For those of you following all the events of the International Year of Astronomy, the big news this week is that the 365 Days of Astronomy podcasts have won a Parsec Award. This is a very big deal for the organizers of 365 Days of Astronomy, as well as all of us podcast creators who have been sending in our ‘casts every day. Mark and I (through Loch Ness Productions) have created 8 podcasts already (see my vodcast page here) with three more in the hopper. We’ve also supported the program with a financial donation because we see the grand promise of new media projects like this one. It’s been great fun to create these little audio labors of love and if you haven’t been listening every day, get over to 365 Days of Astronomy and start your audio astronomy adventure.

Special congrats to the 365 Days of Astronomy overall production team — and to all the podcast creators who have been sharing astronomy with listeners around the world.

(Note: for those wondering where I’ve been–I’m here, but my Internet access has been spotty due to an equipment problem with our provider. So, I get short periods each day to check email and post things. It should be fixed in the next day or so and I’ll be back with my regular postings. In the meantime, I’m working on some special projects in astronomy outreach!)
