The first episode of Totality Talks!  We introduce ourselves and get acquainted with the podcast concept.  We also begin to guide listeners into the path and discuss the true awe of totality. We are working on our microphone issues and ask for your understanding and patience.   There are a few small content errors in this podcast... that's why we will be interviewing experts!  We will also be utilizing the “wrong” buzzer when warranted.  Clear skies! What creates a total solar eclipse?
