Wait But Why - How (and Why) SpaceX Will Colonize Mars

What it does

The audio version of Wait But Why's SpaceX post, read by Tim Urban. And a Tim-Andrew discussion about the post.

After months of talking about “doing something with audio,” we finally used the SpaceX post as an excuse to actually try something. A few days ago, I asked readers on Facebook what kind of audio they’d like to hear regarding the SpaceX post. There were two clear answers: 1) People who hadn’t read the post yet wanted an audiobook-esque verbatim audio version of the post. 2) People who had read the post preferred to hear a podcast-esque discussion about the post and about the topic. So we decided to try both. We’re not starting an official podcast yet—just using this as an opportunity to get a couple audio experiments under our belt and hear some feedback from…from waitbutwhy.com
