Quick Warning: This episode contains descriptions of animal tests conducted during the early days of the US space program.  If you do not wish to hear the descriptions, as they are somewhat graphic, skip past those sections...roughly 5:30 after the disclaimer at the beginning.

In the inaugural episode of the podcast "Master of Miscellany" go into deep space where no one can hear you scream.  Could you survive if you accidentally got thrown out an airlock?  Or your helmet broke?  Dave Manoucheri, dubbed "Master of Miscellany" by colleagues digs into the tests, history or animal testing, and some sci-fi knowledge in the first episode of his podcast.
