Every scientist knows that kids ask the toughest (and best!) questions. What do asteroids smell like? Do other planets really have diamond rain? Spacepod features questions from kids and answers from scientists. Good questions help everyone learn - even the experts!Copyright 2025, Carrie Nugent. All rights reserved.

Recently discovered this podcast as part of a research passion project on planetary defense. Carrie does a great job of shortcutting me to fascinating people and giving just a taste of their work so I can go find more. While the drink tradition is a little cheesy as an icebreaker (admitting I've used it as well in my work), it helps humanize people who could just be floating voices. She's also well-versed enough to help translate some of the more technical pieces of others' work and makes a wonderfully useful effort to do so. In a golden age of astronomical discovery, this is a superb exploration of some of the fast-developing niches of planetary science. Please keep it up!

Scratches my nerdy itch just right!
