BBC Podcast: 13 Minutes to the Moon

The goal of 13 Minutes to the Moon is to get its listeners to where they understand everything that's happened to make the descent possible and everything that needs to be done to make sure it happened. With all the pieces in place, the series will end with a rebroadcast of 13 minutes of the main communication loop between Houston and the Lunar Module.

I just started listening to this this morning, and the production quality is excellent. I'm a bit of an Apollo history buff and already I've learned a few things I never knew about before.

The guy who narrates and interviews everyone is Brit who actually used to work for NASA, and is an astrophysicist & an engineer by training. But he's also got an excellent voice and he's a real good narrator for this.

So far there's seven episodes there will be a total of 11 when every week.
