Benjamin used to be super impressed with Kovi's profession, but when he learned that back in 1937 all you needed was some wood, piece of sheet metal, and a few parts from a broken down Model T... eh, now, not so much. Tune is as Kovi talks shop - we learn about the accidental invention of radio astronomy, how insanely big radio telescopes can be and how they work, and some incredible discoveries they've made along the way.
