As the "nation's expert on space," Neil deGrasse Tyson is well-known for his best-selling books and his role as host of NOVA ScienceNOW. Yet he is also the host of StarTalk, a commercial radio program that "bridges the intersection between Pop Culture and Science with clarity, humor, and passion." The radio show is currently in its sixth season and episodes, which run just short of an hour, have ranged from rocket science to pseudoscience to gravity. Tyson is accompanied each week by a range of co-hosts and special guests that have included Richard Dawkins, Ann Druyan, and Eugene Mirman among others. It's easy to get hooked on these fascinating explorations into the universe, and readers will be happy to note that podcasts of each episode are available for free on the website as well as on iTunes.
