In 1977, Voyager 1 and 2 were sent on a journey through our solar system and beyond our home star. Aboard is The Golden Record, a compilation of sounds and images from Earth encoded on four metal disks illustrating the story of humanity. This week, Claire and Brendan discuss what’s included in The Golden Record, and how we would approach sharing our story with music through a 90-minute compilation.
