What a time for science! NASA's Perseverance rover has touched down, and Tom has finally managed to cobble together a franken-Switch! One of these is a massively expensive exercise in pushing the boundaries of what humans can achieve, and landing on Mars is also pretty neat!
This episode we're also tackling taking notes, reading new old comic books, and cheering on a rowing vet.
