Dale makes the jump to lightspeed and fastens his Kuiper Belt for a conversation on myth, stars, and the origins of universe with his guest folklorist and astrophysicist, Dr. Moiya McTier. Dale is unafraid to ask the accomplished Moiya some pretty basic questions like what do stars look like up close and could he survive on a planet made of diamonds. Moiya draws on her experience hosting the fascinating podcast EXOLORE, to help Dale imagine how cultures are formed on distant yet-to-be -discovered planets and what our chances might be for Earth 2 or 3. Plus Dale gets stranded in a high place thanks to something he ate and lots more in this galaxy-spanning episode that is sure to reward the curious among us.
