Just needing to bring down the average ratings. Not everything is political and doing so actually has a tendency to turn away voters. I can provide research if needed Carrie

This has become one of my favorite space podcasts. The episodes are just the right length, and the host, Carrie Nugent, does a really good job getting a variety of guests to talk about interesting science (and themselves).

Description

Hear stories about the alien moons orbiting our Sun, of cold stars, and the future of space exploration. Every week, scientist Dr. Carrie Nugent chats about an amazing part of our universe with an expert guest. Spacepod is the podcast that gives you an inside look into space exploration.
