How stars explode and Teapots from Space

Dec 19, 2009

Over the past year I have been working on a series of science video podcasts (or vodcasts), with Jon Yardley and Olivia Gomez. There are lots of vodcasts available in the world of science but I wanted to make some which were fun and accessibe but did not turn down the volume on the science. The idea of the Teapots from Space came into being as a vehicle for telling different scientific stories. The Teapots are like a cross between a sci-fi B-movie and Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Nothing is taken too seriously, but the science is all correct.

Have a look at our latest creation, if you would like to know more about exploding stars. You can subscribe to the High Def version of the videos in iTunes or through feedburner, or by going directly to the website, http://teapotsfromspace.org
