I really like the content, details and information about current missions and discoveries.
Unfortunately, it’s more often than not really difficult to listen to and follow due to low recording quality. I understand that not all guests have good equipment, but the hosts could maybe invest a little to improve quality. For starters, that‘s possible for well below 100 bucks. ;-)
Would love to hear and learn more on current SETI technical challenges or problems and solutions, thanks

This show surveys cutting-edge astronomy, planetary science, and SETI-related research through conversations with researchers, engineers, and artist-scientists. Episodes span exoplanet atmospheres, moon and planet formation, galaxy evolution, and citizen-science initiatives, often tying findings to upcoming missions (such as Artemis) and new data from space telescopes. A notable trait is the seamless blend of rigorous science with interdisciplinary guests—artists, poets, and communicators—creating unique angles on how we observe, model, and imagine life beyond Earth. Audio quality and guest accessibility are common discussion touchpoints, but the breadth of topics and hands-on science make it a compelling pick for listeners who want both de... more
