Orbital Path: Must Be Aliens

from Transistor Hosted by PRX

Loyal Transistor listeners will remember astronomer Michelle Thaller, who hosted three episodes for us early in 2015. She’s back, now with her own monthly podcast from PRX called Orbital Path. It’s all about stars, the universe, and us — for space lovers or just the curious. The debut episode features the infamous Phil Plait of Bad Astronomy, as Michelle and Phil talk about why aliens get the credit for almost everything unexplainable. And episode two is in the works with another guest you won’t want to miss. Enjoy the show — and get links to subscribe to Orbital Path here. Orbital Path is produced by Lauren Ober.
