Updated Audio: Ep. 475: Fast Radio Bursts


If you got the previous version of Ep. 475 with bad audio, here’s the fixed version!
You know what’s fun? Mysteries. Here’s one: fast radio bursts. Astronomers have been detecting mysterious one-time signals from across the sky. What’s causing them? Nobody knows for sure, but the search is on to get to the bottom of them.
