Episode LXI: A New Dawn
Chris and Rob talk all about the Zooniverse in this special episode. It’s been a busy week at the Zooniverse and so we have also recruited special guest Brooke Simmons, as a Galaxy Zoo expert. We focus of the backstory of the past ten days of the Zooniverse, which includes the launch of the Andromeda Project and Snapshot Serengeti.

A Cabbage and a Horse
Chris and Rob have a Friday feeling as they discuss the sleeping Listener, new and renewed Zooniverse projects and a doomed cloud of interstellar dust. Are Martian blueberries organic? Do you need a coffee stain to be a real paper? All this and more.
