• March 2007 (MP3)
  This month we took our brand new recording kit to Astronomy Now's Astrofest 2007 to talk to some of the exhibitors and visitors. Back at base, Nick catches up with Ciska Markwick-Kemper to talk about dust in space. As always we ask Tim your questions, get the latest astronomy news from Megan, Stuart gives us a round up of other astronomy podcasts and Ian tells us what we can see in the night sky during March. We also get an alert about a total lunar eclipse taking place on 3rd March 2007 (check out the links in the show notes for more details).
• Reports from Astrofest 2007 - part 1 - March 2007 (MP3)
  Stuart Lowe was at Astrofest 2007 where he talked to everyone who didn't run away from the scary looking microphone. Stuart talked to Keith Cooper and Greg Smye Rumsby of Astronomy Now magazine, Andrew Newsam the Director of the National Schools Observatory, Carol Brien a distance learning student, Ellen Strachan of the Royal Observatory Greenwich and Sandra Voss from the Observatory Science Centre Herstmonceaux.
• Reports from Astrofest 2007 - part 2 - March 2007 (MP3)
  In this, the second part of our Astrofest 2007 special report, Ian Morison caught up with Peter Wise the Managing Director of Cape Newise Technologies and asked him about his new telescope designs. Stuart talks to a Lillian (a Polish amateur astronomer), Bob Mizon (Coordinator of the BAA's Campaign for Dark Skies), Robin Scagell (Vice President of the Society for Popular Astronomy), Simon and Craig (two Jodcast listeners) and Andrew Newsam of Liverpool John Moores University.

• Interview with David Boyce (University of Leicester) - February 2007 (MP3)
  Stuart talked to David Boyce about the possibility of ultraviolet astronomy from the surface of the Moon.
• January 2007 (MP3)
  Happy New Year and welcome to the first Jodcast of 2007. We start, as always, with a round up of the past month in astronomy. We talk to Martin Hardcastle about active galactic nuclei and radio galaxies (see the fantastic cover art by Aurore Simonnet for an idea of what they look like). We also gate-crashed a recent meeting about the proposed Square Kilometre Array (SKA) to find out what it is as well as finding out about the two proposed sites. We have no ask an astronomer this month but Ian is here to tell us what we can see in January's night sky. We also get a round up of interesting astronomy podcasts and set our first ever competition. You'll have to listen to find out what the question is!
• November 2006 (MP3)
  We have another packed show for you this month. Megan tells us the latest news in astronomy including exciting news about the STEREO mission, the Nobel Prize for physics 2006, ice on the Moon, extrasolar planets, damage to the Faulkes Telescopes, the re-opening of Mt Stromlo and the future of the Hubble Space Telescope. Nick and Stuart talk to Robert Nemiroff about the great internet resource that is astronomy picture of the day. We find out about an exciting ESA/NASA mission that will attempt to detect waves in space-time (gravitational waves) using three spacecraft named LISA. We also get a spooky edition of Ask an Astronomer where Tim O'Brien tells Nick about the variable star Algol and Ian Morison tells us what we can see in the November night sky.
• Interview with Dr Robert Nemiroff (APoD) - November 2006 (MP3)
  Nick and Stuart rang up Robert Nemiroff to find out about Astronomy Picture of the Day. Robert tells us how conversations with Dr Jerry Bonnell started it all back in 1995. We find out how he finds images to use, how long it takes to put APoD together and why some images get repeated. He also tells us about his new book (Astronomy: 365 days) which has just been published and features the best images from APoD over the past three years.
• Interview with Michael Burton (Friday 25th) - IAU General Assembly Special 2006 (MP3)
