The Rough Corner: The End of Days Eclipse ft. Dr Francis Young
About this episode
Following the stunning eclipse over North America, should we be putting sun cream on our eyes? (No). Are astronomical phenomena a portent of terrible things to come? (probably not). But why are we still caught in a thrall by eclipses, comets and stars? Dr Francis Young, historian of religion and belief, has been collecting history's strangest theories about what happens way above our heads.
And if you missed it...
