In this episode, Shashank, Cole and Cormac take a look at the periodic side of time-domain astronomy through the famed, fabled Fourier transform. Cole entreats us to the time lags in blazars and Cormac gives us a weather update on a brown dwarf. Alon... more
In this episode, we take a break from our usual astronomical antics to reflect on sustainability in the cosmos. Cormac, Cole and Shashank explore how the Universe manages to recycle material across all scales, from pepping up prostrated pulsars to cl... more
We’ve known about the existence of galaxies for about a hundred years, but how well do we actually know the extragalactic universe? In today’s episode, we dive deep on the earliest galaxies in the universe. Sanika covers her first bite on paradoxical... more
In this episode, we dive into the ripples of spacetime with a special focus on gravitational waves. Cole and Cormac are joined by a new host, Sanika, who introduces her research in gravitational wave astrophysics and sets the stage for the discussion... more

I really enjoy this show—it’s insightful and engaging. However, the dynamic is disrupted by one particularly loud and overly talkative American male host. His tendency to dominate the conversation can make it difficult to hear and appreciate the perspectives of the other educated hosts. A more balanced discussion would make the show even better.
Fabulous podcast!
Nice summaries of recent papers. Good supplement to the web site.
Easily digestible bits of knowledge around various astrophysical and cosmological topics. Fun to listen to and perfect length. I also really enjoy the hosts—a group of enthusiastic grad students who bring a lot of (sometimes eye-rolling) humor to their topics. Keep up the great work!

Three astronomy graduate students host a tight-knit discussions-driven show that breaks down current research papers across subfields. Episodes typically feature three bite-sized conversations per topic, covering time-domain astronomy, gravitational waves, disk physics, galaxy formation, and more, with practical notes on instrumentation, data analysis, and observational challenges. The format blends clear explanations, humor, and personal anecdotes to make advanced topics approachable for fellow grad students and curious science fans. A standout aspect is the educational, multi-paper format delivered by a consistent trio, often linking theory to upcoming facilities and surveys while keeping the pace lively and accessible for a broad audienc... more
