This is an easy listening astronomy podcast that talks about much of the stuff we see in game and puts it in a wider context. Kind of like Power Play, but for explorers


It's fun to listen to while you are out scanning these objects in the deep black. If you go to gamer or sci-fi conventions, you might even recognize the Astrophysicist Pamela Gay, who is a frequent panelist at places like Dragon Con. Great voice. They have hundreds of episodes over the last 7 years, but here are few that are very game related...
