“Lillian Cunningham has done it again. First, she explored every president in “Presidential” (2016), then followed that up with “Constitutional” (2017), an examination of different aspects of the Constitution, its origins and its lasting effects. With “Moonrise” (2019), timed to start during the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing, Cunningham goes beyond the traditional narrative of JFK’s famous challenge to get to the moon within the 1960s and goes back to the seeds being planted in the popular science fiction of the 1930s and 1940s. The parallels between these science fiction stories and the scientific developments of the day are closer than I was previously aware of, even intersecting. Fascinating! If you haven’t listened to this now, I highly recommend it. I am only a couple of episodes in as I write this review, and I am hooked.”
