Description

Another cloudy night in Oxford finds Chris and Mr Max in reflective mood. Join the pair on an evening ramble, and learn about the brilliant star Arcturus, why wine is dangerous and how the Chicago World's Fair started with a lie. Also marvel at us not barking at things.

Thanks and happy 40th birthday to our sponsors the Oxford Cheese company!

Join Chris Lintott and Mr Max on their evening exploration of the night sky (Chris) and the discarded pizza boxes of Oxford (Max). Indulge in lazy astronomy: the art of being impressed simply by looking up. The podcast is your five minute guide to what to look for in our changing night sky and the stories of what's found there, as you wander with or without your own four-legged friend. Remember: No barking! Descriptions of the sky suitable for anywhere in the northern hemisphere.
