    A delightfully different sort of astronomy podcast
    I’m a big fan of the Jodcast, so I was excited to see that one of the presenters started his own podcast that takes things in a different - but still very fun and informative - direction. I love the idea of doing a deep dive into one particular astronomical object per episode; it’s like browsing the astronomy articles on Wikipedia but way better. Each episode is thoroughly researched and up-to-date, with a healthy dose of humor, and they’re the perfect length for timing my workouts around. I appreciate that for the most part it’s family-friendly, but there was one episode that was inappropriate that I didn’t appreciate. Other than that it’s a great podcast, and I’m looking forward to more in the future! There are plenty more unexplored coordinates to go. :)
