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.

    Hey, that's us. I'm Dr. Moya McTier. I'm an astrophysicist and a folklorist, and a friend to the universe. Also, a good friend to my bestie/co-host.

    You do, and I think you're getting closer to the universe every week, every day.

  5. Connie Gibbs· Host0:48

    Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. I feel it in a variety of areas. Even in my games that I play, I'm like, "Oh, this one's about space." So I recognize little, little things. I was playing Outer Wilds, uh, the other day, and I got sucked into a black hole, and I was just thinking about, "Oh my gosh, Moya- [laughs] [laughs] ... the accretion disk."

  11. Connie Gibbs· Host1:14

  12. Moiya McTier· Host1:16

    This is proof it works. [laughs] Uh, Misha, the editor of the podcast, and I did a, an episode on Outer Wilds where they played and I watched, 'cause I, I can't do the video games, and it w- was delightful
