Mates in Space

Justin McArthur and Jack Eaton are going to get to space, without taking Earth’s bulls**t up with them. As Australia plans for a future among the stars, we’re stuck hearing about the joyrides of billionaires — but there are far more interesting conversations to be had. 'Mates in Space' is a science comedy podcast about our space aspirations, featuring a mix of narrative journalism, interviews with experts, and (occasionally) jokes. It’s a bit nerdy, a bit sciency, and a lot of fun. Dr Karl, eat your heart out.  ABOUT THE SHOW: Mates in Space is produced by Justin McArthur and Jack Eaton, and hosted by P. Zinner & Co. For more info, check out our website at http://matesin.space. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY: Mates in Space was made on Kaurna, Gadigal and Wurundjeri Country, never ceded. We pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We also pay respect to other First Nations peoples.
