Out for a walk this morning, I saw a rainbow. I've never been able to see the purple band so clearly before.
Recently I found a podcast all about the Apollo Program called "13 Minutes to the Moon." It's published by the BBC World Service and originally began publishing episodes in 2019.
Season 1 focuses on the lead-up to the first landing on the moon with Apollo 11. Season 2 focuses on Apollo 13, which famously had a life-threatening disaster and dramatic recovery.
The podcast itself is high-quality, with tons of interviews and archival recordings so you're hearing the story from people who were there. It's well-edited and includes atmospheric score at good points. My only complaint is that they over-use the podcast's theme music.
