About Us

Pale Blue Pod is an astronomy podcast for people who are overwhelmed by the universe but want to be its friend.

By the end of each episode, the cosmos will feel a little less “ahhh too scary” and a lot more “ohhh, so cool!” New episodes every Monday.

Pale Blue Pod is a member of the Multitude Collective.

Moiya and comedian Christian Royce review and rate the movie Interstellar. Moiya shares a supremely mundane story about the movie's science advisor Kip Thorne.

Hi, I'm trying something new! I've had a hard time getting my mind quiet lately, especially when I try to go to sleep. I figured maybe some of you are experiencing that, too, and I wanted to try to help. PBP at Night is a calm, soothing 30 minutes of me reading out loud very slowly. It might not be for you, but I hope it's for someone.

If you do like it and you want more, it will be available to my patrons at patreon.com/palebluepod

If you don't want more of this, but you want to read my dissertation at a normal pace, you can find it here.
