So, exciting news! I just ended a call with one of my new friends at the Square Kilometer Array, and it looks like Season 4 of the Urban Astronomer Podcast is a go!

We keep things pretty loose at Urban Astronomer HQ, so details could easily change as the mood strikes, but we're hard at work writing scripts and setting up interviews with key SKA personnel for another 12 episodes. As usual, we're planning to release an episode every two weeks, and as usual we're probably going to miss a few deadlines, but we'll do our best to keep the good stuff coming on time!

So what can you expect? Interviews! With technical staff at MeerKAT! And Scientists! Talking about their science! Computer people talking about supercomputers! Engineers talking about how to even build the thing! Indigenous people who live next door and have to look at it! Managers and politicians who did whatever managers and politicians do to get projects like this built! Telescopes! Science!

And also, as per tradition, our own special ever-popular unique patented Science Explainy Bits, where we do our best to explain how it all works, using just our words and no diagrams because this is a podcast!

And where will you find all this lovely stuff? Why, at urban-astronomer.com of course! Now with extra subscribe buttons, to hook you up in the podcast platform of your choice, and a full back catalogue dating all the way back to our first episode in 2017.

Subscribe now, and never miss an episode of The Urban Astronomer Podcast - SKA season!
