I was on Science Friday!
I got to talk about DIY radio astronomy projects in relation to the Perseid meteor shower on the August 8, 2014, episode of Science Friday. Listen to the archive or read the accompanying post about it.
Learning Space
For several years, I co-hosted Learning Space, a weekly Hangout on Air about topics in astronomy education, outreach, and other ways to share science. It includes interviews, hands-on demonstrations, lists of our favorite resources and more.
Learning Space broadcasts are on YouTube. Visit the website for a video archive of past episodes. The audio version of the podcast is available on the 365 Days of Astronomy Podcast.
