&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;As we hit the one year mark since the first U.S. state (California) issued a stay-at-home order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we put out a call to see if any of you would take us to your secret escape spot and record audio there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;And you astounded us with what you brought in. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;In this soundrich, kaleidoscopic episode, we journey around the planet and then, quite literally, beyond it. Listen only if you want a boatload of fresh air, fields of wildflowers, stars, birds, frogs, and a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/segments/187718-edge-heavens"&gt;&lt;span&gt;riveting tale&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; involving Isaac Newton and a calm beyond any calm you knew could exist.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This episode was produced by Matt Kielty and Lulu Miller, with production support from Jonny Moens and Suzie Lechtenberg. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
