Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might re ...

DNA science. Artificial intelligence. Smartphones and 3D printers. Science and technology have transformed the world we live in. But how did we get here? It wasn’t by accident. Well, sometimes it was. It was also the result of hard work, teamwork, and competition. And incredibly surprising moments. Hosted by bestselling author Steven Johnson (“How We Got To Now”), American Innovations uses immersive scenes to tell the stories of the scientists, engineers, and ordinary people behind the great ...

A much needed clear night sees Mr Max and Chris distracted by the fabulous show put on by the Moon and planets in the West, as well as the usual bush escapades. The show features the Orion Cinematic Universe, and a guide to finding our namesake, Sirius, the Dog Star. No longer a harbinger of doom and disease, the brightest star in the sky is interesting for all sorts of reasons, not least its mysterious companion.
More about Sirius here: https://earthsky.org/brightest-stars/sirius-the-brightest-star/ and you can see a wonderful Hubble Space Telescope image of both Sirius A and its faithful companion here: https://sci.esa.int/web/hubble/-/38421-the-dog-star-sirius-a-and-its-white-dwarf-companion
A big thank you to everyone who sent in photos this week, and to @pgw6211 and @OxfordCheeseCo who supplied oatcakes for todays episode.
