You skipped any audio edit on this one - lips/tounge, inhaling noises, it's hard to listen to this :/ At least give them some water

A superbly compiled and constructed podcast series. Every episode is totally gripping and whets the appetite for the next instalment. Kevin Fong has exactly the right credentials as the presenter and I sincerely hope that he does future series about the Apollo programme, particularly the incredible feat of bringing the Apollo 13 crew back to earth safely when it seemed more likely that they would be lost.
