"...have me convinced there’s no topic better suited to the oral medium than space. Not even history. Nasa’s is the slicker of the two. It is now in its eighth series and has dropped down from an episode a week to one a month, which is understandable given the depth of research and level of scripting. The regular hosts, Padi Boyd and Jacob Pinter, are an astrophysicist and audio producer respectively, and are joined by people with some of the most interesting job titles I’ve ever heard."

"They do a great job providing plenty of details about what their day to day work is at the space agency, as well as digging into the path to NASA and inspirations of the guests."

"While the interviewees emanate that gush of wonder we want to see from those involved at NASA, the host gives me more of a relaxed vibe. It’s easy to listen to and extremely accessible- but might be a little too much for people who don’t want to feel like they’re watching a video their instructor pulled up in class. I can’t wait to finish the series on the James Webb Space Telescope and listen to more of NASA’s Curious Universe to satisfy my own space itch. This is a well done podcast that will be an excellent addition to many rotations. For me, I’ll be using it as a palette cleanser between true crime and thriller podcasts."
