We don't really talk about current events here at the Unseen Podcast, but sometimes a current event inspires a discussion. We are ignoring all the (arguably justified) fuss about Brett Kavanaugh, and instead are going off on any tangents we can find related to the recent announcement about Dear Moon. Only in our age can we talk about billionaire Japanese artists going on a trip around the moon. It's a great time to be alive.
