I mentioned this on the
Safe as Milk podcast but I've really enjoying a listen through on this Gimlet media podcast
The Habitat. The show follows six volunteers that are involved in a NASA funded project to see how humans will interact if they make it to Mars and are confined to a tiny living space. Basically, it's
The Real World: Red Planet. I'm about halfway through it and there's no drama quite as bad as "reality tv" but it's still a bizarrely captivating look at the seemingly mundane.
There's also a
full soundtrack to the show that features seven covers of Bowie's "Space Oddity." That may actually be a bit of overkill but the Haley Shaw original compositions are certainly worth a listen.
