The True Cinderella Story of The First Woman To Discover a Comet: Caroline Herschel

Mercury is in retrograde as this episode was recorded and the latest happenings in Kelly and Red's lives certainly reflect that, but never fear! Dopamine-infused goodness is on the way with the epic profile of late-blooming trailblazer Caroline Herschel, who experienced such childhood cruelty, she thought of herself as Cinderella. Yet she overcame abuse and disfigurement to reach for the stars! Red then leads an astronomy themed round of Do We Love This or That?
