I just found this podcast and am tearing my through at several episodes a day. A couple of them had such a wealth of information that I listened twice. I’ll be sad when I’m all done. Michelle mentioned at least a couple of times that people have commented that knowing how a natural phenomenon works diminishes its beauty. My retort to people who have said that to me (a mere armchair science enthusiast) is that, were it true, you couldn’t enjoy Mozart if you knew music theory, a football game if you understood the strategy, or driving a nice car if you knew how it was built. It’s a downright silly idea. Thanks for the excellent podcast!

Come back Michelle ☄️

We need more space vacuums. #blackholes2020🕳

What a fantastic episode! I wish she would restart this podcast!!!

I am lost without this podcast and the soothing voice of Michelle. I now know the emptiness of space and the void between galaxies.

What a great podcast. Always was interesting to hear and it was always informative. I enjoyed listening and felt I learned something from it. I am just sad that the ride is over. Where do we write to keep this ride going?

We, humans from planet Earth need a podcast like this one. Please consider coming back! Thank you.

Any chance you could do more than just one every 6 years?

thanks for bring these awesome astronomy and cosmology stories to the people!!!

Michelle, thank you for creating this podcast. You ask terrific questions, host smart and inspiring guests and always manage to expand how I see the world. I'm thrilled to have found this podcast. Keep up the great work!

I’ve been listening to Orbital Path for a few years now. Each new installment has interesting scientific observations and is presented in an intellectually stimulating manner. Good stuff!

I’ve listened to some episodes of Orbital Path more than once. They are informative, engaging, and well edited. Anyone with an interest in physics, astronomy, space, or science in general will enjoy this series.

Love it...from a fellow astrophysicist ✨🌙

I had the pleasure of meeting Michelle. What an awesome experience and I love this podcast.

I download this podcast pretty much as soon as it comes out. I dive a truck for a living and sometimes don’t have access to streaming. Being a backyard astronomer when I am home with my 10inch DOB, I have always loved science and space in particular and was thrilled to hear the 1st episode about the possibility of a giant “alien” structure being built around a distant star👽. What better way to pass the miles besides pondering the possibility that every moment you experience exists forever. Try this podcast, while much of the science is over my head the presentation is great and fun to listen to. Chris Handley

Not an expert in anything space or math but these concise explorations are fun and always put topics in context. Very charmed by the host's endless enthusiasm 💚

Of 50+ audio podcast subscriptionson on a variety of topics, Orbital Path is the one I look forward to the most and immediately listen to each episode on release. Michelle Thaller reawakens the listeners natural curiosity of the universe in which we all live.

for the show

This is the third great podcast I discovered after TWIS and StarTalk. Highly recommended to folks who love to follow Hubble, JWST news, read stories about our solar system exploration and so on.

This is just a personal pet peeve but I cannot stand to hear the smacking of saliva when someone talks. It ruins my whole experience.

I love these short, informative and entertaining podcasts! Actually, sometimes I don't want the episode to be over! I also get excited to see a new episode in my feed.

A podcast about the universe around us that isn't over your head. Very informative and makes me think about the world-and space around me. Keep em coming!

Episodes have been scarse lately but I thoroughly enjoy them!

Great

This is really a must-listen if you're into this type of science at all. The host is fantastic, so enthusiastic and energetic. The information is solid and interesting. My only wish is that each episode were longer!

Great podcast. Can't wait for more episodes

I absolutely love this podcast, I constantly find myself wishing it was longer though. Please consider longer form episodes either with multiple guests or even more in depth content! Keep up the awesome work!

I’m a space-nut, and this podcast is like astro-crack for the ears! It is so well produced with interesting topics and enthusiastic guests who have a passion for their work. I have been waiting w/ baited breath for each new episode and gobble it up with zeal. You can tell that Michelle Thraller’s guests are experts in their respective fields, and her commentary at the end does a great job in wrapping it all up. Whether an expert stargazer, or middle-school kid working on their science fair project anyone and everyone will find this podcast intriguing and engaging.

Love it! Accessible, eloquent and fun without getting hokey. I was never fond of science when I was in school, unfortunately, and now that I’m older and am trying to get into it I find it really helpful to listen to podcasts like this that introduce complex things in a way that a layman like me can understand.

No background in astronomy needed for this wonderful podcast. Interesting and thought-provoking without being too technical. I just wish they came out more frequently!

This is a great podcast! It's short and sweet and intellectual and engages you in the curiosity the podcaster obviously has.

So happy I just love this pod! All science and nature bluffs like me please watch this!

Michelle Thaller is an excellent presenter. She was fantastic on How The Universe Works. I always looked forward to her segments and hearing her thoughts on the space and the wonders of the universe. Her love and fascination with science is contagious!

Wow, how intriguing! I was hooked after episode one, just finished episode 2 and I can't wait for episode 3!

Dr Thaller is one of these rare smart people that is easy to listen to. I always like it when she appears on TV shows. Nice pace and fun topics so far. Not too dumbed down, but also not too academic so a lay-spacegeek like myself can enjoy. I hope that if the podcast gets a good enough response, they can make the episodes longer and more frequent. 15 min once a month won't cut it. Needs to be at least 30 min, and preferably once every week or two.

I'm glad that there's a straight-up, high quality podcast dedicated to space alone. Curious to hear where this goes.

I really enjoyed this podcast and can’t wait for more. PLEASE record more! The topics covered, the audio quality and it’s obvious you have a passion for science. From what I’ve heard this is definitely going to be one of my top listened to podcasts.

I really was not interested in the content, although you kept drawing me in...I could not escape! I was really only looking at various podcast artwork, and yours caught my eye. I clicked to see what you were all about, and found only one episode. I clicked, and the first thing I heard was an intro, with very fitting music. The second thing was your superb audio clarity, and levels. The way you present what you have is very drawing. I stayed around and listened. I just want to say, Great job! Even though I am not too interested in the subject matter, I am going to subscribe.

Love the thoughts and uncertainties presented and looking forward to more from this podcast!

I'm being sarcastic here.

i love science and astro-stuffs so this was a great find! easy to understand but not dumbed down and still super interesting. im very excited for this podcast!

Subscribed within minutes of listening. Kept me interested from beginning to end. Very well produced. Excited to hear the podcasts to come!

I really enjoyed the first episode and thus, subscribed. Looking forward to more.

Michelle and Phil together! Awesome perspective on science.
