An astronomy podcast for people who are overwhelmed by the universe, but want to be its friend :)

Astrophysicist Dr. Moiya McTier and comedian Corinne Caputo (me!) demystify space one topic at a time with open eyes, open arms, and open mouths (from so much laughing and jaw-dropping). By the end of each episode, the cosmos will feel a little less “ahhh too scary” and a lot more “ohhh, so cool!

New episodes every Monday. Support us on Patreon here.

 

“…No star stuff has been as auditorily compelling as the new “Pale Blue Pod,” a show that attempts to make complex conversations about the universe feel intimate, emotional, and profound. In it, the comedian Corinne Caputo turns to the astrophysicist Moiya McTier with her most pressing questions about comets and planets; no question is too big or too small. What you get is an honest, clear-eyed, funny, smart exchange about how eclipses work, or what the big-bang theory is all about. The show’s tagline says that it’s “for people who are overwhelmed by the universe, but want to be its friend,” and even just a few episodes in you feel that Caputo and McTier are here to gently take your hand and guide you across the constellations.
