Show overview
NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day has been publishing since 2023, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 1,043 episodes. That works out to roughly 25 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a near-daily cadence.
Episodes typically run under ten minutes — most land between 4 min and 4 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Education show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 137 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2024, with 366 episodes published. Published by Robert M Wagner.
From the publisher
These podcasts are my discussion of NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day. These are brief (3-5 minute) audio summaries of the picture posted on NASA's Picture of the Day website: APOD. Video versions of these are available on YouTube. I use these as the introduction to each of my introductory astronomy classes. Students will be able to access them here to review what was discussed in class. I appreciate any comments or suggestions which can be sent to: [email protected].
