Amanda Harrison attempted to recreate the first solo flight by a woman from England to Australia in 1930.

Unfortunately, she had to abandon her mission due to airspace restrictions in 2019, but she did have some adventures on the way. In this special podcast, Harrison talks to host Adam Thorn about her incredible flight – and what's next.

A recent study by RMIT has suggested that the isolated environment of the International Space Station, rather than just a lack of gravity, is behind reports from astronauts that food tastes blander in space. It's an important development because if we're going to send humans to Mars and beyond, we'll have to consider their diet and psychology. On this episode, Dr Julia Low, an RMIT senior lecturer, talks to host Adam Thorn about the study's results. The pair discuss how they replicated the ISS on Earth, how its findings can be used to tailor meals for astronauts, and where the research goes next.

Caveman Rob Alleva from History Channel's KINGS OF PAIN is a guy who has been bit by more animals than maybe anybody on Earth. If you can think of a venom, odds are he has has it bitten or stung into him in a not-so-pleasant manner. Rob and his co-host Adam Thorn took it upon themselves to update a pain index created decades ago in the most accurate way possible - by testing out each and every painful affliction themselves one by one. They traveled the world getting stung, bitten, poked by venomous barbs, and even letting a 16 foot Reticulated Python bite the crap out of them which ended up in heavy longterm damage to their arms. Rob also has been bitten by a Southern Pacific Rattlesnake and almost lost his life because of it. These stories are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to wild things he's done and this podcast is definitely a wild one to listen to. Check it out!!
