Space Camp Podcast

Hello Friends,

Today’s podcast digs into the manifesto of Ted Kaczynski, aka the Unabomber.  Considered a prodigy early on, many anticipated a bountiful future. He went on to attend Harvard at 16 years of age followed by becoming a mathematics professor. Few would suspect this brilliant and reserved man to be the subject of an FBI led, 125 agent task unit for investigating his defeating bombings. What led this promising individual to become one of the most infamous domestic terrorists? Join us for the discussion.

From Amazon Prime Video to Quibi, we look at the future of streaming in your home. Is it good to have HBO, Netflix, Hulu, and more available all the time?

We discuss his experience during the lockdown, other countries' efforts to slow down the spread, and, of course, a couple of conspiracies. 

We hope you enjoy!
