Today we talk with Journalist Earl Swift. Earl’s latest book, Across the Airless Wilds: The Lunar Rover and the Triumph of the Final Moon Landings, is the follow-up to his acclaimed New York Times bestseller Chesapeake Requiem.

Today’s interview is hosted by Royal Institution of Australia Editor-in-Chief Ian Connellan.
