Houston, we have a podcast. Welcome to the official podcast of the NASA Johnson Space Center,

episode 330, Eclipse Across North America 2024. I'm Gary Jordan and I'll be introducing a new host today.

On this podcast we bring in the expert, scientists, engineers, and

astronauts all to let you know what's going on in the world of human spaceflight and

more and for this episode I'm very excited to welcome a new voice of the

podcast Kenapel. Kenna, welcome.

Hey Gary, thank you so much for having me,

more than what, 300 episodes.

It's quite an honor to be here and to learn from you.

Yeah, but you, I mean, you auditioned and it was super clear that you would be an awesome voice for this.

But you were not always at JSC, not always around here, but it was great to have you around here.

You originally, your last job you had was over at the Kennedy Space Center.

No, I was not always at JSC and I absolutely love it here. I love Houston, but I also love where it came from, like you said, KSC. They they're so different but so also the same in many ways is the

NASA family right so transitioning from Kennedy Space Center over here to Johnson has been so much

fun and I'm really happy to be here.

So in terms of your role, you work very closely with the International Space Station

program, is that right?

I do, and I love my role. I am, I work strategic and internal comms for the program which is based here at Johnson Space Center and I absolutely love it everyone knows that I love ISS.

Yeah and you're going to be doing some of the episodes coming up you're going to be doing have to do with ISS, so it'll be great to have you as a recurring voice on this podcast.

Well, thanks Gary. It is really cool to learn from you.

Well, you're going to take it away for the great North American eclipse. Are you ready? Let's do it. All right, take it away for the great North American Eclipse. Are you ready?

Let's do it.
