    Thanks
    Great podcast. The only podcast where you don’t have to skip the first 2 to 8 minutes.
  • Gizmo/117
    Great Podcast
    This podcast is very interesting and informative. Since I’ve been listening this past year, I’ve been more interested in space. Great great show
  • MarkChicagoIL
    I like this show, but …
    … I have to assume FC is joking when he talks about alien civilizations building Dyson spheres, moving stars and planets and harvesting energy of entire galaxies.
  • salesman 857
    Awesome insightful incredible
    This podcast teaches the how’s and why’s about the amazing universe we live in.
  • Emperorpike
    Great Work
    When listening I can tell not only how much he cares about what he does but manages to present it in a fun way for the people, I would highly suggest listening to universe today if you any to have your science questions answered or just love space

  • PrettyFinch
    The Best Space
    I'm retired and garden all day listening to over 50 different science podcasts and this one is the best for some space, astronomy, and cosmology news! I found it by first listening to Fraser and Dr.Pamela Gay doing AstronomyCast together. Both are fabulous presenters and Fraser goes beyond with the fantastic Universe Today. Time well spent!
  • WhiplashZamboniMan
    Entertainment no nonsense information
    One of my favorite podcasts. Excellent information that I greatly appreciate since I’m completely blind and unable to participate in astronomy in other ways.
  • Danny’s Park
    Brilliant
    A great no-nonsense podcast to get your brain engaged.
  • indibugg
    Complex concepts made simpler
    I recently found this podcast and am grateful and excited! I am not an astronomer but have an interest in astronomy. Fraser Cain makes topics easier to understand and does so with enthusiasm. Keep up the good work!
  • GeoSwa
    Educational and Inspiring!
    The universe today podcast, is my favorite podcast. Fraser Cain leads a team in producing a show that is disciplined to the evidence based scientific process. As I strive to live my life by the scientific process, the show is not only extremely informative and educational, it also helps me be a better person to live a more peaceful and productive life in our conflagrated times. 5 stars is my rating, some error shows one.
  • Bannon Grey
    Spectacular source for space and astronomy news. Unbiased, technical reporting.
    I’ve been following the Universe Today podcasts for years now and they just keep getting better. Their Space Bites podcast gives you great information in a short amount of time. Perfect for a drive home. The question and answer shows help you understand complex topics in a very simplified quick manner, and their in-depth interviews allow you to get the facts directly from the PhD sources. So when you’re tired of all the other depressing news out there and want to just geek out with some amazing space facts, tune in to Universe Today by Fraser Cain and his team.
  • Goofy ahh goofer
    👍
    Haven’t watched it yet but looks good
  • navid_jl
    A well-rounded astronomy podcast
    I've been following UA for a year now and I have to say that I should've discovered it many years ago. It has already taught me quite a lot about space and astronomy.
  • Yupik islander
    😎
    I appreciate all the up to date space news you and Dr. Pamala Gay disseminate to those of us who can’t get enough space info. In a multiple star system can they all merge and go super nova? Thanks Aloha George
  • juggernaut22111999
    The Best Podcast ever
    Frazier is amazing! He being very clear information to the audience. His material is great for all viewers wether you are advanced or beginner. I find myself looking forward to Friday’s when he uploaded new material and always excited to listen to a new podcast episode!
  • mispoken
    A mind bending journey!
    I’ve been listening to Fraiser for about 5 years. I’m trying to absorb as much space knowledge into my dense brain as I can and Fraiser does a really good job of speaking to the lowest common denominator (me). A wealth of knowledge and a podcast that really gets your mind thinking and sometimes breaks your brain (in a good way). In a world that seems to be shunning science, this podcast is a breath of fresh air!
  • Jonnydanger555
    A fun, inspired and educational podcast on the fascinating subject of the cosmos.
    This podcast is a mix of exciting space news, technologies and listener’s questions. It’s always well delivered by a long time space journalist Fasier Cain. I enjoy every segment of the show and if you marvel at the great beyond, you will too!
  • lingua203
    A welcome new addition to my feed!
    Every so often I need to unfollow shows and add nee ones. So I just starter following this show mid summer of 2023. Great up to date information! The host does a great job breaking down all the information for us. This podcast is a keeper and i always look forward to new episodes!
  • Gaels123
    Great info
    Listen and learn. Concise information about current news in astronomy. Highly recommend
  • Flip Flanagan
    The best space podcast for a reason
    Do you want to hear your questions answered? Do you want a weekly brief of the week’s space news? Do you want to hear great interviews with the scientists and researches expanding the limits of what we know about space, physics, and cosmology? Here be your podcast! Fraser Cain’s enthusiasm comes through in every episode. He seems to have taken science and space communication as his personal mission. The podcast is densely packed with content and is produced and edited as well as any podcast out there. Mash the subscribe button and enjoy.
  • Blogworkorange
    Best Astronomy Podcast
    I love to learn about astronomy but I got really frustrated with Astronomy content online esp on YouTube. A lot is not very accurate or click baity twists grains of some new findings. This podcast is delivers 20:20 vision to anybody who is willing listen and learn. If I find some article I usually wait for Fraiser’s next podcast and see what he says about it. Astronomy cast is great too but a little less day to day.
  • Abe_the _Alien
    Best science podcast hands down!
    Compelling and accurate news journalism I can’t get enough of. & no ads!
  • Taborlk
    The Go-To Astronomy Podcast!
    I’ve been following Frasier’s Astronomy audio podcasts almost 10 years now. His giving, good nature and dedication to science education is evident in all his endeavors. I’ve learned so much over time thanks to low key, affable approach. Many thanks also to his wonderful staff for putting this all together! Barcroft
  • Icohen23
    Best Astronomy and Astrophysics Podcast Hands Down
    I love this podcast! Great science journalism, and the perfect balance of hard subject matter for non scientists and scientists alike. It explores the edges of our understanding without delving into “in 10,000 years we might…” kind of thinking. Stays in the here and now with a long view.
  • Mark JJ
    Fantastic space sciences show
    Really fantastic space show - astronomy, cosmology, planets, rocketry. Universe Today covers all sorts of interesting topics with true expert interviews. Fraisure somehow manages to make everything understandable to the general audience while at the same time encouraging guests to treat us listeners as a ‘quite sophisticated’ so they open up and get right into real details about their research. If you have any questions, Fraisure can and will answer them on the question show episodes. Subscribe now!
  • ShaveIce
    A pleasure to listen
    Fraser is a joy to listen to. He’s as excited as we are by this amazing age of space exploration. He never talks down to the listener, nor does he insult your intelligence. This is the comfort food of astronomy podcasts.
  • haaaayhey
    Outstanding
    This is simply one of the best science podcasts . Bite-sized insights about the science and business of space from the incredibly thoughtful Frasier Cain. Frasier Cain is a national treasure and there is simply other journalist like him. Universe Today is a complete treasure.
  • SamSDallas
    Absolutely fantastic!
    This is one of the best and easy to consume space and astronomy podcast out there. Thank you so much to the team for putting together all the amazing content week over week!
  • autotopism
    Frequent, trustworthy, neutral austronomy
    Learn astronomy as it is today. Interviews with scientists, covering grants, theory, experiments, and results. A well researched host with a hopeful message and grounded opinions. This is a science show but just as fun and imaginative as science fiction. Keep at it for another 20 years!
  • z_cheshire
    Awesome source of space news
    A weekly hodgepodge of news, Q&A, and interviews all related to happenings in space tech and astronomy.
  • Laurrrsss
    Love this pod!
    This podcast is so educational but it isn’t boring. It is a nice mix of facts and personality, I’m always looking forward to the next episode! Thanks for what you do!
  • Gregy1111
    Love the news!
    Love the podcast—my favorites are the space bites every Friday. I listen every week!
  • SkiBikeSwim
    Thank you!
    It’s so hard to find an unpretentious, genuinely informative podcast on the cosmos. I’m so so grateful and helps me understand complex ideas even though I’m not an astronomer - just a curious person!
  • Curio Rowleyanus
    Good content, horrendous delivery
    He covers interesting topics. But …I find his delivery to be incredibly annoying. Does not enunciate and has the vocabulary and diction of a high schooler. Cringe inducing. Also, feels like often he is trying to show off his knowledge instead of letting his guests speak. Dude - take some courses in public speaking, listen to top rated podcasters like Sean Carroll and Steven Strogtaz on how to deliver content that is rich, complex, and yet pleasing to the ear.
  • nerdly12445
    One of my favorites
    Always check podcasts or YouTube for your fantastic content
  • Bbgtr123
    FRB’s
    I am a fan of Avi Loeb.. His theory of artificial FRB’s as propulsion systems is both exciting and frightening!
  • syncefreak
    Good content and great guests just some feedback for host…
    The host many time cuts and interrupts and seems to be more interesting in showing what he knows about the subject of the episode to the host . Not every time but I think it is annoying. Just a tad on the side of keeping the questions pointed without first explaining how he understands would make it better. Good show this
  • thepreymusic
    Great Show - Always entertaining and educational
    Love the channel! Here’s one for the question show: what *is* IONIZATION? I’ve heard the “origin of the universe/Big Bang” story enough to have a grip on most of it, but I just don’t “get” what “ionization” or “ionized” means, nor how to connect in my mind what it does at both the smallest and largest scales. Explain it to me like I’m 12? Thanks for all your work. 🙏🏼

  • swmartini
    So Much Information
    As a kid in the 70s and early 80s I would have killed for even 5 min of the information provided by Fraser and his team in this podcast. We are in the best time ever for Astronomy news and Fraser brings it all together. Thank you!
  • Chaim K.
    Loved your episode on Brian Keating’s The INTO THE IMPOSSIBLE Podcast
    Glad you went on. Keep up the great content!!
  • Child of the regan era
    Universe Today
    Frasiers podcasts are a fan favorite of mine and the work him and the team put into this is very appreciated. He has a way of presenting complex science topics in a very easily understanding way. Corporate sponsors should take note of how a podcast should be when analyzing his show. He's wit and intelligence make for a great program.
  • Doris2023
    Great podcast
    I have received quite an education on astronomy listening to this podcast. It is a wonderful resource for the lay person interested in learning more about space and the steps we are taking to explore more of it.
  • MSUcatz1
    For the podcast algorithm gods
