Thanks Prof Poggee! Love your lectures. Finished grad school over a decade ago, but still love finding things like this to ignite my imagination. Now I wish I had been an astronomy major! Can’t thank you enough for putting all your lectures up. LIsten to them on the A Train in Manhattan on my way...Read full review »

Wow, what an amazing library of lectures by a great presenter. Expanding my hobbyist knowledge on the way to and from work, these podcasts are a treasure trove of cosmic info, Thanks Richard!

I listen to this every night to fall asleep. I listen to it 4/5 days a week while I work. I soooo wish there was more/updated content!!! Please make more :)

Please keep up the good work! Your skill to communicate difficult concepts with great clarity keeps me up half the night. But I am loving it. Prof Pogge, thank you to the stars and back again. From a high-tech writer Melbourne, Australia.

The Gold Standard of how to do an educational and interesting series of lectures. Should be compulsory listening!

Fantastic lecture series. The professor is highly knowledgeable, and imparts his knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject in these lectures. The sections on active galactic nuclei and supernovae were packed with information

You can tell this professor really loves this topics. Highly detailed, and well explained.

I love these lectures for non science majors. This is a wonderful example of the benefits of this technology and how it can let everyone access something formerly reserved to very small audiences. The instructor is great and has such a dry sense of humor.

The best and easiest to understand. Excellent presentation. More more more....
fixcated via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/05/19
These two series of podcasts on astronomy are content rich clearly delivered and worthy of the listening again and again. They are the best that I have ever heard on this topic. We are in a golden age of astronomy and cosmology.
Fred C Dobbs the elder via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/06/19
This is a stunningly interesting rare treat. Prof Pogge brings infectious enthusiasm to the greatest show on Earth. The universe. It is both revelation after revelation and mystery after mystery. In my experience it is unusual that somebody is both at the cutting edge of science and has flair...Read full review »

Listening while traveling, enjoyed every minute

Better than Game of thrones or any other form of entertainment. This is the class I wish I had had at college. Being is absolutely amazing and understanding a little more how we came about to be is just an incredible trip. Grateful to Ohio university and specially to Professor Richard Pogge....Read full review »

For anyone interested mr pogge also has a astronomy corse from Ohio U up there too with some good supplemental material. Don’t email him about it though. Lol
Veyh brah via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/01/17
These lectures are such eye openers. The knowledge base from which the information flows is truly astonishing. It’s fluent, fluid and told in a story fashion such that they captivate one. The magnitude of the subject matter coupled with the mind boggling facts and figures dwarf what we believe is...Read full review »

Awesome
kwen42 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/24/17
Engaging and informative. This podcast is simply excellent. Be sure to start at the beginning, because each lecture builds on previous concepts. The professor leads us on this journey like a veteran mountain guide, pointing out the things that still fascinate him. My life has definitely been...Read full review »

A great set of lectures for anyone interested.
Derrick_Fields via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/27/15
I do not have an Astronomy background. I am older (59+). I listen to these while I am driving, so my attention is divided to say the least. I am an experiential learner, so listening to a lecture is not the best way for me to learn. Despite all of the above, I have learned (and retain) much more...Read full review »
GregRobin Smith via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/04/14
Fascinating, informative and simply fun to listen to. You can learn an entire quarter of college astronomy while driving, jogging or sitting at your desk. Be sure to listen to Astronomy 161 first. It's just as good.Read full review »

The professor is an excellent teacher and manages to both inform and entertain
Chris Heisel via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/14
I first downloaded this course to my ipod 6 years ago and I still love to listen to it. The lecture series on the frontiers of astronomy is really interesting.
Probably_Irrelevant via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/08/13
I would enjoy listening to Richard speak about any astronomy related subject. He speaks with such elegance and high intelligence that even the most complicated topics and concepts are understandable. Thank you!!!
Zacktacular via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/27/12
Thanks again for another exceedingly good series of informative podcasts. Hope to hear more of your lectures in the future.
Aaronjw84 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/16/12
Really interesting, I would advise listening to astronomy 161 first to help with your base knowledge. Good for either a student or a layperson. Thanks Richard!
Munnyfunkster via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/24/12
A truly excellent set of lectures, delivered with real enthusiasm and great wit. It is really is a pleasure to listen to. I wish my undergraduate lectures had been like this. Thanks for sharing Richard.
WILLSI via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/08/12
I think the other reviews say it all. Richard is a passionate lecturer. He has a way of repeating concepts until it sinks in. And uses examples to make the enormity of the universe make sense. 'helium is stella ash'. Genius. Anyone with basic grasp of physics and an interest in the...Read full review »

I need my fix of your lectures.. I just love learning about the universe and you are brilliant at explaining it.. I ride to and from work everyday and this gets me through it.. Please do more!!

Very informative even if your mind works a bit harder with out the visual aids he references. I hop the Richard P reads this so he knows that his efforts are appreciated all the way down-under.
Luka Botic via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/16/11
"Now a lot can happen in that billion years..." Thrilling and mind-expanding educational series. I particularly enjoyed the lecture on supernovae. Richard conveys the (literally) astronomical facts and figures with a passion that leaves me blown away. The universe is really, really,...Read full review »

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour through the universe Peter Wellington NZ
Ware Armitage via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 10/05/10
This was great podcast for continuing to learn about Astronomy after Prof. Pogge's Astronomy 161 podcast. The subject matter is a little more complex to follow along with compared to the 161 podcast, but well worth it. Prof. Pogge jumps from Solar System Astronomy in 161 to the larger...Read full review »
PLNUPotter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/10
By far the best astronomy podcast available. Not just for undergrads but also suitable for casual/amateur astronomy enthusiasts. Agreed that some background research is needed to fill in the gaps from missing slides but I still highly recommend it. (a shame I didn't discover it earlier)....Read full review »

He lessens the boredom of walking to work everyday and helps me get to sleep!!
RoseyRoma via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/05/10
Richard Pogge is an amazing teacher! He brings astronomy to life. His podcasts are easy to listen to. I like it that Prof. Pogge does not slam any previous culture or astrology system when discussing them in reference to his subject. Slamming previous cultures and astrology seems to be a common...Read full review »

As a complete novice on all this i found it very informative and a real good listen some of the terms and phrases go in one ear and out the other but it really does help broaden the knowlege of whats out there and how it ticks more please

I'm about half way through these lectures and am finding them very enjoyable - looking forward to the rest then starting on 161, his related series. Highly recommended.Read full review »

I think that it is great that podcasts like this exist. A good, informative, educational podcast like this balances and fills a void that in the multitude of brainless podcasts out there. I've enjoyed this podcast, and it is great to have detailed information on Astronomy. I've also...Read full review »

These podcasts 161 & 162 can't be ignored by anyone who want's a lead into or is studying astronomy.

A surprisingly refreshing set of lectures delivered by (the very engaging) Professor Richard Pogge of Ohio State University. Make no mistake, these are undergraduate level lectures, delivered real time, and aimed at a reasonably educated audience. If you have not studied astronomy or physics...Read full review »

I found this lecture series to be fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed the podcasts. I began listening to the series thinking I already knew enough (I'm not an astronomer), and that what I did know must be current, and through listening I was rewarded with a greater depth of understanding, and a...Read full review »
