The Star River Podcast

The Star River: Astronomy, Culture, and the Cosmic Connection We are all travelers on a single current - a River of Space and Time flowing from ancient suns into the distant future. On The Star River, we don’t just watch the universe pass by; we wade into the stream. Hosted by Eric Loyd (the Astropotamus), this podcast bridges the gap between the technical and the transcendent. We explore our inextricable link to the Cosmos through the lenses of astrophotographers, the melodies of musicians, and the insights of world-class astrophysicists and celestial explorers. The Ritual of the Glass Every episode begins with a ritual: sharing a local drink to ground ourselves in the present before we navigate the infinite. From the physics of light to the silence of the high desert, we seek to understand the current that moves through us all. What to Expect: Deep Space Science: Exploring the VLA, the James Webb Space Telescope, and the cutting edge of Black Holes and Active Galactic Nuclei.Astro-Culture: Interviews with educators, artists, and authors inspired by the night sky.The Human Element: Stories of wonder, heritage, and the "First Light" moments that change us forever. You are already in the River. Join us as we navigate its bends, its shallows, and its sudden falls. Raise a glass, find your place in the flow, and let’s see where the current takes us.
