The Jodcast

Episodes also feature interviews with JBCA PhD students during Jodbites to promote early-career researchers and to offer a unique perspective to life in academia.

An Odd and End segment is also provided by the episode's presenters, where current topical news articles and research papers (often of a humorous nature) are discussed.

It compiles current astronomy-related affairs and research gathered from existing media, such as print journals, web press releases and news sites into a short (<10 minutes) segment.

Written and narrated by the former president of the Society for Popular Astronomy, Ian Morison since its inception it was a permanent feature of the original Jodcast episodes.

[15][16] Following requests from listeners, the Jodcast also began a Southern hemisphere night sky section, which was written and produced by astronomers at Space Place at Carter Observatory in Wellington, New Zealand.

[6] Jodbite segments follow the same format as regular episode's interviews, except for their shorter duration and focus on the work of current JBCA/JBO staff and researchers.

It collates and maintains a list of radio shows and podcasts on topics related to the fields of astronomy, astrophysics and space science for educational purposes.
