Great resource to hear whats going on in the night sky.
I'm a new listener and heard about ALPO from Tim Robertson giving a presentation at our local virtual astronomy club meeting.
Great Podcast!!
Hands down...my favorite. Always interesting, I love listening to the guests give their backgrounds in astronomy. Keep up the great work!
Great podcast for the beginner or professional
The Observer Notebook podcast mixes current astronomical events with learning observing techniques for astronomy.
The host is funny and always asks the questions I would have asked.
