Podcast 187: Chasing the Eclipse

While the 2015 solar eclipse is still about 18 months away, tour operators are busy preparing for it. Hotel rooms in the Faroe Islands during the days around the eclipse have long since been sold out, and now an eclipse chaser is in the country looking for a good place to view the once-in-a-lifetime event.

Our good friend Heri Simonsen caught up with Kate Russo and asked her about chasing eclipses and the perils of trying to view a celestial event from one of the most cloudy locations on earth.

After that, we head out to the exceedingly sunny village of Haldarsvik (pictured above) and soak up a few hundred years of history.

As always, you can listen to the show on the media player at the top of this page, on iTunes, on Stitcher Smart Radio, or the No Agenda live stream.
