    Great Show
    Come on guys, do a better job of editing your listeners questions. Absolutely ridiculous. They go on for to long. Again… edit the listeners’ questions.
  • 20runningman
    Good but…
    In 2024 with new host drifts into politics too often. These quick, often snarky, comments are not why people listen, it alienates. Please stick to the cosmos.
  • Underus
    Casual and intelligence
    Agree about everything or not, these are average (and above average) Joe’s with a great format and understandable explanations for the Everyman. My #2 after Star Talk.
  • 16Briglou
    Good show
    Lots of interesting info.
  • Mordrake lives
    A favorite
    I really enjoy this podcast. Entertaining hosts, and you guys make it easy to learn new fascinating stuff about our galaxy and beyond for an average fellow like myself. I feel as though I’ve really found a gem here.

    This wondrous podcast reminds me of the news on my Grezianik-fouty back home. I miss home but, to my surprise, applying for a “green card” was simply a matter of admitting I arrived from Enceladus to which my caseworker said “No problem there!” The odd thing is, my card indicates that I’m a native of Spain. Hola!
  • Devil pony 123456

    Always Enjoy Space Nuts
    Andrew and Fred are wonderful to listen too. I never tire of This podcast. Thank you gentlemen. They are a perfect compliment to one another.
  • LordNikon78
    Too many adverts
    Good show but it loses my attention when 1/3 the time it’s a commercial or they are pushing gear or something. Just really really heavy amount compared to anything I’ve ever heard.
  • JordanP1413
    Absolutely Incredible!!
    One of the most informative and entertaining podcasts out there. Huge fans of Andrew & Professor Watson!! Keep up the great work gentlemen!!
  • JimS1951
    Space Nuts Great Podcast
    I am an astronomy buff and live Space Nuts. Andrew and Dr. Watson provide up to date info about astronomy and do it in a most entertaining way. Fun and informative podcast. Love it.
  • Cbagsxi
    Fun and intelligent
    This is quickly becoming my favorite podcast. There is always something interesting and the banter between Andrew and Fred is fun and light.
  • coloradox
    The condom ads have got to go….
    Look, I’m an advocate for safe sex, but the condom ads are really over the top. Kinda difficult to listen to the podcast with my kids now. The ads are also about 8db louder than the show. This is the best podcast being produced right now, but these ads are terrible…..
  • Mr. Dextrose
    Reign in the Callers
    I found this podcast several years ago when Star Stuff kept sampling segments to pad his podcasts. It is a great source of information for laymen and the hosts are amiable and often self-deprecating. I like that they take questions from the audience and tolerate that they have audio questions from listeners. But that’s also a weakness. Many of the questioners go on and on often trying to show they have some level of knowledge. Indeed, one regular caller was actually allowed to co-host and he prattled on so much I dumped the episode. The only time I have done that. So to get that 5th star, be a bit more discerning about listeners’ queries.

  • Assertedcobra61
    SWEET!!!! I got some good ideas for the future
    I have been listening to this podcast for a long time, and I have learned a lot more about the observable universe and the non observable universe. Maybe, for future episodes, look into Alpha Centauri. Very cool.
  • VSAT MAN

    Good show
    I like the conversational format and the current space topics. The Facebook page drifts into other topics but I resolved that and other Facebook issues by closing my account.
  • TheGoonShow
    Good Show
    There is something about "down under" podcasts that make them enjoyable.
  • MichaelMcApple
    Quick, funny and informative
    Stuart Gary sent to this link, and glad he did. Always current topics. Fred is a knowledgeable guy who can make the complex simple enough so even I can understand it. I look forward to it each week, and it is just the right length for my commute. Well done.
