About Us

Pale Blue Pod is an astronomy podcast for people who are overwhelmed by the universe but want to be its friend. Astrophysicist Dr. Moiya McTier and comedian Corinne Caputo demystify space one topic at a time with open eyes, open arms, and open mouths (from so much laughing and jaw-dropping). By the end of each episode, the cosmos will feel a little less “ahhh too scary” and a lot more “ohhh, so cool!” New episodes every Monday.

Corinne and Moiya hop in their time machine and jump to this same week from different years throughout history! They travel to witness Sally Ride coming home, the space shuttle program ending, and the birth of an 18th century astronomer. They also make some predictions for the future!

Moiya and Corinne are scrolling again and share the most interesting social posts they've found. Emotionally prepare to hear about an identity crisis for Earth's moon and flying spiders, but you'll be comforted by a story about how the kids are alright.
