    The Hosts are great
    For a long time I’ve been wanting to hear the voices of indigenous astronomers speak out about Mauna Kea and you all did it. Also liked hearing the stories of how deal with colonial culture in the STEM journey.

    Sounds like high schoolers
    When I think back to cosmic vertigo I have a great fondness for learning. Now I feel like I’m listening to gossiping high schooler who only know tiktok. Like omg. I couldn’t make it through the first full podcast without having to stop and listen to something else. Maybe I’ll try again in another 3 years…

    Hooked!
    Came across it from listening to and interview with Katie Mack on Ologies. Such a vibrant, brilliant and engaging show!

    So good!
    This show is so goo! It's definitley mind-blowing boiling down a lot of the technical language so that people can understand. I really enjoy their metaphors.

    Mind Blowing Inspiration
    A definite recommend. In this ABC (Australian Broadcasting Commission) Radio National production, two astronomers pick a space related topic each week to delve into. They do a great job of conveying the mind-blowing wonder of the universe.

    Hidden gem
    One of my all time favorites. Their enthusiasm for astronomy is infectious as it is informative. They are great ambassadors for science for all ages. Kids love it, I love it. Give them a listen.

    Favorite podcast about space
    I’ve tried different podcasts about space over the years, and Cosmic Vertigo is by far the best. The hosts have great chemistry and really know their stuff (and how to communicate it). The editing and production is also perfect, which keeps the episodes tight and interesting.

    Fantastic explanatory astronomy podcast
    Building from basics, terriffic podcast exploring black holes, the beginning of the universe (and the end?), solar winds, the possible existence (or not) of aliens, and more.

    Bravo, Cosmic Vertigo!
    This is a fantastic podcast for anyone who loves astronomy, loves science, or just loves to learn. Who knew that conversations between two brilliant and fun astronomers discussing mind-bending cosmic concepts could be so down-to-earth? The jaunty, friendly and engaging style of Dr. Amanda Bauer and Dr. Alan Duffy on Cosmic Vertigo draws the listener in and creates sheer awe and wonder for the listener...leading to #CosmicVertigo. Their ability to laugh, have fun, sing and ask questions, in order to explain the biggest mysteries of the universe is quite refreshing! It's the only science show I've listened to (or watched) that has made me laugh out loud with delight. It makes me want to learn more. And I have. What’s more, Joel Werner’s masterful production is a work of art—so creative, bravo! [cue applause sound effect here.] Can’t wait to see what Season 2 brings--keep up the excellent work!
