What would you do if you had two bony antennae sticking out of your head? Well, if you lived on this starless planet, you might use them to sense the world around you.

***There were some tech issues in the editing of the first 5 minutes (lol, this is what happens when you try to host, produce, and edit a podcast on your own), but it gets better after 5 minutes I PROMISE!***

HOSTED by Moiya McTier (@GoAstroMo), astrophysicist and folklorist
