This was a great episode! Planets are my favorite topics in astronomy.

Incidentally, I have recently been daydreaming about what life would be like in a planet around a red dwarf in the habitable zone, considering that one side of the planet would be gravitationally locked to the star. For example, most of the planet would be unliveable because the center of the side facing the star would be too hot, too cold for the other side, so most life would have to adapt in the twilight zone, and there would be big winds going from one side to the other, etc. Those are interesting things to think about.

May I say how pleased I am to hear your voices again! Don’t want to sound like a crazy fan, but I’m really glad that our incredibly informative and superbly educational podcast is still going “Not only tell you what we know but how we know what we know”. All of the other podcasts I’ve come across and listen to, which I like too, only tell you what we know. Not like Astronomycast, they’re more of a news bulletin sort of thing. Who else would give us a weekly Q&A show in addition to a regular show?!

Guys, your love to science and education is amazing, and we share you this passion! Thank you!

Chris is always a very good choice.

Fraser, I hope you get well soon.
