The Story of Astrophiz: Independent Space Science
The Voice of Independent Astrophysics from your hosts:
Brendan O’Brien & Dr Ian Musgrave
Astrophiz is my independent, free, and ad-free podcast dedicated to the wonders of the cosmos. Since my very first broadcast, I have remained deeply 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
I like to move far beyond the quick headlines. My long-form interviews offer a rare, unfiltered look into the minds of the people mapping our universe. I want to share not only what they think, but also how they think. From particle physics to galactic and planetary evolution, My goal is to give you a front-row seat to the conversations happening at the cutting edge of space science, while making complex science accessible to students, professionals, and space enthusiasts alike.
Your Gateway to the Night Sky
Whether you are a seasoned researcher, a keen or beginning astrophotographer, or a backyard observer, I want to keep you looking upward. In addition to my featured scientist interviews, I collaborate with Dr. Ian Musgrave each month to bring you a practical roadmap of all the celestial events you can see from your own corner of the world.
Every episode is freely available and can be downloaded or streamed ad-free from SoundCloud, Apple Podcasts, , Spotify, Audible, Pocket Casts, and YouTube. Astrophiz is free, not-for-profit and self-sponsored.
Why I keep doing this, since June 2016 …
Astrophiz is my personal science outreach project and my core aim is to build understanding of science in general, and astrophysics in particular. To do that, I seek out and interview an incredibly diverse range of voices across the space community … predominately radio astronomers, but including passionate astrophotographers, aurora hunters, telescope engineers, particle physicists, and space project managers.
