After last week’s astronomically authoritative guest Dr Alan Duffy, this week David and Sue dare to ask, Did Neil Armstrong really land on the moon? They consider all things lunar and stellar, including NASA’s inventions that are useful to all of us whose feet are firmly stuck (with velcro?) on the ground.

This week’s interviews vary from tugging at the heartstrings to laugh-out-loud moments.
Two phone-in interviews …
– Courtney Act talking about her one night show Head to Mistletoe in Melbourne next Friday, and the Mardi Gras launch
– Christine from Make a Difference about a cause dear to Sue’s heart, fundraising to train a companion dog for Alex

And in the studio are …
– Architect Peter Maddison, host of Grand Designs Australia, talking about the making of the show (now up to the sixth series).
– Colette Mann and Damien Richardson (not into social media, is Damien!) talking about their careers and their up-coming (11-29 Nov) production Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune (there’s that lunar connection!)

In the final hour, amidst music continuing the astronomical theme, Geoffrey enthuses about Reckoning, the newly-released memoir by Magda Szubanski.
