Pale Blue Pod is an astronomy podcast for people who are overwhelmed by the universe but want to be its friend. Astrophysicist Dr. Moiya McTier and comedian Corinne Caputo demystify space one topic at a time with open eyes, open arms, and open mouths (from so much laughing and jaw-dropping).

Is this Moose? Gumshoes and Dragons??
To be fair, I only made it through the first episode, so it's probably a better podcast now than what I listened to. But it has the two-friends-just-talking format that I don't like, and episode 1 is very, very, very giggly. Some people love this format, but to me it wastes too much time that we could be using to talk about science. It's just not my vibe.
I was hoping to learn things I did not know about space physics etc but to get to anything interesting one has to endure ages of meaningless conversation between host and guest about nothing of any consequence.
I could listen to Moiya McTier all day. And Corinne Caputo makes an excellent Watson to Moiya’s Sherlock Holmes. Together the two of them present a variety of topics on the Universe, cosmology, planetology, and the history of science in a very humanities-friendly manner. As a working scientist and science communicator, I love watching them in action and get something out of every episode. I can count on Pale Blue Pod to provide an unfailingly chill, calming touch to my often crazy work days.
Had to unsubscribe on principle, both hosts would go with bear alone in the woods. Social media has rotted away ninety percent of the population’s brains. Just remember, when people overwhelmingly choose to reproduce with liars and criminals, usually multiple individuals, than good people will be bred out of existence. Who is to blame for that?

Two hosts with a warm, approachable style explore space topics through accessible, human-centered conversations. Episodes mix rigorous science—from exoplanet atmospheres to the history of astronomy—with humor, personal anecdotes, and in-the-weeds nerdy detail. The show often features a humanities-friendly lens on complex cosmic ideas, inviting curious listeners to feel both informed and at home in the universe. A standout vibe is the cozy, varied settings and a tone that combines laughter with science, making esoteric topics feel relatable and inviting for a broad audience.
