Spaced Out with Lisa Caskey

Surprise! SpaceX launched a rocket over LA!

Lisa and Justin are back in this surprise bonus episode about SpaceX's rocket launcher over LA on December 22, 2017. Justin witnessed the launch first hand...and tells Lisa all about it. You want to hear this!

In this episode, Lisa and Justin chat about miles and miles of plastic waste floating in the Caribbean, Antartica's growing and shrinking ice sheet, and Oumuamua, the comet disguised as an asteroid. They also give California some major credit...the state's plastic bag waste in has been cut in half since 2010!!

In this episode, Lisa and Justin chat about Toygers, short-haired tabby cats bred to look like tigers. They also discuss electronic waste, Egyptian weapons made from meteorites, and UFOs in Nevada. (Lisa saw some gnarly unidentified drones, y'all.)

In this episode, Lisa and Justin chat about her recent move up to Seattle! (It was treacherous, y'all.) They also discuss deer humping female monkeys in Japan and recent attempts to resurrect the Tasmanian Tiger, a species that went extinct in 1936.

In this episode, Lisa and Justin chat about his recent trip to Belize and their favorite Christmas songs! They also discuss ambidextrous blue whales and plastic-digesting caterpillars. Also...to CRISPR or not to CRISPR? That is the modern-day moral question...

Nat Cassidy is back! In this episode, Lisa chats with Nat about his recent successes, including his recently published novelization of the sci-fi noir thriller, "Steal the Stars." (It's SO GOOD!) They also get into his newly published play, "Tenants Or, When the Hornet Arrives," a cutting-edge, horrific tale about love, lust, and psychopaths.

In this episode, Lisa and Justin chat about a pencil-shaped asteroid unlike anything ever seen in our solar system, gene drives, CRISPR's newest evolution, and plastic fibers that have been found in the deepest trenches of our oceans. We also talk about Instagram photos that have made their way into MoMa.

In this episode, Lisa and Justin chat about a fungus that turns ants into zombies, a basketball full of barnacles, and longevity escape velocity (whatever that is). We also tackle the extinction of the dinosaurs...again.

In this episode, Lisa and Justin chat about Daylight Savings Times (and how annoying it is), smelly suffer and it's role in the extinction of the dinosaurs, and voids in The Great Pyramids. It's a good one y'all!

In this bonus episode, Lisa reviews Steal the Stars, a podcast written by Mac Rogers and directed by Jordanna Williams. Starring Ashlie Atkinson as Dak and Neimah Djourabchi at Matt, the show also features Nat Cassidy as Lloyd (see episode 08 for more on Nat!).
