Astronomycast, episode 300 from Monday, April 1, 2013, what we've learned in almost seven years.

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

My name is Fraser Cane, I'm the publisher of university and with me is Dr. Pamela Gaye, a professor at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, and the director of CosmoQuest.

Pamela, what are you doing?

I'm doing well how are you doing?

Good 300 episodes.

We have gotten a lot of audio out there that's like 150 hours of audio recorded and edited by poor innocent Preston for the most part.

Well that's 300 episodes of Just Astronomycast and when we had the question shows, we've done the weekly space hangouts, we've done a lot.

So actually the total amount of audio that we recorded is way more than that.

And almost all of it is available between our podcast and our YouTube channel.

So if you want to learn more, check us out on YouTube.

And do you remember when we first did the podcast, we had like 10 or 20, and people would catch up in a couple of days and then just nag us.

We used nag emails like, why haven't you recorded more? We don't get those anymore.

Oh, for a while we used to actually get it.

I logged in at such and such an hour and your new episode wasn't up yet.

And that was insane.

And now people are more forgiving because we do travel in these weeks and go on summer hiatus.

But 300 episodes.

Yeah, 300 episodes. That's good.

We're getting them out there.
