The Universe for Dummies

Oh my goodness! Thank you, John for asking all the questions I’m too embarrassed to ask my astrophysicist friends. Can’t wait for more!

Incredibly excited about this!

Katie Mack has always been a favorite person of interest in Nerdfighteria, and seeing her team up with John to discuss the deepest parts of astrophysics and cosmology while John adds a literary flavor to Katie’s excellent science communication prowess is really fun. This will be an incredible series!

New Knowledge

I have new knowledge and appreciation of the cosmic microwave background after listening to Katie in this podcast. That is just one of the areas of learning. Very enjoyable podcast, I take my time with it and repeat sections as needed. If you like podcasts by Dr Paul Sutter or Daniel and Jorge, you will like this.
