Eclipse on Tap
Eclipse on Tap
Pub 39A Studios
The original casual, conversational podcast about eclipses of all kinds and space in general. Along with occasional guests, we hope to spread our enthusiasm and excitement for eclipses and other celestial events (while enjoying tasty beer, of course). This excitement originally stems back to our 2017 total solar eclipse experience and now we are hooked! So, crack open a cold one and join us in making totality a reality!
