This is episode five of this season of the Urban Astronomer Podcast. As usual, this being the 4th show of the month, we have an Interview episode today, and this is the one that gets us back to our scheduled order of things.

Unfortunately, I messed up somewhere and the recordings we’d made well in advance of the show were lost. … Continue reading →

Dr Wendy Williams

This is Episode 1 of our brand new second season! This is the 43rd episode since the podcast was first launched, back in February 2017, and I’m thrilled to be back on the air with you. The New Season We’re mostly keeping things the same, but there are some important changes. From the beginning, I’ve always been pretty disorganized in how I ran the show. There was no fixed schedule or plan, so I’d release episodes as they became available. … Continue reading →
