“This is an ambitious and promising podcast. As a historian I appreciate the revisionism, and this WP team figuring out the “true” intentions through document evidence. The ambitious part is that they are looking into 3 decades prior to the 60s space race, and “sci-fi and scientists” changing peoples minds about space travel. The cliffhanger is good—bad unethical science, politics, it’s good.
The cons: I was a little disappointed that most of the first episode was exposition about the ‘cast and it didn’t talk about the sci-fi enough. The dream wasn’t contextualized. Perhaps the WP team is still figuring out pacing and when to display their evidence. Final critique: it’s been 10 days since the last episode. In podcast terms that is an eternity and they would probably do themselves a favor ...
To post every week. Again, this is promising and it’s a timely cast.”
