Excellent Podcast for any budding astronomer

[Rokketboy]

Hey all,
Just wanted to let everyone know there is a great podcast on all things astronomy.
Its called Astronomy Cast http://www.astronomycast.com/
I would imagine quite a few people on this forum already know about it, I only found it about a month ago and is fantastic.
They do a different subject each week, ranging from:
Getting started in amateur astronomy
Individual episodes on all the planets and their moons
Globular Clusters
Quasars
Black holes (awesome/amazing theories and info - loved this episode)
Radio Astronomy
Infrared Atronomy

They are up to episode 130 odd so there is a heap of info. Just a fantastic and very educational. It would be great for senior high school students I reckon.
It's worth a listen if you even have a passing interest in Astronomy and if you are into astronomy (like all of us here) then its fantastic. Highly recommended.

Yeah, this is a great show. I've been listening since the beginning and Fraser and Dr. Pamela Gay do an excellenct job of simplifying the topics for the listener. I have them all on mp3 and I occasionally listen to repeats on my iPod. The question shows are also good.

I was looking at this site yesterday, and thinking I should put the link up for people to have a look.
I had been on that oneminuteastronomer.com site and they had a link to it.
Some great topics though yet to watch any.
Thanks Jared :)

There's a bunch of great astronomy podcast links at http://www.iceinspace.com.au/podcasts.html

I agree that AstronomyCast, along with Astronomy 161 and 162 are just brilliant for those that want to learn more.

ooooooo...... thanks mike, more stuff to listen to:) Makes the day go much quicker when I can listen to podcasts all day while swinging around the chainsaw/brush-cutter etc.:thumbsup:

the ABC radio national science show, while clearly not strictly about astronomy, is really good and does cover some astro stuff :)

What about podcasts for amateur astronomy? Things like equipment reviews, viewing and astro-photography hints etc.

Anyone come across anything like that?

Cheers

I like the monthly Astronomy-a-Go-Go at http://astronomy.libsyn.com/

Alice has a nice, relaxed approach. It's Northern hemisphere based, but nice to listen to on the hike home.
