Customer Reviews
A must listen every week
This is great podcast from a marvellous organisation.
Brilliantly hosted by Mat Kaplan (who, sadly, has recently announced his retirement from hosting the show). The best and latest information on all matters related to Planetary Science and much much more every Wednesday, with a monthly Space Policy edition released on the first Friday of every month.
If you’re into Space this is the show for you!
Great content 👎 audio quality
I love the content of this show but the audio quality is not up to scratch compared to the other podcasts I listen to. I end up listening to 5-10 mins and getting fed up with the bad audio so stop listening. Such a shame
Top notch podcast for space enthusiasts!
