic
It’s easy to forget that landing on the moon, or even making it to the moon, was never a certainty. We take that for granted in the 21st century. I look forward to re-listening to the series every July.
