  • Simply the best visual astronomy podcast

    For visual astronomy, these two are the best, bar none. It’s very much a fly on the wall experience listening in to a couple of very active and experienced observers. While the show does have structure, for me the nuggets of gold are often the tangents when two friends seem to forget the they’re recording and just casually discuss their impressions and personal opinions on eyepieces, scopes, mounts, books and other gear.

  • Best podcast for amateur astronomers

    One of the very few astronomy podcasts that deals with actually going out into your yard and looking at the stars and planets.

  • Best visual astronomy podcast out there!

    Actual Astronomy is by far the best podcast out there for visual observers. I came to the hobby in 2020 as an absolute novice and Chris and Shane have taught be basically everything I know. I know for sure I would not have gotten such enjoyment out the hobby without their advice and guidance. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!
