Episode 50 - Moon

It wasn’t the original plan, but Ben convinced the infamous Aunt Norah to co-host with him this week!  One could say it was “in the stars” so to speak.  In the Venn diagram of the universe stars are celestial bodies and our word is a celestial body, but our word is not a star.  Ben and Norah delve in to all of the things they can think of that relate to the word moon: common sayings, urban legends, movies, music, comic books, NASA, and video games.
