Just yesterday, Miles O'Brien from
This Week in Space announced the end of his podcast show. I wrote about this show
last January when it started and I have enjoyed it ever since. Miles took on the project after leaving CNN when the news network laid off its scientific staff (yes, real brilliant). He now has a new role as the science correspondent on PBS's
Newshour. Miles noted that
This Week in Space has been a "labor of love" that no longer pays the bills. I liked the fact that he tried this new podcast format, and the quality and guests certainly increased over time. Miles noted in his final broadcast that the show may return at some point in the future. I hope it does. In the meantime, I recommend subscribing to the podcast on iTunes or view is on YouTube. You can also visit
Miles O'Brien's page for updates on his show and his career. I wish him the very best.
