Episode 92 begins with a look at the staggering $93 billion price tag behind America’s return to deep‑space flight, contrasting the awe of Artemis II with the hard question of whether such spending is justified when housing, healthcare, infrastructure, and education are in crisis. The hosts then widen the lens, using Pew and Gallup data to show how Americans remain inspired by space exploration yet increasingly demand accountability, fiscal restraint, and a clearer argument for why lunar missions should outrank urgent needs here on Earth. The hour ends with an interview featuring Nancy Lee Gulbrandsen -- a Florida‑based author and humorist whose satirical dating guide, Swipe Left: The Savvy Woman’s Guide to Decoding Men’s Dating Profiles, recently ranked in Amazon’s Top 10 in the Online Dating category. Her sharp, self‑aware take on modern romance has resonated with readers nationwide, turning her real‑life misadventures into empowering, laugh‑out‑loud insight for women navigating today’s dating landscape.
