The earlier episodes often give introductions to topics in a way that normal people can understand. If you are interested n space and related subjects, then you can listen to these primers, get entertained and informed, and have a significant backlog of episodes that are still relevant. Plus, new episodes keep you up to date on recent developments.

The S.K.P. Machine

Factually incorrect, & shamelessly so. A complete waste of time.

The Space Podcast for Enthusiasts

This is a great podcast hosted by two professional communicators that squarely hits the sweet spot between general understanding and technical detail of all things SPACE. The hosts keep the discussions well above the 6th grade common denominator of news paper stories yet accessible to listeners who are not working in aerospace. Each episode of this biweekly (fortnightly) podcast starts with a roundup of recent space news before embarking on a deep dive into one or more meaty space topics. There have been a couple of guests so far with expertise in some aspect of space and they plan on having many more. New episodes of this podcast go straight to the top of my listening cue as soon as they are posted. Not to be missed.
