About this episode
Can’t sleep? Yeah, that tracks. Might as well learn how hot air balloons work while you’re here. This episode covers the basics of hot air balloon flight, a little history, and why heating air somehow equals floating. Calm, steady reading, no effort required, just enough real information to keep your brain busy until it finally drifts off. Happy sleeping!
