365 Days of Astronomy
=====================
The 365 Days of Astronomy Podcast is produced by the New Media Working Group of the International Year of Astronomy 2009. Audio post-production by Preston Gibson.

Please consider supporting the podcast with a few dollars (or Euros!). Visit us on the web at 365DaysOfAstronomy.org or email us at info@365DaysOfAstronomy.org. Until tomorrow…goodbye.
Personally I’d nominate the August 15th episode as my personal favourite for the year, taking into account all factors from “quality of presentation” to “telling me something I didn’t know”.
Also, episodes about physical astronomy suffer, however unfairly, from the inevitable comparison with Astronomy Cast, and maybe that helps episodes exploring very different niches (such as history of astronomy) to shine a little more.
Well done what a fantastic achievement!
I might be tempted to make a podcast next year!
