From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Planetary Radio is a weekly 30-minute radio show devoted to space exploration and astronomy, hosted and produced by Mat Kaplan and The Planetary Society. Every week, it comprises mostly of interviews and telephone-based conversations with a scientist, engineer, project manager, artist, writer and an astronaut. In addition, it contains fun features such as Questions and Answers, hosted by Emily Stewart Lakdawalla, and What's Up with a Trivia Contest by Bruce Betts.

It first made its debut on the Internet in November 2002, with the interview with Planetary Society executive director Louis D. Friedman. Two months later, KUCI started airing Planetary Radio on its schedule, and in February 2004, WMUH added it to its schedule. It became availabie in MP3 format for download in early July 2004. Starting from May 2005, it is also available as a podcast.
