Oops it was from July 2019, but I heard it in 2020... 13 Minutes to the Moon. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w13xttx2 A magnificent BBC podcast series that covers in extreme detail the Apollo 11 mission, including explanations of the busy chatter that you hear from mission control audio.

Agreed.

Made even more magnificent by the amazing theme written by Hans Zimmer:

I found the Planet Money episode Big Rigged surprisingly moving. It covered the business model of American trucking company Prime through the story of Kimberly. It was the all too familiar story of employee rights being eroded through a shady business model. Prime were exploiting workers by encouraging them to operate as independent contractors with an exclusive contract whilst also loaning them their truck, setting…

Reply All - #158 The Case of the Missing Hit

As a bonus, the episode of 99% Percent Invisible which followed it[1] has an excellent callback. [1]: This one, I think: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/roman-mars-describes-...

I heard this episode first. I was confused by the fact that Roman knew all the words to this song that I had never heard of.

I listened to the Reply-All episode some weeks later and had that deja vu of "I know this song -- but from where??".

Took me a bit to connect them!

I'm listening now and enjoying it. Very relatable as I have an 80s horror movie I saw one scene of when I was a kid and I still have not been able to find it. Haunts me to this day. A family is outside all afraid and some force is tugging a chain into the sky.

I had a scene that haunted me as a kid and I thought there was no way I'd ever find it (literally had little more than the fading scenes from the dreams).

And this year I found it. I'd always remembered it wasn't a cartoon or live action - but something in between. So it turns out it was the scenes of 'death' from Jim Henson's "The Storyteller". Just something about the creepy face that did it as a kid. Was definitely a strange sensation to connect it all and see the images anew. Humans/memories/brains are weird. (The Storyteller, Season 1, Ep 5 - it's on Amazon Prime in Canada)
