In this stellar episode of The Blunt Letters, hosts Elle Lectrick, Micaela Superstar, and Jerbil blast off into the world of sci-fi literature as they share their latest reads. From mind-bending narratives to speculative futures, they discuss the books fueling their days.

But that's not all — the crew dives into the fascinating (and slightly unsettling) situation of astronauts still stranded on the International Space Station. Plus, they unravel the mysterious origins of Earth's many moons — yes, moons!

This episode is extra special as the team celebrates five years of The Blunt Letters podcast and 15 years of The Blunt Letters as a creative force. Don’t miss this mix of science, speculation, and celebration!

Featuring the original song "2 Moons are Better Than 1" by Micaela Superstar
