The Urban Astronomer Podcast tries to highlight the important role of South African astronomy in in the world of science, by interviewing people with a connection to the local astronomy scene, and also by giving deep answers to basic science questions.
We produce podcasts that tell African stories that advance social justice and elevate marginalized voices by showing the human and historical connections that shape the present and affect the future.
We are looking to hear African thinkers who are grappling with issues such as land politics, the experiences of parents of queer people negotiation the difficult social dynamics of an intolerant continent, freedom of the press and the politics of power generation.
