Astronomycast Episode 263 from Monday, April 30, 2012. Radioactive decay.

Welcome to Astronomycast, our weekly facts-based journey through the cosmos, where you help you understand not only what we know, but how we know what we know.

My name is Fraser Kane, I'm the publisher of University Day, and with me is Dr. Pamela Gay, a professor at Southern Illinois University, Everett'sville.

Pamela, how are you doing?

I'm doing well, how are you doing Fraser?

Doing really well.

So I wanted to thank everybody who's been giving me lots of feedback on the presentation of the Astronomycast app,

because people have been finding bugs and more just like tweaks, and I have a lot of control over how I can present the information.

So it looks as best as you want it on the app itself, on your iPhone or iPad.

But if you haven't already got it, highly recommend you go and pick up the Astronomycast app from the iTunes store.

Are you going to cost $1.99?

Yeah.

It's not very expensive, and it's got the entire library, you can star your favorite episodes, you can run it on continuous, you can download pretty pictures from it, you can get the descriptions, and I'm happy to keep putting energy into making that app experience better if you guys want to keep giving me feedback.

So thanks for letting me know.

And then other than that, I think why don't we get rolling?

Okay, that sounds good.
