Find out how Earth's magnetic field arises and helps protect our atmosphere, and why Mars' lack of magnetic field contributed to its loss of atmosphere. You'll hear about MAVEN, Michael Faraday, Eugene's plan to terraform other planets and... Insane Clown Posse? Watch this Behind the Scenes video now, and then listen to the entire podcast at
