So much giggling

macdon763•7/27/2026

This pod was strong for a long time, but in recent episodes schoolgirl giggles are swamping the science.

Came for science, stayed for toenail moons

Currently binging this podcast every second I’m in my car (4+ hours/day) and no regrets so far. Every episode is so reminiscent of having a drink with friends and talking about how we would climb on top of the library, except they’re competent and are talking about science. You can tell they both love the subject so much and the guests they have are similarly thrilled to learn more about our universe. This show made me want to buy binoculars, like a nerd, and I think I’m going to. If you love astrophysics and friendly banter I suggest listening immediately. Long Live the Toenail Moon 🌙

Entertaining and educational.

A very entertaining friendly conversation of astronomy topics. No one talked over each other and it easy to listen to.

I liked this show alright I guess till they got into POLITICS and rewrote history. Pluto was a panel until Barack HUSSEIN O’Bummer cancelled it because it wasn’t woke enough. Don’t try to push your views to anyone. MAGA!!!
