Transcript:
Hi, this is Shaila Akhter from UNSW Australia. I welcome you all to my 365 days of Astronomy Podcasts! Today, I will talk about the Interstellar Medium. In simple terms, the medium between stars is called the Interstellar Medium, or in short the ISM. It is the thin mixture of gas, dust and high-energy particles. In my podcast, I will discuss about:
- What is the ISM?
- Where does this ISM come from?
- The components of the ISM.
- The Structure and Physical Properties of the ISM, etc.
If you have any questions or feedback, please leave a comment below!
Hope you will enjoy it!

Shaila, I found your pod cast very interesting on the ism. However, it was very hard to understand you at times. Your heavy accent merges words together into unrecognizable sounds. You must try to prononce your syllables and words clearer to aviod confusion. Example: earth oort dynamically properties density and masiver to name a few.
thank you. I will deliver your message to Shaila.
