Solar eclipse: everyone should see one at least once — it’s really worth the trip!

Did you see the recent total solar eclipse? Eclipses are really incredible! Find out why in this episode.

A few notes:

In the episode I mention Horatio Cushman. I should have read more about him before speaking, but you can read about him here if you like. He was not Choctaw, but he lived in the same area and wrote a major history of the Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Natchez, published in 1899.

The Archilochus quote comes from this page.

I found the audio clip of the eclipse here (really a video):  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2017_Total_Solar_Eclipse_with_Audience_Reaction.webm#filelinks. This is the license that allows me to use it: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en
