Hi Friends,
New episode just released on the Cosmic Background of Hercules! Here are some of the sources we mentioned in the episode:
With Love, Kit & jordan Hi Friends,
I'm sorry to say there will be no episode this week. The episode has been recorded, but the computer we use for editing decided to go on vacation early. We're working on fixing the computer, and we plan to use some of our upcoming vacation time to get ahead on our recording to avoid this in the future. We appreciate your patience and understanding. In the meantime, since we can't release our episode this week, we want to let you know what's coming next week. We'll be doing a review (and ret-cons, of course) of the pilot episode of Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda -- a space opera that aired from 2000 to 2005. And, yeah, we had *thoughts* a lot of them. So, if you want to prepare for this next episode, the pilot tiled "Under the Night," is available for free (with ads) on various streaming platforms (YouTube, PlutoTv, Tubi, and Amazon). We apologize again for the delay, and we thank you for continuing to support and listen to the pod! With love, Kit & Jordan Hi Friends,
Here are two of the outside sources we mentioned in today's episode!
With Love, Kit & Jordan Hi Friends,
Our episode on the astronomy of the constellation Andromeda is now available! As mentioned in the episode, there is a lot of info out there on our galactic neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy, so if you want to deep-dive here are some more sources we enjoyed:
Also, an audio note, the first minute or so of this episode Jordan sounds like she's underwater... was she underwater? UNCLEAR. It does clear up after the 1-2 min mark, and we appreciate your understanding that we're definitely (obviously?) not audio engineering/production experts. We'll keep trying our best to prevent such snafus :) With love, Kit & Jordan Hi Friends,
Our Asterism episode on the Nereids in mythology and astronomy is now live! Here is a link to the family tree of the Greek Gods we mentioned in the episode:
Hope you enjoy the Nep-toots pun as much as I did! With love, Kit and Jordan Hi Friends!
Our episodes on the constellation Cassiopeia will be releasing every Saturday beginning... RIGHT NOW! Woohoo! Here is a link to Judy Volker's (who Kit accidently called "Jody") website with lots of additional myths about the constellation Cassiopeia (which we'll discuss in the second episode on Cassiopeia):

At long last, the long promised Asterisms episodes have begun! In this episode, we briefly discuss Annie Jump Cannon (though we some how forgot to note how badass her name was) and spectral types. Here are some other places to learn about Annie Jump Cannon's life:

It's been a minute, so I wanted to write a quick update! Back in the spring, Jordan and I had a meeting (whilst sitting poolside at a Theme Park hotel) and decided on our Season 2 line-up and theme. Drumroll, please -- our season 2 theme will be QUESTS & CURSES. We had wanted to start releasing in June, but life happened. Also, we're going to be switching up our release schedule and format. Here's a run down for Season 2:
We've been recording and banking episodes so that we can release on a consistent schedule, which took a little time. But, I am happy to announce we'll be returning with Season 2 on August 5th! In the meantime, we hope you'll tell a friend about season 1.

The final episode of Season 1: The Zodiac will be posted soon. We had a blast with this one, and hope you'll enjoy it.
