Spring 1990: Postcast

  This is rather embarrassing. This was meant to be the April 2010 show but, somehow, the new script that releases the show at midnight put out this very old episode instead. Right now I can't fix the feed because I can't log in to Jodrell. Apologies if your podcatching software downloads the wrong show.

  Great sound effects at the end of the show, brings a tear to my eyes.......
  A most excellent show, well worth the price of the stamps

  This must be an April Fool -
  "new script that releases the show at midnight"

  That'll be the day!

  Great show everyone, very funny and interesting. The universe is going to stop expanding and start shrinking (what?!), Hubble might make some interesting discoveries (really?!), David is planning to give up astronomy for acting (No!).
  Lots of blasts from the past, especially with Nick back on the show (albeit briefly). Fantastic - well done. I agree with EarthUnit by the way - great sound effects at the end too. Brought back lots of painful memories of having to keep reloading games on my Amstrad when they crashed after fifteen minutes of loading. *Groan*
  Cracking show - I tried faxing this but your machine was out of paper so it wouldn't go through. :)
  (By the way, wouldn't Jen have been about two in 1990!??!?!)

  I would have been 3 in April 1990! Obviously I was extremely advanced for my age... ;-)

• Comment by Starbug on Apr 06 2010:

  Obviously!
  Gosh, that makes me feel old though. :0

  What worries me is that some of my friends weren't even born in 1990!

  This episode was so much fun to make, if slightly stressful! I still can't quite believe that it was released on time...

  Don't believe everything that Jen tells you Starbug, about being advanced for her age.
  According to a article on www.conspiracy-theory. con , astronomers at jodrell bank are not working to increase our understanding to pulsars, this is just a front, but are engaged in top secret alien experiments to create a wibbly wobbly timey wimey machine. The last show was transmitted by mistake and they are now trying to pass it off as a April fool.
  I know what web site I believe.

• Comment by Starbug on Apr 08 2010:

  Really EarthUnit? So the podcasts and videos and even Jodcast Live were all just to make us believe they're legit astronomer types? I feel such a fool! I've been brainwashed! Perhaps if I'd worn my special sunglasses when I came to Jodcast Live I'd have seen all the subliminal messaging being secretly transmitted from the video screen! *Obscure film reference alert*
  But as for a wibbly wobbly timey wimey machine - well, that sounds just too hi-tech to be real!?

  Wonderful retro feel and presentation.
  I have to keep reminding my self that I don't need to send a tape in to get the next episode...
  I may do mock up of this and send it to you, I like it that much.
  Now where did I put my C90's

  GREAT SHOW GUYS - <CLAPS>
  Well done!
  Good thing I _STILL_ have my cassette tape Walkman to listen to it on =-)

• Comment by fambooth on May 05 2010:

  I wonder if further investigations into the Jodcast dungeon/archive might reveal the Jodcast pamplet published in 1609 where they may have interviewed a certain Italian gentleman on what would have been cutting edge scientific instrumentation and observations at that time.

  Great show which brought back memories of cassette tapes and very bad tastes in clothing.
