Recorded at the first ever Podcast Social Club at Rural Arts, Thirsk, a very special edition of the show — The Great Syzygy Space Off #2! Emily and Chris compete for glory in a series of three exoplanet-themed categories: the deadliest, the most terrifying, and the weirdest and wonderfulest planets in the universe. Our fabulous audience voted for their favourites, choosing who would walk away wearing the coveted GSSO Crown!
