Space, Relatively Speaking | Episode 5

Join us on a journey to some of the most inhospitable, humbling, and frighteningly beautiful places in the known universe.  Hostile Worlds is a podcast that lets you explore alien landscapes and extra-terrestrial terrain - all from the comfort of your headphones.  From the freezing hydrocarbon oceans of Titan, to the scorched, and suffocating wastes of Venus – we’ll take you on an educational and immersive audio tour to all the places you’d die to see… and places you’d die if you saw.   You’ll join the crew of The Tardigrade, an all-purpose vehicle that can float, fly, dive, and dig through any environment in the universe.   And you’ll learn all the facts you'll ever needed to present yourself as THE space exploration authority down your local pub on a Friday night.   Hostile Worlds is a unique documentary/audio drama hybrid – brought to you by the folks at ThePodcastHost.com
