Simply the best astrophysics pot cast there is!
The topics, consistent quality, awesome guests and one of my favorite hosts. And it is more about science, not just popular science.
Next to Leonard Susskind's Theoretical Minimum lectures it's the best thing on internet today, I this general genre.
Thank you Planetary Society!
Professor
Without doubt the most professional, up-to-date, interesting and entertaining way to keep up with all things SPACE. It is recommended listening for a number of my courses. Where else can you get interviews with the newsmakers within space science and technology, a random space fact competition and even a witty message from Bill Nye? Try it, you will be hooked! Not space interested? Caution: you will be.
Best science podcast ever?
I follow more or less every space related podcast on iTunes, and this one is by far the best. If you're interested in latest developments in ongoing NASA missions, planetary science and space exploration, you HAVE to check this out.
I never review anything online or comment things really, but I feel inclined when brilliant people produce great content like this free of charge. The only bad thing about this podcast is that it will probably end some day.
