*Note: We are two white women discussing a topic that we can never fully understand. We are trying to learn and educate ourselves all the time on issues affecting other races, but we might not always get it right. Please reach out with a voice message here on Anchor, on our social media, or via email ([email protected]) if we've made a mistake, you think we could have said something better, or if you have anything to add to what we have said.

Word of the week: MOON

We have a special guest with us this week! Yashashree Jadhav, an astrophysicist, tells us her Korea story, explains a little of the work she does here in Seoul, and teaches us both a thing or two about black holes and the ever-expanding universe. As well as this, we take a whistle-stop tour of all the moon-and-Korea-related things you might ever want to know about!
