Out of the Silent Planet is a podcast hosted by Michael and Tony, two planetary scientists. Our podcast format usually includes a brief introduction, a short (~30 min) opening segment on something either topical or irrelevant, followed by a lengthier (1~2 hr) main segment, usually centered around a paper we've both read. New episodes come out every other Monday. Music for the podcast is provided by the excellent Brothertiger and graphic design by the magnificent Kenny Phillips.The book that is our namesake is a classic sci-fi by C. S. Lewis, which at least one host has read.
