Hosted by Universe Today publisher Fraser Cain and astronomer Dr. Pamela L. Gay, Astronomy Cast is a weekly podcast that offers listeners "a fact-based journey through the cosmos." Each thirty minute episode features a different astronomy-themed topic via a lively conversation between Cain and Gay. Recent episode topics have included the Cassini mission and what scientists learned from it; an exploration of the dwarf planet Pluto; and the recent solar eclipse. Another more sobering episode describes the history of the Arecibo Observatory, which was damaged by Hurricane Maria. On this website, visitors can check out the final version of each podcast along with a longer, unedited version. Listeners can also subscribe to Astronomy Cast on iTunes, Android, Google Play, or RSS.
