Hi Folks

 

Every weekday night whilst the lock down is on I am presenting a show called The Lock in at the Locked Inn on Astro Radio.

 

These shows start at 8pm with music and phone ins from professional and amature astronomers. We have had so far Megan Argo, Dallas Campbell, Paul Fellows Dr Paul Roche, Peter Jenkins, and many more. We have Chris Lintott, Pete Lawrence , Commander Hadfield from the ISS and many more to come over the next few weeks.

 

To tune in go to www.astroradio.earth or ask your device for Astro Radio from Tune In.

 

We are also looking for donations to keep us on air through this period as our income stream has been significantly reduced during this difficult time.

This can be done from the front page of the website.

 

The idea is to create a social hub for astronomers and music lovers to have a focus each weekday evening, we are hitting over 100,000 listeners a day at present worldwide.

 

Hope my contribution to this period is helping.

 

Pete
