I hadn’t found any new podcasts to be excited about for a while, and then I stumbled upon Cooking with Dog.
Ostensibly, this is a Japanese cooking show that’s hosted by a poodle. In reality, there’s a poodle that’s inexplicably standing behind the cook and there’s no other attempt to explain it’s presence.
The dog combined with the fast-paced and curiously detailed descriptions of cooking Japanese food makes this a thoroughly mesmerizing video series.
If you’re like me, you spent 2009 in constant celebration of the International Year of Astronomy. You saw meteor showers, made solar system models, and took photos of the moon with homemade telescopes.
And of course you listened to the 365 Days of Astronomy Podcast.
It was crushing to come to the end of 2009, to no longer have the International Year of Astronomy to give me purpose and direction. I thought, "Matthew, you only have to make it through another month, and then it’ll be Black History Month."
But the good news is that the 365 Days of Astronomy Podcast isn’t going to stop! That’s right, it’s going to continue posting astronomy-themed episodes every day for another year. It turns out that there’s still quite a lot of astronomy out there.
Is it too early to declare this the century of astronomy? How about the Galactic Year of Astronomy?
