Perfect way to keep us quiet and happy during your hiatus. See/hear yous guys when you get back.

Fraser needs less coffee and let Pam talk without interrupting! Also the ads ever few minutes is getting annoying, especially the same ad. Also these ads are not the same volume as the podcast! Fix this!

I’ve been listening to AC since 2008/9 and always looked forward to a new episode. However— due to life—I hadn’t listened in about a year. I decided to make an effort to listen to the Weather on Exoplanets and was taken aback at the hard sell for multiple Patreons at the beginning of the show. More importantly, I was appalled by the ads every five minutes, including the same ad running more than once in one show. I was used to Dr. Gay doing an ad read in the middle of the show but this is too much. I’ve unsubscribed.

Now they’ve decided to insert ad breaks every 5 minutes and turned what was a fantastic educational podcast into a ad farming mess. What a shame.

This podcast is amazing. It goes into the “how things work “ in all aspects of astronomy and the universe in a way that makes sense for everyone.

A focus on astronomy, and very little on space travel/exploration? Yes! Please, tell me how it all works! The entire team does a remarkable job. Thank you! One note; enough about the status of Pluto. Last I checked the Sun is a dwarf star. Are you next going to rave and rant how the Sun is not a star because it’s a dwarf star? Just terms people, they’re just terms. Still a fascinating place.

Smart but comprehendible discussion

Yea no got political like 3min in to it. I don’t even like him nor will I vote for him .But yea it’s not hard to say President Trump she just called him that bloke yea I’m out

Love the podcast. Keep it up!

Dude sorry about the pup, I love your podcasts though, get a new puppy and begin a new journey? Honestly, a new pup is so much work it is difficult to be sad because of the training, time and of course the love.

Podcast now allows you to have subscriptions. if possible, please do not go this route. A lot of us need this for free, and we can donate other ways.

I discovered this on a trip with my friend who got tired of my music. We both love Astronomy, so it was an obvious choice to try out a podcast. More recently, I’ve been painting scenes all around this huge room alone at my job redoing a haunted house for this season. I soon got tired of my music, so started listening to this all day every weekday instead. Despite having studied Astronomy some in college, and a decent amount in books, magazines, and websites on my own, I always learn new things, and gain insights into every topic they choose. Even when the topic doesn’t seem like it would interest me as much as others, I always become engaged and end up caring about it a lot more. This is the only podcast I ever want to listen to, and the producers are just great!

This podcast is not one I would recommend to anyone, much less anyone who is very much interested in learning more about space and space adjacent topics. The conversations are framed very poorly and can in turn mischaracterize the subject matter at hand, leading to people likely coming out with inaccurate understandings of the topics discussed. In particular, there’s an entire episode dedicated to solely the side effects of renewables. It’s was incredibly disingenuous and disappointing to frame the quote-unquote “complicated” topic of climate change by only discussing the side effects of each piece of renewable energy. A proper discussion should evaluate the pros and the cons to come at a holistic understanding of the subject at hand. This podcast just doesn’t quite do that though and mishandles some of the subject matter, in turn misinforming people. Some of the talking points used by the podcast can be dangerous, and are perpetuated by climate change deniers. -Why would we only focus on the side-effects for any given thing, most especially for renewables? -Do the benefits still outweigh the cons? -Are things being overstated or not? For starting off by qualifying the topic as so “complicated” the podcast takes a particularly uncomplicated stance and effectively just serves to misinform listeners.

The host (Fraser) seems to think very highly of himself. Mostly pointing out in small ways that he’s better or smarter than you. As a graduate with 2 masters degrees in engineering, and one in astronomy I can tell you he’s not. He’s simply a pretentious narcissist whom seems to love to interrupt his co-host, (also pretty chauvinistic) and make the show about himself. Not much critical info here, pretty cringy to listen to lately due to his blatant narcissistic and unfounded arrogant displays, If you’re into astronomy, you can do far better for sure.

I’m just a mom, and definitely not a scientist. But I absolutely love this podcast. Keep doing what you’re doing+ Science for the People!

This podcast is the one I always look forward to the most. I really enjoy the dynamic between Pamela & Fraser, along with the depth & relatability with which they treat each topic-those often seem to be treated as mutually exclusive, but Astronomy Cast has found the perfect habitable zone. Matt G.

Did I just hear Pamela go on an “oh poor me” extravaganza about how all her holidays are wrecked for her and her family by NASA’s scheduling? The program actually got to about 8:30 before she got around to the first one that occurred ‘during’ her career (in grad school).

Wonderful conversation and topics. Keep doing what you’re doing. Love it and no complaints.

A new drinking game. Every time Fraser says “right,” you get to take a shot. You will be trashed by the end of the show.

Terrific conversations on the stars, space, the physics of the universe, and the science and engineering of how humanity gains its knowledge.

Condescending, rude, broadly unlikeable hosts complaining about funding and politics. Just because we can’t see you doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be embarrassed.

She opened the show talking about leaving America seemingly for “social justice issues?” It’s an astronomy podcast lol. What an absolute clown opinion.

Phenomenal podcast! Informative and entertaining. Treat yourself and give them a listen.

On multiple occasions, the hosts decide to speak on their politics and show their liberal bias. I listen for astronomy; if I wanted to listen to politics I would’ve subscribed to a different podcast. This is a joke. Unsubscribed.

I’m extremely grateful to have found this podcast. I’m a layman who has always loved astronomy and took all my science electives in astronomy and physics. Anyone can understand the conversations without a technical background, but it still manages to be complex and in depth enough for an interested person with a basic background in the field. Listen to it.

Just found this podcast the other day and WOW! I love the content and it makes me feel like I’m quietly sitting in on a meeting about what’s going on in the world of space and science exploration. Working my way from the early episodes to current. I’m really happy with the chemistry between everyone. Very friendly and the conversations complement each other’s intelligence about the topics talked about.

In all of the episodes I’ve listened to, the audio is horrible. It’s as though you’re forgetting you’re speaking into a mic.

I really like this podcast because it’s like my little secret lol its so interesting because they talk about things on a deeper level also nobody really knows exactly how much i love this so nobody would ever tease me about liking science and so its just sooooo amazing it’s cool how their content is bizarre and so intriguing.

Really enjoying this, I’ve been looking for a podcast about all things Universe for ages, and finally found one! Very interesting

Do we have the technology to make artificial gravity on the moon?

I look forward each week for this podcast! Pamela and Fraser have a fantastic rapport as they discuss varying aspects of the universe and our place in it. Can’t recommend their podcast, YouTube’s, and twitch channels enough!

As a casual astronomy fan Astronomy Cast has great discussions that keep you interested. Great for experts and casuals like me.

Good content for the average listener, but they really need to even out their volumes.

Thank you for your dedication!

Keep doing what your doing this is awesome I love it!

Fraser and Pamela create one of my favorite podcasts. Be sure to check out the ‘raw’ versions of each show on their website. They include behind-the-scenes banter and listener questions not included in the official releases.

Could you please do a podcast on quark stars? Also the differences between neutron stars, quark stars, and strange stars? Are strangelets a real thing or just a “quark” of the math?

This is one of my favorite podcasts! Can’t get enough! Go science!

Remarkable how Dr. Gay is able to explain even subtle aspects fo physics and astronomy in a clear and understandable way even without video. Most similar information services are video only. I greatly appreciate being able to learn from this podcast without sitting down to watch. Update 2019. Still true. I listen all the time. Even back episodes are useful. I just joined patreon to support the show.

started listening in high school.... continue 10 years later love it love it love it

I love how I can listen to this and learn fun astronomy facts and news at the same time. This podcast has increased my knowledge, intriguing to listen to, and have me new ideas for observatories to visit.

I really enjoy listening to this podcast. I am trying to catch up to current releases as I am still a few years behind. The hosts have great voices and wonderful chemistry, they cover a huge range of topics that relate, sometimes tangentially, to astronomy.

Great content on the latest astonomical science and space missions and entertaining dialogue from both hosts. I love this show!

I adore this podcast. I listened to it when I took an astronomy class and it helped me SO much. I love listening to it now because it helps me remember all the cool and freaky stuff about space.

Really really great show! They talk thoroughly and interestingly about science, physics, and astronomy. A great way to learn more about the world around us. **ONE RECOMMENDATION** it would be so awesome if you guys could organize the podcasts by season! I am powering through all the episodes from the beginning, and it stinks to have to scroll all the way to the bottom of a 500 episode long list.

This was such a great show but as time went on I learned far more about Caspar mattresses than about astronomy each episode. Shame really.

Good overviews of interesting and timely astronomy topics. Occasionally I hear few errors on items that are a bit outside their areas of expertise but in general it is on point.

It takes 5-6 minutes of talking to actually get to the podcast. And the co host is extremely redundant. Fraser: good radio voice and easy to understand. Co host: can’t keep a consistent distant from microphone and whispers half of her phrases. If I turn up the volume to listen to her extremely dynamic tonalities I get blown out when ever Fraser talks.

My favorite podcast right now. Great chemistry between the hosts. The topics, and Dr. Gay is incredibly knowledgeable and articulate in covering each one.

The most likable people in the universe tell you the latest in the universe... what’s not to like?!
