YES!  So, did you see it? Sounds like lucky holes were found …almost everywhere!  Apologies for the delay.... eclipse elation and subsequent eclipse blues are real. We’ve been truckin along to April 8  and hope YOU got to see the total eclipse of the Sun! In this episode, we chat with 2 eclipse virgins no more: producers of the first total solar eclipse musical (based on David Baron’s book American Eclipse), Janet Brenner and Laura Ivey. They observed their first total solar eclipse and share their experiences with us.  Leticia and I also share a little bit about our eclipse day 2024. 

Also in this episode, we share some love from inside the shadow of the Moon.  We'll spend part of our session with veteran eclipse chaser, Letica’s husband, Daniel Brookshier.  Daniel tells us a bit about their encounter inside the umbra of the April 08, 2024 eclipse, marking HIS eighth rendezvous with totality. We nerd out about image and video capturing as we exchange notes on totality 2024.
