Welcome to the 33rd episode of the Urban Astronomer Podcast. This is a special release, featuring an interview that I recorded for ScopeX, the biggest astronomy and telescope event in South Africa.

Portrait of Nicole Gugliucci

Welcome to the 32nd episode of the Urban Astronomer Podcast. This episode features an interview with Dr Nicole Gugliucci, whom long time listeners of astronomy podcasts should recognise from her work with Cosmoquest, and her many appearances on various shows in the 365 Days of Astronomy Podcast. This is quite a long-running interview, so we didn’t have time to include the next segment of our supernova story. We’ll pick that up next week instead, with the thrilling tale of what … Continue reading →

Welcome to Episode 28 of the Urban Astronomer Podcast.  This episode features an interview with Dr Stella Kafka, current director of the AAVSO (American Association of Variable Star Observers).  I met Dr Kafka at the 2018 Symposium of the Astronomical Society of South Africa, where she delivered several excellent talks on the AAVSO and citizen science. I was so impressed by what she had to say that I just had to invite her onto the show.  Amazingly, she beat me … Continue reading →
