Great podcast from the crew!

This is the best astronomy podcast for hobbyists, amateur astronomers or anyone with a passion for space. Honest opinions, no ads, news and topical content.

I love this show. Found it by accident, now working my way through every podcast. I have been educated and amused in equal measure. Keep up the great work all. Carpe noctem!

Great show that strikes the right balance between information and entertainment

The most entertaining and informative podcast covering astronomy and space exploration news! Oh our Martian overlords please conquer us now! :-) just brilliant!

Interesting astronomy show that is both informative and entertaining

Whether by luck or design the producers of this show have a format which works perfectly.

There is something refreshing about 3 mates talking about space & astronomy in a very relaxed and informal way. The humour makes the episodes a joy to listen to every month.

Jen, Paul and Ralph easily switch into explaining the more complicated aspects of astronomy and space exploration. Each are on the ball and have researched the breaking space news to deliver it in digestible chunks.

The show has hit that rare sweet spot where it comes across as professional and polished without even trying to be.

Over the last 10 years this show has become a staple for me, long may it continue.

Thanks for all the effort you go to and keep up the superb work.

This is not your normal “isn’t science wonderful” type podcast. You get to listen to three friends chat about space and astronomy. A subject they clearly have a great deal of knowledge of and love for. Frequently irreverent and always funny, it manages to impart a great deal of information in an entertaining way. I really value the hosts’ take on the news, where they exercise their independence and say it how they see it.

An excellent bi-monthly show that strikes a good balance between being informative while also funny!

It’s a little bi-monthly gem. Some might say, Heaven-sent. Thanks guys for your this great show. Been “tuning” in for years and most of it goes over my head, see what I did there..?

Keep up the great work. Looooove it.

I’ve listened to the podcast for several years, and I’ve also been along to a couple of Astro camps.The enthusiasm and knowledge of all three is excellent, and the format is good for all types of astronomer: armchair, visual, or imager.

Keep up the good work and here’s to the next 100 episodes!

I really like this - very informal and fun and the team really know their stuff!

I cannot recommend this podcast highly enough! Informative and fun, definitely worth a listen! Subscribe today

The podcast I look forward to arriving each month (twice!). Fun, informative and keeps me intrigued to keep looking up. Keep going guys - bloody brilliant!

Su-bloody-perb.

More like a chat down the pub than many other podcasts, I enjoy this very much. The format of astronomy and space flight getting different episodes each month works very well. I like the history too - both Ralph’s enthusiasm for early space flight, and Paul’s random bits of history! And Jeni’s blaming everything on dust does have a strangely fascinating success rate...

I Love this podcast, its the higlight of my month.

Really enjoying the podcast and the presenters clear love of the subject. It would be easy to get too technical and turn listeners off but all the presenters strike a great balance. Keep it up!

I was recommended this podcast at a star party and never looked back. A fantastic relaxed show with plenty of lighthearted views on a subject I love. The out takes are great. The most recent podcast extra from The Cradle of Flight was amazing. I’ll be adding it to my wish list. I would like to hear from the crew on any equipment that they us and a few tips. FIVE SUPERNOVAS!!!!

Awesome episode, peak Ralph 😀

Keep up the great work on the podcasts, every one has something new Astro wise and always leaves me sniggering.

I love Diss

Thanks guys you make travel a great experience now

Apart from when I laugh out loud on a train or a bus and embarrass myself 😂😂😂

Keep going

Always look forward to the monthly episodes! Very informative very funny and great hosts. Long time listener around 7 or 8 years now I think!!! The best astronomy/science podcast out there!

The podcast that makes other shows hold their manhoods cheap...

A really interesting and informative Astro podcast interspersed with moments of hilarity.

I like dis :-)

Really fun, really informative, and really entertaining. Pitched just right, in my opinion, for everyone, even those new to the subject. Isn't overly techy, nor is it dumbed down. Spot on :)

New to the show, but really enjoying it. Great for amateur astronomers, space enthusiasts, and even for us astronomy PhD students (yes, this show has taught me a few things already!). Good quality recordings, decent format, and excellent hosts. 5 stars! 😊

Like the show, though not having a telescope I sometimes skip the actual 'what to see in the night sky' stuff. Can't say I want to hear politics on the show, even though I agree with most of it.

I am eager to hear the astronomy news, launch news etc. and I miss the explainers they used to do about what stuff is and how it works - stars, planets, radio telescopes etc. Or am I thinking of someone else.

That said, the relaxed style is engaging, the hosts likeable and the discussions on news items the most interesting bit... but that's just me.

A little silly at times, but that's no fault. Always informative and endlessly entertaining, a great listen.

I look forward so much to seeing the 2 podcasts downloading each month and hearing that intro music, I know that I have an hours interesting, informative, sometimes challenging for my amateur astronomers brain, and either mildly amusing or downright smutty. Well done and keep it up.

Awesome Astronomy podcast goes from strength to strength

The whole team put an extraordinary effort to make this professional yet fun, relaxed and informative podcast accessible to all.

With a very active social media presence and a genuine wish to help people enjoy their love of astronomy and science in general, you need to add this to your list of podcasts.

After all, You wouldn’t want to incite a Martian invasion now, would you?!

A lovely blend of factual and entertaining discussions around space and astronomy. The hosts have a great sense of humour and clearly put effort into producing something that keeps you engaged. Keep up the good work, and don’t forget to spare me come the Martian invasion 😉.

It’s an accessible space podcast that doesn’t dumb down the science. There’s great chemistry between the hosts and their enthusiasm for the topic leads to some genuine laugh out loud moments. Bring on the Martian revolution!

Humour, facts, knowledgeable presenters, debunking, entertainment, education and interviews this podcast has it all. It is all things space, not just astronomy which sets it apart. Good coverage of astronomy and space topics, astronaut interviews and the Essex Space Agency

This is a highly amusing yet informative astronomy podcast. Accesible to the novice yet informative for the not so new.

Theit Christmas specials are a wonder to behold

Yet their monthly contributions are not to be missed they include a monthly sky guide, a latwest news and a special feature such as alien megastructures (NOT); dust; Interstellar asteroids from the most recent episodes

You really must listen to at least one, after which you will be hooked

Sorry guys. I just pulled the chain on this one. If you ever decide to stick to science and leave the politics at the door let us know.

This is definitely in the top 3 best astronomy podcasts around at the moment. All three presenters come across as knowledgeable and funny without being annoying. It features a number of different segments per episode and interviews with astronomers from the cutting edge of their fields. Why aren't there more podcasts like this one?

This is a fantastic podcast - a great combination of astronomy news, in-depth discussions, fascinating interviews (especially the current batch of astronaut ones) and accessible guides to key concepts. Plus listeners’ questions and some entertaining bits of debunking. Highly recommended!

Probably the most entertainig and informative podcast around. A must for astronomy fans...

As an amateur astronomer with some experience, this podcast covers all bases, from beginer advice to fairly complex but not mathematically blinding cosmology Ralph and Paul entertainingly explain all things astronomical. Interesting interviews are a plenty and monthly sky guides are not to be missed, in addtion these guys arrange an astro camp each year in the dark skies area of Brecon Beacon, Wales for a chance to meet up and view the skies together. The podcast is provided free and anybody with an interest in astronomy would be missing out to not take advantage of this generous offer.

Many thanks for the scfi shows... I can hear the Thunderbirds music as I type

Really enjoy this podcast every month !

Great fun everymonth with lots of facts and interesting features. Fabulous sky guide and interviews. Can't recommend highly enough..

this is a great podcast for all with an intrest in astronomy. it fun and informative and not to heavy on the science.

A must listen for anyone with an interest in astronomy and the related sciences.

A monthly mix of news, features and interviews all delivered in an informative but fun style that even beginners will find easy to follow.

Great stuff chaps!

Superbly informative Podcast that is both captivating and entertaining. Pitched at just the right level, to include some serious science, but in a fun way. Essential listening!! Keep up the good work.

This pod cast is worth waiting for every month I enjoy listening and being give an idea of what to look out for this pod cast gives you all the information and facts that you will ever need

Woohoo defo worth a look x

Great Podcast well worth a listen for any amateur astronomer, lots of news and great discussions. Lay off the invasion and Mars stuff though! I like the astrology joke!
