S1E2: The Ballad of Laika
"She was in orbit for 22 days... plenty of time to leave a ghost."
On this episode, we take a look at the soviet space program. Our host, a cosmonaut named Yuri (no, not that one), contemplates his 108 day mission in orbit as he prepares to come home. Yuri must keep a level head though as strange sounds coming from outside the capsule threaten the entire mission. Also featuring, a wonderful short piece by Maggie Lee about dogs, tennis balls, and the cosmic existential joke of life's purpose. Fun! With musical guests Cosmozoa and kohm! Featuring the voices of Cody Smith, Sarah Rose Nottingham, Alexandria Stevens, Jordan-Michael Whidbey, and Lisa Viertel.
