On this FIRST of a TWO PART episode, we have Matt Schricker of @Bostronomy on the show for a 'very Boston podcast' where we chat about Astronomy, Music, and Matt's STEM origin story. Matt shares his Astronomy on Instagram and TikTok but also has a creative style that we enjoy very much in his content. We dive into his origin story, being a Dad, his love of music (his band "Fever Dream" plays in Boston regularly), and the more human side of space and science.

If you ever wondered about Astronomy and whether you could get into it OR if you ever thought it was too complicated - LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE! Some very down to Earth space-talk with two guys from Boston drinking some cold adult beverages and chatting about life and the "space condundrum". A perfect getaway for the holiday travel (and an escape from the holiday stess).

We had so much fun space talking, this episode has a whole other episode! Part TWO coming out the week of Christmas so look out for it. In the meantime, enjoy this episode with Matt Schricker and make sure to follow him @Bostronomy on Instagram and TikTok

The credit for this episode's 'Astronomy Pic of the Week' goes to Matt Schricker! Our first guest Astropicture

• The Pleiades, an Open Cluster located 400 lightyears away in the constellation Taurus
• Matt captured over 24 hours of exposure for this image, exposing so much of the gas surrounding these famous star cluster that spans 15 lightyears across.

Here's to building a fantastic future - and continued progress in Space (and humanity)!
