Yes, Interronauts is a science, news podcast co-created by me and Sophie Schmidt from CSIRO. We were given a tentative run of six episodes, and then another six, followed by a hiatus. Here are the first dozen episodes, plus some video clips from Episode 10. Episode 8 is dead, gone, kaput.
You can read about the show notes and research for every episode, here.
