Matt's been running! 11/100 done already!
Jody thinks Matt's new shoes are just ugly enough to keep pace

Follow Up (Fake):

Tryers, please post an ALYT review in iTunes, we’ve had the same 2 reviews forever and one of them still looks like sock-puppetry or astro-turfing (not sure which applies) by Matt

Topic: Space!

Jody and Matt were planning to share personal favorites from the annals of spaceflight, and why they’re significant...but you know, time constraints
Why do humans do space travel? What is its true value to humanity (both practical and more ephemeral)?
One of Jody’s earliest childhood memories is barging into an adult Trivial Pursuit game with a correct answer to, “What was first animal launched into space?”
It was clearly a monkey, but the adults were unsure, possibly confused by the Cosmonaut Hero Dog Laika

That’s right, the dog is famous enough to be on postage!
Jody went to Space Camp / Rocket Camp at MOSI, memories are all-a-jumble

Space!...Media!

That movie "Space Camp"

Is that the guy from Revenge of the Nerds?
There was an HBO series Jody watched while in college...it’s probably From the Earth to the Moon
It was the right time for Jody to be exposed to that sort of engineering culture
The Commander Thinks Aloud by The Long Winters
Song Exploder episode
Bowie's in Space
