About

The Voice of Independent Astrophysics

Astrophiz is the world’s leading independent, free and ad-free podcast dedicated to the wonders of the cosmos. Since our first broadcast, we have remained committed to a single mission: providing a platform for the world’s most brilliant astrophysicists and space scientists to share their research, their discoveries, and their personal journeys—without the interruption of commercials or corporate influence.

Deep Dives & Real Science

We move beyond the headlines. Our long-form interviews offer a rare, unfiltered look into the minds of the people mapping our universe.
Not only what they think, but also how they think.
From particle physics to planetary evolution, we bring the lecture hall to your headphones, making complex science accessible to students, professionals, and space enthusiasts alike.

Your Gateway to the Night Sky

Whether you are a seasoned researcher or a backyard observer, Astrophiz keeps you looking upward. In addition to our featured scientist interviews, our monthly SkyGuide with Dr Ian Musgrave provides a practical roadmap of the celestial events you can see from your own corner of the world.

All our podcasts are freely available and can be downloaded or streamed ad-free from Soundcloud,  Apple Podcasts, Podbean, Spotify, Audible Podcasts and Youtube podcasts.

Astrophiz is free, not-for-profit and self-sponsored.
Our aim is to build community understanding of science in general and astrophysics in particular by interviewing a diverse range of astrophysicists, radio astronomers, space scientists, astrophotographers, aurora hunters, telescope engineers, particle physicists and project managers.
