This was really good, especially Nick's Kitbits section. The portable auto-guiding solution is genius

Anyone who is into podcasts should give this a go

Are you on iTunes Richie? That's a nice easy way to get new episodes for Apple users and will make it available to more listeners, I do astro related searches on iTunes and through that I've found loads of interesting stuff

[RichieJarvis]

Thanks Euan - Glad you enjoyed it

We are not on iTunes - I did have a quick scout around a few weeks ago to see how to get on the hallowed iTunes podcast list, but haven't found anything yet. Anyone else know how to do it?

Cheers,

Richie

Thanks for putting this together. Just listened to the 1st episode and it is great. Episode 2 downloading as I type.

You have to submit to iTunes and wait to see whether they accept it. More here: Apple - iTunes - Podcasts - Making a Podcast

Thanks folks.... and thanks for the iTunes link - I'll have to sort that out methinks!

Next episode is looking pretty good as well - Dr Emily Baldwin has done a good interview, and I'll be speaking to Nick Smith tomorrow (hopefully!) - The subject is the Moon....

Cheers,

Richie
