Astronomy Cast humbly claims to take its listeners on a fact based journey through the cosmos. Astronomy is no longer just pointing a telescope at the sky and making observations. All of our ‘earthly’ sciences have a sister science in space The weekly podcast covers a wide range of astronomy topics using a format where an avid astronomy lover is able to explore the universe and our knowledge of it by asking questions and interacting directly with an astronomer.

The show is co-hosted by Fraser Cain, who publishes the site Universe Today, and Dr. Pamela L. Gay, a professor (SIUE) and blogger. The interaction between the enthusiast and scientist can not only hold the listeners attention but will entertain and educate the listener as the hosts share their passion for all things astronomical.

The show began in September 2006, and appears to not have missed a single weekly issue. It is worth going back and listening to back issues on the archives page if you get a chance.
