Cosmic Tales is a show about the stories written into the night sky. Every constellation has a myth behind it, a culture that named it, and a science that explains it — and most of them are stranger and more compelling than you might expect. Host Diana explores one corner of the sky at a time, moving through Greek tragedy, Indigenous oral tradition, Babylonian astronomy, medieval star catalogs, and the genuinely extreme physics of dying stars, all in the same episode. No telescope required. Just curiosity and a willingness to look up.

Seven stars. Countless stories. In our first episode, we follow Ursa Major and the Big Dipper from Greek tragedy to Indigenous hunting myth, from the Islamic Golden Age to the Underground Railroad — and then into the stars themselves, where a galaxy is bullying its neighbors and a black hole is eating a star. The bear who never sets has been overhead every clear night for all of human history.
