Reviews

4.4 out of 5 stars from 148 ratings
  • Sadly Political

    Wanted to like this show, but it has significant political overtones that distract. The recent episode about SpaceX permits is hardly journalism, but becomes weirdly emotional and strident against SpaceX and Elon Musk. Smart on their part to get more funding from the left side culture warriors, but sad for those looking for straight forward space and astronomy news.

  • Love the show but fix the audio levels

    I love science podcasts and I have been listening to all of Dr Pamala Gay’s fantastic work for years. From the very beginning of Astronomy Cast I’ve been hooked. Lately I’ve noticed that this show needs to up the audio levels on Pamela’s voice. Every time the commercials come on I wince from how loud it gets because I have to turn it up high to hear Pamela. 6 stars if you fix that problem. Otherwise I love the show.

  • Raise the speakers’ audio

    While I love the content, the audio levels are frustrating. (Hand-on-forehead).

    When mixing in the speakers’ audio, please raise speakers’ volume. If you compare it to other podcasts audio levels, speaker audio is very, very low. Audio level of intro music and other fill/transitions is ok. But audio of those speaking is barely audible.

    When listening to multiple podcasts and arriving at this one, after the intro in this podcast, I have to increase the volume by 1/3 to hear the speaker’s voice,... more

  • Blaring Commercial!!!

    Absolutely love this podcast but the speaking is so low and then commercials blast out my ear! I don’t want to drop it from my playlist but will be forced to if this isn’t corrected. I understand the need for a sponsor but please even out the volume.

  • Great podcast

    This is a great informative podcast. Unfortunately it is let down by very low audio level so the volume has to be push up to maximum, but then when adverts play they are way too loud. I hope this gets resolved soon. Would have given it 5 stars but right now this issue ruins it.
