Space, psychology and human dynamics - so many of my favorite topics in one pod. Beautifully narrated.

Had a great time binging this! Fun and thought provoking and well done! Lynn is hilarious and did a great job navigation this.

The presenter using the F Bomb, even during product placement, does not add to the show. I find that not worthy of this podcast. In episode 3 they used audio from the Manchester terror attack,not from Paris as they claim. Quite sloppy work.

Entertaining. Sparks some thoughts to the challenges that will be faced in the future with space travel.

Faux drama, annoying, voyeuristic presenter, fake news style editing and production, and not enough science. Negative five stars.

Description

On a remote mountain in Hawaii, there's a fake planet Mars. Six volunteers are secluded in an imitation Mars habitat where they will work as imitation astronauts for one very real year. The goal: to help NASA understand what life might be like on the red planet—and plan for the day when the dress rehearsals are over, and we blast off for real. Host Lynn Levy has been chronicling this experiment from the moment the crew set foot in their habitat, communicating with them through audio diaries that detail their discoveries, their frustrations, and their evolving and devolving relationships with each other. From those diaries, Gimlet Media has crafted an addictive serialized documentary: the true story of a fake planet.
