astrology episode

Only midway through but loving this episode and felt compelled to give Moiya a hit of praise! And Corinne, too! I dip in and out of this podcast, but I’m always glad when I come back to it.

Love!

I like the content, very informative and unique. Moiya and corinne are great hosts, entertaining and charming. I also like the little twists like background sound and different settings

These two try to ruin astronomy with race and inclusion

You guys actually figured out how to make astronomy racist. First words ‘we used to do a podcast called sugar and cinnamon’ im not surprised everything is a race bait here. These types of people have ruined the university system like termites infesting a foundation. Run far from here.
