About Us
Pale Blue Pod is an astronomy podcast for people who are overwhelmed by the universe but want to be its friend. Astrophysicist Dr. Moiya McTier and her best friend ConStar demystify space one topic at a time with open eyes, open arms, and open mouths (from so much laughing and jaw-dropping). By the end of each episode, the cosmos will feel a little less “ahhh too scary” and a lot more “ohhh, so cool!” New episodes every Monday.
Pale Blue Pod is a member of the Multitude Collective.

Moon landing deniers are all around us -- especially if you live in Russia! -- so Connie and Moiya are giving you the facts about flag poles, fuzzy shadows, and starless skies to combat the most common lunar conspiracy theories.
