Exploring Exoplanets with JWST. In November's episode, Mel talks to Dr Hannah Wakeford on her work in the field of exoplanets, utilising JWST to delve into planetary atmospheres. For our Jodbite, we talk to postdoc Dr Aishrila Mazumder about her research mapping hydrogen.

How to build your own radio telescope!. In this episode, Louisa talks to Dr. Danny Jacobs about radio cosmology and the physical challenges that face building and operating radio telescopes today. In October’s Jodbite, Honor and Phoebe talk about their masters projects, and it’s all things lunar with back-to-back moon news.

Exoplanets, Brown Dwarfs, and Semantics. In the show this time, Mél Azombo interviews Dr. Ed Gillen about the evolution of stellar and planetary systems, we review the status of each of the next-generation optical/near-infrared telescopes currently under construction, and George Bendo answers an ask an astronomer question about the difference between exoplanets and brown dwarfs.

To celebrate the first images from the Euclid Mission, we are doing a special Euclid episode

The CMB and it's B-modes. In this episode, Kammy and Jonathan interview Dr William Coulton from the Centre of Computational Astronomy in New York and they discuss early universe cosmology and the detection of CMB B-modes. Bijas and Phoebe discuss the discovery of a protoplanetary disk around a nearby star, new insights into one of the most distant and luminous galaxies ever observed and the possible environments on exoplanets. Jessy interviews Oli Dodge in this month’s Jodbite. This month we had issues with the audio quality when recording. We tried to mitigate them in post but it mostly affects the jodbite (24:45 - 35:27).

Galaxy evolution: not so sim(ple)ulations.This month, Kammy and Jessy are joined by Dr. Ana Duarte Cabral from Cardiff University, where she discusses her work on understanding the connection between star formation and galaxy evolution and clues us in on how simulating these processes are not a simple affair. Fiona and Phoebe report on the recent discovery of a quiet Galactic black hole, and observations of a loud white dwarf star. Ask an Astronomer makes a return with George and Honor!

ABC's of GRB's. In this episode, Soheb interview Dr Gavin Lamb from Liverpool John Moores University and they discuss the exotic nature of gamma ray bursts. Fiona is joined by Mel and Honor and they discuss NASA's DART mission, the oldest 'dead' galaxy yet and why Gallifrey must not exist. The Jodbite makes a comeback where Fiona interview Micah Bowles.

Feel the Magnetic Pull. In this episode, Jessy Marin talks to Dr. Kate Pattle about her work studying the involvment of magnetic fields in star formation. We discuss some of the newly released images from the Event Horizon Telescope and JWST and test a new format for our Odds and Ends section where we present an interesting article on Saturn's moon, Mimas.

Blueberries and Peas. In February's episode, Fiona interviews Dr Alex Cameron on his work understanding the properties of early galaxies using JWST, and we take a whistle-stop tour around some of Bluedot's stalls from July 2023.

Bluedot 2023 Special. In this episode, Fiona Porter travels to Bluedot and interviews Dr. Rebecca Bowler, Sheena Cruickshank, and Jen Gupta. Additionally, Fiona Porter conducted a separate, extended interview with Dr. Tim O'Brien about organizing Bluedot and about the history of Jodrell Bank.

Hello? Is there anybody there? In the show this time, we talk to Tom Scragg about Pulsar timing arrays [07:43:00 - 00:41:43], Jonathan Wong rounds up the latest news [00:01:02-00:07:33] and we find out what we can see in the December night sky from Ian Morison, Haritina Mogosanu and Samuel Leske [00:55:19 - 01:19:20].
