Podcast Recommendations



I have been listening to a couple of good podcasts lately.  I figured I'd share, in case you were looking to be informed and entertained regarding science and/or Austin history:

  • Star Talk:  Neil DeGrasse Tyson and rotating co-hosts discuss scientific concepts in a humorous  way.  I've already learned a lot about volcanoes and black holes.  If you are coming to my next trivia night, it's possible I've pulled some questions from this podcast.  
  • Austin Found: If you want to know more about Austin history and culture, then tune in to this one.  Long time Austin American-Statesman journalist Micheal Barnes and Austin radio personality J.B. Hegar are the hosts.   I think of myself as reasonably knowledgable about Austin history, but I've found out lots of interesting and hitherto unknown to me information from these podcasts.  

And here's a fun fact:  Neil deGrasse Tyson has an M.A. in astronomy from U.T.-Austin.  Hook 'em!
