Hi All,

Hi Neil,

Have you tried 'Astronomy Cast' before? They have around 150 episodes now, all around 35 minutes long. Fantastic listening! I listen to one every evening, and usually tailor it to what I have recently observed. A few nights ago I listened to the one on globular clusters Here's their website

Hi Amanda,

Just looked at the website, excellent! Thanks for that lots of different subjects as well. If you find any more could you let me know?

No problem Neil - be sure to check out the Question Shows too, I skipped over them thinking they might be a little rubbish, but alot of the time the questions listeners write in with are questions that I have thought about too! Hope you enjoy it.

dont forget 365 Days of Astronomy the casts are only ten mins but they do a weekly collection version as well that lasts about an hour, its a rather varied selection of topics and pretty lightweight as a lot are done by amateurs but they pass the time in work for me

I listen to the " the Skeptics Guide to the Universe", while not strictly a Astro pod cast (its more general science) its it does discuss astro related topics now and again.
