A Sky Full of Stars

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

Produced and hosted by Rob Keown & Tavi Greiner, A Sky Full of Stars podcasts feature fun interviews and slideshows, and occasional ambient music hours, all focused on the Cosmos.

A Sky Full of Stars’ special presentations are aired as new productions become available.  You can check the AFM*Radio schedule for regularly-updated broadcast times.

In addition to podcast features, the A Sky Full of Stars website includes regular astronomy/space articles and citizen science opportunities..

Two of our favorite productions, both of which originally aired on AFM*Radio, are Jen and Andy Scheer’s virtual tour of NASA’s Launchpad 39A and our interview with Geoffrey Notkin of the Science Channel’s Meteorite Men.  Tavi also recently served as a guest panelist for Talking Space’s fun interview with Mars Rover driver, Scott Maxwell.
