Tonight's Planet Waves FM first looks at Saturday's eclipse in Capricorn.

In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM, my guest is Prof. Janice Fiamengo, who teaches English at the University of Ottawa.

We're approaching a turning point in the year and maybe in contemporary history, about to experience a Full Moon on the Northern winter solstice with the minor planet Pholus involved. I describe that in tonight's subscriber edition as well as in tonight's Planet Waves FM.

We have a magnificent edition of Planet Waves FM for you tonight -- the first marking our 20th anniversary of publishing. The program came out a little longer than I was planning and will be excellent for a long winter night, perhaps two nights, or a long car drive.
