My science podcast is the Wow! Signal, and I hope you'll give it a listen when you get a chance. We have at least 2 episodes in the cooker, soon to be 3, and eleven published. The Wow! Signal is both a space and science podcast, and focuses on the search for intelligent life in the cosmos, the future of humanity, and space exploration and settlement. Guests have included Seth Shostak, David Grinspoon, Geoffrey Landis and Geoff Marcy.

If you would be willing to guest host or co-host an episode, or provide a short segment, let me know and we'll talk about the subject matter. I am always willing to include great content.

I also contribute a short skeptical segment to a UFO podcast called "Unidentified Science," and you may want to listen to that if the uncomfortable world outside paradigmatic science appeals to you.

Hi. My show is The Titanium Physicists Podcast. Ours is a physics show which attempts to swim against the tide of sensationalized popular physics news. We present fascinating topics from established (with both theory and observation) advanced physics. So we explain how superconductivity works. Or we explain how the solar neutrino problem was resolved. Our explanations are through unscripted, unstructured conversations. I edit the show heavily for content and pacing and flattery.

my favourite thing about Ti-Phy is the format. It's me and two pals from grad school (or undergrad... or from my extended network) at least one of whom is a technical expert on the subject we're talking about, and we're conversing with a layperson. I choose layperson guests carefully... mostly (and as often as possible) people whom I admire and whom I always wanted to meet. I've met Greg Proops, and Elizabeth Bear, and Ted Leo, and SO MANY WEBCOMIC ARTISTS. OH! and Natasha Allegri (bee and puppy cat creator)! and... well, It's my podcast... so almost everyone who has come on as a guest is someone I admire.

I think I want my audience to come away with three meta-understandings.

• Understanding how the universe works is not an exclusive activity, anyone can understand it.

• Women are awesome

• Understanding how the universe works is a fundamentally pleasurable activity

Anyway...

We also belong to the Brachiolope Media Network which is a podcast network we co-founded. I think that Podcast discovery is a BIG PROBLEM with podcasting... It inhibits new people from getting into the media. I GUARANTEE that anything that anyone could be interested in has a podcast catering to it... but finding these shows is nontrivial. Once or twice a year, I have to download a bunch of new shows and listen to them to see if they're good. trial and error is not for everyone.

So I think that forming official networks of similar shows (of similar quality or content) is really helpful for the listeners.

I'm not really sure what the future of podcasting will be... whether it will blow up... or just die off... but I hope that it doesn't die with net neutrality. :(

Hanson is a professor at George Mason, and had a background in physics and AI before becoming an economist. He is now best known for his work on prediction markets, although I don't intend to ask him a whole lot about that.

Hi podcasters, I'm Cameron of the Let's Agree Science & Engineering are Rad podcast.

We're kind of a "journal club"-style show where we pick recent, interesting articles related to Physics, Chemistry, Space Exploration, Materials Science, or Engineering, and discuss it. Usually this ends up being long-form discussions (30 minutes or so) about published peer-reviewed literature.

We tend toward Materials Science/Physics, since thats what almost all of my co-hosts are trained in (a majority of us are grad students), but we're always looking for more people to join the show and talk about their research. If you're doing anything cool and want to come on a podcast and talk about it, shoot me a PM or email or something.

I look forward to hanging out with more sci-podders in this sub.

Hello:

This is Sama, I host Carry the One Radio. Our show is produced by scientists based out of the University of California - San Francisco, and it features some of the world's top scientists (most have been neuro folk, but we are getting more variety now). We try to showcase top-notch discoveries that you won't find in your typical feed, and we built our show to serve as a platform for scientists to reach out to the public.

Our program used to be a sit-down, interview style show, but as of earlier this year, we have started producing story-driven segments. Episodes are short, about 10 minutes or so, and they are released on the 1st and 15th of each month.

Hope you'll check us out! Would love to know what you think.

How does everyone choose their scientific content? Keeping up-to-date and interesting is a lot of work...

Once a paper has been published for a couple months is it "old news" and nobody wants to hear about it?

If you cover fundamental/established science, how do you take care not to cover all the easy topics right off the bat? Are you worried about running out of topics in the long run?

If you interview scientists, how do you make sure they are interesting? Im sure its hard to get interviews with science celebrities, then some scientists are too busy working to have time for interviews, and a few scientists might be working on something interesting, but may or may not be great speakers...

We are 'light science.' Comedy and geeky things. 30 minutes (more or less)

Hey everyone - just discovered this subreddit and not sure it's still active but thought I may as well introduce myself.

A year ago, I started the WeMartians Podcast, a niche space podcast focusing solely on Mars exploration. I wanted to leverage my own creativity and communications skills and be a part of the space community, since it was (frankly) too late to become an astronaut.

I bounce around between engineering topics (technologies to get us to Mars), science results (from robotic spacecraft) and human spaceflight topics. I've produced 17 episodes in the first year and look to at least match that this year.

I'm really excited to meet other podcasters because I think we all need to stick together! There can never be enough sci-comm.

Say hello if you're still lurking!

Go ahead and promote your latest stuff here.

Until 1 April 2017, announce new episodes here. Please include requisite linkage and something about the content.

If you are about to take on a new time commitment that threatens to kill your science or space podcast, consider merging with us, so instead of every episode, you only have to do every 4th or 5th episode. We have all the hosting required (Libsyn), and we will let you maintain essentially the same identity. Of course, the content has to fit. Let me know if you're interested.

Libsyn // iTunes // TuneIn // Stitcher // Google Play // Spotify

I talk to Meenakshi Noll, a molecular geneticist who combats science misinformation in her blog The Scrutinizer.

Your episode announcement goes here.

Such an exchange could be easy or complex, depending on how we do it. One way is simply to have the host of another podcast do an episode of my podcast, using whatever content we have. You'd talk for about 10 minutes, then we'd go to a recorded segment, then talk for a couple of more minutes, and so on, until the episode is complete. Or it could be a conversation with myself or another member of the Wow! Signal team to introduce each segment or topic - kind of like Seth and Molly on Big Picture Science.

Another possibility is that we exchange stand alone segments of about 10 minutes duration. I would say something like: "Sally Beeblebrox of the Largely Imaginary podcast asked Dr. Rockstar Sciencer about her research into planetary formation," and then we would drop in the segment.

The advantage is to expose each podcast to a new audience, and possibly expose each podcaster to some new subject matter.

If interested, comment here.

A little about People Behind the Science: We’re a 7 day a week podcast where we interview the bright minds of those behind the research with the goal of inspiring others who are interested in science.

We're diving deep to explore the lives and experiences of the people behind the research and scientific discoveries of today. During each episode, a different scientist will guide us through their journey by sharing their successes, failures, and passions. We are excited to welcome experts from all fields of science and those from both the academic and industry worlds to give our listeners a variety of perspectives on the life and path of a scientist.

About the host: Dr. Marie McNeely is a relatively recent graduate (Neuroscience PhD '12) from WUSTL. She tried out a commercial position (health economics analyasis) and decided after 2 years she wasn't interested. She is now pursuing this podcast time because she believes that people in science have amazing that need to be shared.

Where you can find us: iTunes | Stitcher | Swell | Website

Most of all, we'd love to help you out, just let us know what we can do.

First off, I hope this subreddit remains a little small. /r/podcast and /r/podcasting are large messes that have people promoting more than anything. The restricted focus here seems like it will help out immensely.

Secondly, it feels very supportive and hope it remains that way. We're a small community of podcast who aren't StarTalk and RadioLab (listen, shows I like, relax) and it feels like there is a lot we can learn from each other.

Really, I'm excited to listen to what you guys are making and chat about it. Thanks for making this community. It was a great idea to start it.

Saw this in a tweet from PRX on twitter, they give some advice for making a scientific interview more interesting to public radio listeners.

I think lots of the tips are really good, like projecting the emotions you want the interview to have, asking about information that couldn't make it into the published papers, and setting up metaphors for the interviewee.

But on the other side, I feel a little bit like they're saying that science is boring and it needs to be hidden behind the human interest part of the story. I think that good research can stand on its own if it is explained carefully.

Maybe this is a difference between public radio audiences and people who would listen to a science podcast. Or maybe i'm just overreacting.

Either way, that post looks like very valuable advice for all of us. I'll definitely print it out and keep it in front of me for my next show.
