On this episode, host Andrew McDiarmid welcomes astrophysicist Guillermo Gonzalez back to the program to read and discuss his poem "Totality: A Celestial Theater," written to commemorate the total solar eclipse that occurred in April 2024.

Vladimir Putin is a war criminal of the worst order for his atrocities against Ukraine. He is responsible for human carnage, the deaths and terrible woundings of hundreds of thousands of people — from soldiers to civilians and even children killed in hospitals where they were receiving medical treatment.
