Love these guys! Fantastic podcast, among my top - always look forward to the new releases! Thank you for a fantastic resource!

I came across this podcast after a mention on other featuring Robert Simpson. Very glad to have found it and am now in the process of an ill-considered binge-listening session.

Recycled Electrons is a great light hearted discussion of the weeks science news, with and astronomy and astrophysics bent. But interesting stories from all areas of science covered too. The chemistry between Rob and Chris (and other participants when they are guest hosting) is great. An essential addition to you podcast feeds.

I've listened to many factual podcasts, daily, over the years. They mainly fall into: the various BBC Radio 4 podcasts; Stuff You Should Know; Radiolab & now Recycled Electrons, which is by far my favourite. Their intelligent humour just fits my cheeky, slightly nerdy professional self, who loves all science.

But this podcast is more than that. It's certainly been accessible to someone like myself who had no prior astrophysics experience at all. I have learned through following the excellent links on Tumblr. Through them I have: become a citizen scientist on the Zooniverse project, improved how I communicate science to my patients & to children, & they have given me ideas for my own medical podcast & already helped me achieve communication through local radio & TV by giving me confidence & advice. I love them in a total groupie way (& they know that ;) but it's because I share a similar vision: science should be accessible to all, & this podcast is a good place to do that & get ideas. Do listen.

Please let us know when you'll be back. So much has happened still early February, not least the potential gravity waves discovery in the CMB. I for one want to know the Chris and Rob view :)

The frequency of these podcasts is always pretty erratic. The last podcast was over 6 weeks ago & I keep checking at least twice a day to see if there is a new one. That's how good it is. I just hope Rob & Chris haven't fallen out & aren't speaking, what will I do then?

Have followed these podcasts for two years as the silent ‘listener’, and thoroughly enjoy every episode! I’ve been an amateur astronomer for 30+ years, and recently started a GCSE in Astronomy to help firm up my knowledge - helped and encouraged by the infectious enthusiasm of the two well-learned Astronomers hosting the show. All hail Rob and Chris! Keep up the good work - and many thanks for the continual inspiration!

Fantastic podcast for those interested in science and science communication.

Unmissable.

An extremely accessible podcast for anyone, Chris and Rob banter about all things astrophysics (a lot about Marrrrrs), and various geeky stuff. Very easy listening, funny, and informative, an essential feature in my week.

Genuinely entertaining astronomy and science banter from two very likeable and knowledgeable hosts. Quickly becoming my favourite podcast!

Jen and I listen to this last thing in bed. This means there is one night of the week when I don't get any. However, this (along with infinite monkey cage) is a podcast that is worth it

The guys cover all the genuinely interesting stuff in astronomy and other related (and often unrelated) topics brilliantly. They manage to keep the podcasts coming in from wherever they may be in the world too. Its like you've met up with your rather clever mates in the pub for a chat about all things astronomy and science.

There is a related website where they post lots of links to stuff they've been discussing in the show, so you can always follow up on anything that takes your fancy. So I think 30 minutes is about right to keep things snappy and fun.

I think its great, and strongly recommend you become 'The Listener' !!

Two scientists having a chat and a bit of a laugh. Great listening on the drive to work.

Why save stuff for next time? If it's interesting , then use it while it's fresh. Podcasts can vary in length , and 40 mins or so is perfectly acceptable. You always seem like you've got more to say , so say it .

Geek-offs are taken to a whole new level of charm in this series of podcasts – it’s a little bit educational and a lot of fun – as Dr Chris and Dr Rob travel round the world (but mostly stay in Oxford) trying to get more people interested in Science. New discoveries and research are discussed, and if you can get an “ALL HAIL” – that’s when you know you’re really special. I’m still waiting for mine…

5 stars.

I hope that was cheesy enough for you.

This enjoyable podcast makes me smile.

It's best described as like overhearing two well informed blokes in a pub

having a light hearted discussion about "astro-sience" over a pint.

What's not to like ?

Chris and Rob make great company as they chat about astronomy, physics and other areas of science. Charming, warm and enlightening. Marvellous glimpse into the world of a working scientist. Whoooooop bruuuuuuw in whale. All hail.

All hail recycled electrons. Both fun and informative Rob and Chris have a brilliant banter with each other.

Affable co-hosts Chris and Rob talk about the latest developments in astronomy and space news, while frequently digressing, getting things wrong, arguing, forgetting people's names, ranting vociferously, and occasionally giving a running commentary on what they can see out of the window. One day all podcasts will be this good.

A nerdy delight for astronomers and non-astronomers alike.
