“Looking up changes you.”
In this episode of The Last Easy Mile, Josh sits down with Fraser Cain—founder of Universe Today and co-host of Astronomy Cast—to explore why space still matters in a world full of distraction.
Fraser shares how parents can spark curiosity in their kids, how to get started with astronomy (even from a light-polluted city), and what makes the James Webb Space Telescope and Vera Rubin Observatory so revolutionary.
They also dive into his lifelong love of tabletop RPGs, raising science-minded children, and how to stay grounded in a time when people are losing trust in experts.
Highlights:
Why binoculars are better than you think 🔭
How to plan your first meteor shower trip 🌠
Teaching kids to think critically (Carl Sagan’s “baloney detection toolkit”) 🧠
Why role-playing games beat video games at building imagination 🎲
