I’ve enjoyed the show for years and still do. The latest episode (13 Nov 24) covered the fascinating topic of the EELS technology for Enceladus and I would’ve loved to hear it. Unfortunately, the audio was obviously heavily processed, to the point of being unbearable. The host and the guests sounded like strange robots. I hope this was a one-off glitch or I’ll have to abandon Planetary Radio.

I can’t continue to be part of supporting a pro NASA podcast. In its partnership with SpaceX, NASA has become a willing participant in habitat destruction and climate change. Returning to the moon is not worth the damage to the planet.

What a silly segment. That’s not what people come here for.
Awesome program and host!

I listen to a lot of podcasts, with many of them being science, astronomy, and space-exploration based. Sarah Al-Ahmed is head and shoulders above the rest in terms of being a great and welcoming host, extremely well-prepared for interviews, and asking very thoughtful and deep questions during her programs. I'm amazed at her ability to synthesize new information during interviews and ask excellent additional questions and comments on the fly. I have learned so much about the current state of planetary science and exploration from this show! Please keep up the fabulous programming and work!
