I love both of these individuals separately; but to have them both on PODCAST is a dream come true!! I enjoy their content, they have both educated and illuminated my mind, and genuinely want to stop and think “Okay, I need to hear what they have to say because they are going to teach me something!”. Loved the first episode, can’t wait for the second, looking forward to the third, and anticipating the rest of the show!
I’ve followed these two scicomm ladies for a bit and totally love their succinct, easy to digest, and entertaining way they disseminate science info.
I’m so stoked they’ve paired up for this podcast! Two of my favorite science communicators in long format!

Two science-and-STEM-focused hosts bring approachable, down-to-earth conversations about space, physics, astronomy, and broader science topics. Episodes blend personal anecdotes, pop culture references, and thoughtful commentary on representation, science communication, and the role of women in STEM. The format is casual and nerdy, often featuring big-picture debates (space policy, AI, climate and future tech) with a strong emphasis on making complex topics accessible and entertaining for a broad audience. Notable strengths include strong host chemistry, a balance of humor and rigor, and a spotlight on underrepresented voices in science and space content.
Potential listeners are likely drawn to accessible science explanations, space and te... more
