Crash Course Pods: The Universe.

A podcast series I have thoroughly enjoyed is The Universe, hosted by John Green and Dr. Katie Mack. Over the course of 11 episodes they cover A LOT–exploring the very beginning of our universe, the formation of galaxies, stars, planets, dark matter, the origins of life, the possible existence of other forms of life in the universe, etc.

I enjoy all things astronomy and it was a really great, well-done series. There is a lot of personal meaning to glean from the episodes and the series as a whole and is definitely worth a listen.

The last 15 minutes of the last episode, aptly named How It All Ends, was especially great. As I’ve gotten older, I’m growing more appreciative of the moments and experiences in my life. I’m trying to experience more. Trying to be in the moment and appreciate all of my opportunities, more. Trying to bring joy and delight to others, more. Trying to help others, more. If you haven’t listened to the series and wondering what all of this has to do with a show about the universe, there’s a lot of meaning in our place in the universe.
