We know how the story goes, but we can’t wait to hear it again. Buzz Aldrin, a 39-year-old astronaut from New Jersey, planted the American flag on the moon on July 20, 1969, as his Apollo 11 crew-mate Neil Armstrong uttered the eternal words “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” That space mission was one of the most watched television broadcasts in human history, and it continues to captivate audiences today—especially with a new podcast that brings Aldrin back to life, played by the inimitable John Lithgow. Juxtaposing his personal struggles (alcohol abuse and a crumbling marriage) alongside the gripping race to beat Russia to the moon, Buzz captures a figure that is equal parts myth and man. —Paulina Prosnitz
