Houston, we have a podcast! Former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino joins the podcast this week for an episode that is truly out of this world. He opens up about the precious “pale blue dot” we all live on, the importance of keeping it safe, and how Earth’s future is tied to the stars. Mike also shares his thoughts on private space programs like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and the commercialization of space travel by billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson. And, for those adults who find their head in the stars, Klepper asks if it’s possible to still be a kid (at heart) who dreams of becoming an astronaut. Mike’s books, Spaceman: An Astronaut’s Unlikely Journey to Unlock the Secrets of the Universe AND Spaceman: The True Story of a Young Boy’s Journey to Becoming an Astronaut are both available now wherever you get books and go to <a href="http://mikemassimino.com/">MIKEMASSIMINO.com</a> for more.

Mike Massimino

They come from two different sides of the political spectrum: John Kasich, former Governor of Ohio and 2016 Republican presidential candidate; and Jordan Klepper, a liberal comedian best known for his viral videos interviewing MAGA supporters for The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

In this weekly talk show podcast, the pair will come together to scream their differing political opinions at each other for an hour… just kidding. Sure, there will be some political debate, but Kasich & Klepper’s discussions will more often explore the common ground of their shared interests. They’ll dive into conversations about parenting, leadership, pop culture, mental health, and more — all with a good sense of humor and a whole lot of jokes at each other’s expense.

Along the way, Kasich & Klepper will be joined by high-profile guests from all walks of life — musicians, athletes, activists, politicians, and much more — each of whom will share their unique perspectives on modern life’s biggest questions.

Together, Kasich & Klepper will have thoughtful, engaging, and downright hilarious conversations to demonstrate the power of mutual understanding in a polarized world.
