SUMMARY: I've been thinking of adding an audio component to Universe Today for several years now - I'm a huge fan of radio, especially science radio shows, so this was just inevitable. Many people have been nagging me to start up a Podcast, so I'm finally getting around to it. I've got a short audio interview I did today with Scott Gaudi at the Harvard Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics about Sedna's lack of a moon. This is just an experiment, but I aim to start running a more regular show in the coming weeks that gives you additional information to go along with the stories I cover in Universe Today. If you have any feedback or ideas, let me know.

Thanks!

Don't mean to burst your bubble but posting an mp3 file to be downloaded is not a podcast.

No, I'll need to put together the XML that people can use to subscribe to it. That and some witty banter about how beautiful the weather is here at the Cain cottage in Courtenay. I'll get around to that shortly, I just wanted to put together an example.

There, I think it's now a Podcast in the official sense. You can subscribe to listen at:

It would be cool to eventually have an archive in mp3/other of these podcasts for those who dont do ipod.
