Description: The Urban Astronomer podcast is the audio version of the popular Urban Astronomer website, which has been sharing news and information about space science and astronomy since the year 2009.  The website has undergone several facelifts, and changes in editorial style and focus over the years, but it’s always stayed true to its principles of honest science presented simply, without oversimplifying.

Bio: Allen is an amateur astronomer, an IT professional, a podcaster, a father of five beautiful kids and a barely competent chess player.
