    Episode 14: Numerology

    What's your number? Turns out there's a few, and we'll find out what they are. In this episode we'll take a closer look at numerology (known once upon a time as arithmancy) -- its history, the methods, and a few examples. I've always loved numerology, but studying it now has given me a few new insights into myself. I hope you discover something new and exciting as we take this journey. We'll also learn what's going on in the skies this month, from a Beaver Moon to meteor showers. If you like what you hear, I would greatly appreciate a like/follow/subscribe.

    Episode 13: Tools of the Trade

    In this episode I'll discuss the four main tools I'll use: numerology, astrology, human design, and tarot. We'll also see how artists use data from space telescopes to create images of alien worlds (aka exoplanets.) Science isn't just for the classroom or textbook--it can be used to create beautiful art and music! I hope you enjoy!

    Episode 11: The Sun

    What's the brightest star in the sky? The Sun, of course! It's also my favorite. In this episode, we'll take a look at that nuclear fusion reactor in the sky. What powers the Sun? How big is it compared to its cosmic counterparts? What is the solar spectrum? Join me as we go "walking on sunshine!"

    Episode 10: Stellar Evolution

    Ten episodes is a personal milestone! To celebrate, I'm talking about one of my favorite subjects in astronomy--stellar evolution. How are stars born? What happens when they die? What's a rock n' roll star? Come with me and take a ride on--and off--the main sequence!
