Billionaire and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is getting closer with every launch to providing internet to the world-- including remote communities-- by using a fleet of thousands of satellites. BUT he’s not alone, Amazon, Samsung and other private companies plan to follow his lead. And that means low-Earth orbit is about to get even more crowded. In the latest episode of Space Curious, we’ll look at what massive constellations of satellites will mean for our view of the night sky, the research of astronomers who study it and what companies like SpaceX are doing to help mitigate these issues.

Mismatch Presents: The Eyes of Texas

We've wrapped up our second season of Mismatch, but we've got a fun story to share with you from our friends at The Eyes of Texas podcast. “It’s totally exaggerated. It’s not me,” declared President George H.W. Bush during a segment for Saturday Night Live. “Those crazy hand gestures, the pointing thing. I don’t do 'em.” President Bush called Dana Carvey’s impersonation of him “bad” in that memorable SNL sketch. We’d reveal more here, but well, it wouldn’t be prudent. You’ll have to listen.

Jose Feliciano’s Anthem Encore

It was 1968. The assassinations of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy had already shaken Americans to the core. 300 American soldiers were being killed each week in Vietnam, and protesters were beaten near the Democratic National Convention. In that wrenching year, the nation needed a timeout. The 1968 World Series would provide that break. More than 53,000 fans jammed Tiger Stadium, hoping their team could rally after trailing the Cardinals three games to one. Before the first pitch of game five, they removed their hats and rose from their seats to hear the most memorable and controversial performance of the national anthem in the history of American sports.

The Amazonian expedition that nearly killed Teddy Roosevelt

He had soldiered on through all of it, a bullet in the chest, a chronic illness that left him gasping for air, a carriage accident that killed his bodyguard. He had survived a charging rhinoceros and his own charge up San Juan Hill. He had overcome the deaths of his wife and his mother on the same day. Theodore Roosevelt seemed invincible. But now, feverish and emaciated, he was ready for his life to end on The River of Doubt. mismatchpodcast.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A complete “Mismatch”

20/04/2019

The Dog Knows Everything

Different. Interesting. Entertaining. Varied. Historically correct as far as I’ve been able to investigate. Fantastic reporting. Passionate story-telling. Wonderful guests who are factual parts of the stories. Not your mother’s podcast, that’s for sure! I love Roger Weber’s voice; his tambour and phrasing are professional and easy, his voice makes me want to listen attentively. No other podcast out there has a better voice behind the microphone. If I were ever to meet him in person, I would beg him to record a long series of bedtime stories to help calm and soothe me after a crazy day of adulting in our fast-paced society. Thank you so much, Graham Media Group and WDIV-Detroit, for bringing us this wonderful podcast!!

There are few investments of time that give me as delightful a return as time spent with Mismatch. The stories are captivating, offbeat and unlike anything I've found in the pod sphere. Roger Weber's storytelling is concise and colorful.

Really love the interesting stories and topics this podcast presents. The narration keeps the listener engaged and as the episodes are short (>30 minutes), subscribing and listening to these on the way to work or whenever you have some spare time is easy.
Mismatch is great!
