I'd be interested in knowing more about it. You did mention that you were a little quizzical about the inclusion of astrology in it and was wondering whether it was 'that bad' or just a gimmick?

I am especially looking for good small science podcasts; the kind that are hard to find in iTunes™. But I am proud that we already have the pioneering podcast, The Astronomy Cast with Dr. Pamela Gay. I also wanted to mention Books and Ideas at http://booksandideas. com. There is an episode about Harry Potter (#13) and quite a few interviews with scientists of various ages, including Dr. Pamela Gay from The Astronomy Cast (#14). In Dr. Gay's interview we talk a little about the challenges facing women in science.

Let’s face it, when you go to a bookstore, you’re more likely to be faced with the following teenage -target audience selection that I photographed here - lots and lots of female-orientated fiction that does not seem to particularly promote a pro-science message.
