    over your head
    stick to what you know, go to behind the black website to get the real story
  • cantonbird
    Intro music
    Banging pots and pans would be better than the intro music. Wow that hurts my head. How hard would it be to record a new intro? 😑
  • Surgonc
    Enjoyable
    Short and educational. My favorite astronomy podcast.
  • Lunodie
    New host please
    For whatever reason I can’t get past the host’s voice. The cadence, affect, forced sultriness. It’s science news, not a dramatized audio book. Would rather hear a computer read this stuff out.
  • Sweatshoptool
    Politics in science is such a turn off
    Please stick to science. If I want politics I would be listening to a political podcast. Good bye
  • Exercising again
    Bro
    Highly gendered with gratuitous remarks about Scarlett Johansson, masculine guitar, and seemingly no female voices. Women scientists are sick sick sick of being held back by this kind of cluelessness.
  • 69fasyy
    This is my happy place
    I take great joy in this podcast! Don’t ever change the music! Nature is metal! Shred the galaxy to infinity and beyond!
  • literate larry
    Rockin
    Love the intro/outro! Love the podcast! A must.
  • Astrodoc71
    Very good except Intro and exit music
    Main thing is the content which is very good, covers everything from the more complex theoretical physics to basic observational astronomy and everything in between. Sometimes a little too political but overall good. Major issue is the intro and exit music which is a disaster. It's a disturbing and discordant load of crap that must be changed.......PLEASE!
  • BlkWhiteFilmPix
    Awful music
    Great content, but please change what others described ad awful music. They’re right. It hurts my ears. And it’s probably driving listeners away. Please start with more peaceful and less loud music. Thank you.
  • T-cat 14
    Intro music
    I fully ageee with Cantonbird…the introduction music is awful…it really does hurt my ears…it even scares my cats…I love the contents of the podcast, but hate the noise/music
  • K9Rush
    What happened?
    This used to come out daily but now it’s been over a week did something change? Great podcast I miss it much
  • MKULTRA83
    Intro music
    Great podcast but please change intro music to something less caustic and it would be 5 stars
  • Sinai.Coons
    Best.
    I listen to them every night, best lucid dreams! (I’m still working on the wording!)
  • Jon Gross
    Love the shows, please remove the loud guitar
    I listen to this nearly every night. My favorite podcast by far. Great set of hosts and shows rotating through. However, I absolutely hate the intro/outro. It’s like it’s included just to wake me back up or make my wife mad. Please replace it with something more relaxed.
  • TadSexy
    Great Podcast
    A free thinking man🤔with a Curious mind? A must in my life?
  • #10 more after the last 10
    Like NASA
    As NASA should, I hope they stick to space and leave the climate alone. Awesome Podcast though...
  • Ziggy911
    Good podcast but lose the guitar solo intro
    I like to listen to the 365 podcast when I go to bed or during a Sunday afternoon nap. I have one request, please change the intro/outro music (guitar riffs) to something a little quieter. While relaxing or dozing I’m suddenly shocked and awakened by the loud guitar riffs between shows. Maybe some atmospheric space music. I want to learn about astronomy not attend a Van Halen concert. Astronomy lends itself to a quieter, more introspective mind state. To begin and end the podcast with sudden, loud guitar riffs almost jolts me out of bed and is quite annoying. Otherwise I like the idea of a variety of podcasts like 365. It would be just about perfect if not for the loud music.
  • jacobgroce
    Decent pod
    Good content. Plz cut out the weird noises to bleep the curse words.

    More science, less conversation.
    Too much personal crap. More science,

    Thursday’s show was great. Thanks for the news !
  • Tropical Tom
    Cool! Love the intro and exit musical theme
    Awesome science podcast.
  • n878w
    Good
    It’s good but the intro music sounds worse than a chimpanzee playing a guitar.
  • MacLov'n
    Awesome!
    Great content, fun
  • MarkG342!
    Love the show
    Enjoy the show - love the science and the fun . PS - Jenny is the best looking one !!!!
  • fhjxhx
    Out of this world!
    I love this show!
  • John47511
    Love this show but....
    Hate the intro and outro music. It sounds like a heavy metal guitar got stuck in a blender. Put in some spacey atmospheric sounds instead. Wakes me up several times at night.
  • Kenpo74
    Intro music
    Great shows but please KILL that intro and closing music. It’s mood, and especially its sound, do NOTHING to attract and keep me as a listener; more often, I turn the volume down during the opening and then delete the entire show as the closing tune starts.
  • Gandalf the Alien Grey
    Nice Concept
    This podcast brings you episodes from a variety of astronomy podcasts, some of which are hard to find if you don't already know about them. They vary in quality, but there are a lot of great ones.
  • Till wully
    Intro music bad
    I suggest making the intro song Astrothunder by Travis Scott
  • Circular2023
    The intro music is terrible
    It’s good to get astronomy podcasts but the intro crazy guitar solo is terrible. It is a horrible piece of music. Almost anything would be better.
  • JamesWebbFan01
    Less politics and more astronomy.
    Episode 500 and others. Its unfortunate that this “ Astronomy podcast” doesnt focus more on astronomy & cosmology and less on politics. Never a shortage of partisan politics in media, not even on my beloved astronomy show. I guess its more of a platform to promote a silly political view and less for one promoting science and astronomy. It figures.....
  • not that doctor
    Mixed blessing
    366 days is a nice way to find good podcasts but is burdened with wat too much Paul Sutter. Dr. Sutter’s arrogant mocking of the decline of the once brilliant Stephan Hawking, his dismissive description of past Nobel prize winners and tendency to deride others work and constant solicitation / sales pitch for his latest trip is a bit too much. So, I suggest you do what I am doing today, listen for a month or two and then subscribe directly to the good shows and drop 365 days.
  • Jplatt-
    Great Astronomy Podcasts
    365 Days of Astronomy offers a great variety of podcasts from different people in Astronomy. A new one comes out everyday, and I listen to several every week. While some are better than others, I find this resource to be excellent most of the time!
  • Olivehead123
    Eclectic and Informative
    Astronomy 365 collects an impressive array of astronomy enthusiasts and professionals. If you're interested in astronomy at all, this is a great, accessible resource.
  • walkinginthemorning
    Thank you
    I'm a total space nerd, but I'm just a regular person- meaning I'm not an astro physicist, etc...so I really enjoy the "down to earth" life language and explanations. I love this podcast. Thank you!
  • Buddy89234
    LOVE the episodes on Solar Eclipses
    I'm slowly turning myself into an Astronomy freak especially with the upcoming 2017 total solar eclipse. The information in these podcasts by Lewin is informative and provides simple steps that I am taking to make sure that I make the most of this once in a lifetime opportunity. More importantly, he offers up tips on how to safely watch the eclipse, which is very important to me as the father to 2 young boys. Cheers to this Canadian-born, all-star of a "podcaster!"
  • Luling-TX
    good STUFF!
    KEEP IT UP!
  • FurStayn
    Great!
    I like this podcast!
  • Bamberg666
    Newbies welcome
    I'm new to astronomy, and love this podcast. The team always breaks tech heavy discussions down into chewable sizes for us newcomers. I'm learning so much, thank you!
  • KevinICdesigner
    Why no video?
    Often these are just the audio of an av presentation. Why not include the video where appropriate?
  • That'swhatIam
    I always learn something!
    Please don't have the Apogee Podcast on the show again. That guy is an awful podcaster. He might have the cure for cancer, but listening to him talk about it puts me right to sleep!
  • RhetoricCamel
    Love it
    Excellent podcasts with lots of great information. Highly recommended if you are interested in astronomy.
  • HelloKittyGirly
    Pure 💗💗💗
    Loved this the first year it began and followed faithfully, even almost crying when I thought it wouldn't continue, and love it even more now that it's still going!!!! You guys are great thank you for sparking a deep down hidden love for all things astrophysic/astronomy! 🎧🌙✨🚀👍
  • JohnBSandlin
    The most big bang for the buck podcast there is
    365 Days of Astronomy Pod Cast is an amazing effort by mostly volunteers. Every day you get a new 10 minute or so episode of astronomy related goodness. If I could give 365 ten stars I would. I love this show. You will to... maybe not every episode, but with a new show every day, you will love enough. Subscribe now. Go through and listen to the back catalog. You'll thank me later. It's good stuff Maynard. jbs
  • Willcorg
    Love It love It love It!!!
    Except teaching EVIL-ution is a fact and not a theory annoys me greatly! If it were a fact then there would be no debate. I wish these dogmatic scientists would realize this, they are no different than the Pope teaching hellfire and purgatory as fact. How could all these countless stars and galaxies be by an accident? That's like throwing a million numbered balls in the air and expecting that when they land they'll be in numerical order..... It'll never happen no matter how many times you try. It's like the house we live in, never in an infinite amount of time will all the materials needed to make one, fall together and make itself on it's own, it's against all logic. So why would the universe be any different? 90% of religionist make God look crazy and that's why people look for an excuse not to believe in a creator and I have to say I don't blame them. But keep looking and you'll find a group who makes him look like the loving awe inspiring creator that he is. The one that "causes to become"...
  • a skeptical listener
    Great shows (now with slimmed down theme song!)
    Still crazy good after all these years. Excellent variety, breadth and interesting POVs. Something new every day for 2.25 years and consistently high quality. (Maybe two clinkers in all that time!) And, while George Hrab's theme song was a hoot, I'm glad to have the trimmed down theme after listening to it some 700 times...Thanks for that.
  • Why????????????
    Well done
    Very enjoyable and highly recommended
  • Snerd
    Great
    If you like stars or astronomy then get it.
