Episode 22 - Orb: On the Movements of the Earth by Uoto

A historical manga on Heliocentrism? Really? Well don't be alarmed dear listener, because there's more to this manga than meets the eye! This week, Mat is joined by storyteller / cartoonist Ramzee, to talk about the manga by Uoto that is the basis for the NHK/Netflix anime of the same name.

Join us as we discuss this manga's seemingly unusual theme, how it uses science both as the story's engine and it's protagonist, and perhaps most shockingly of all, how you don't even need to like astronomy to get the most out of the book! 

Thanks to Juliano Zucareli for our theme music!
