Episode 20 - From the Earth to the Heavens, Living in Awe
In this episode of The Lounge, Sarah sits down with the awe-inspiring Dr. Kirby Runyon, a planetary geologist and space enthusiast, to dive into the power of awe and how it shapes our lives. We discuss:

Geology is NOT boring: How to fall in love with the planet we live on and the magic of its landscapes.
