I hope you enjoy it! It was fun to chat with them , although I felt like I was rambling on. 😆

You were really interesting, and the background about how TAC and the GSSP came about was terrific!

I'm going to have to jump ahead and listen to this one now.  I believe the name is The Actual Astronomy Podcast.

[David Kirjassoff]

That’s a great conversation Richard!

Thanks, Howard. I really enjoyed your interview with Chris and Shane back in 2023. They should have you back on. Will you be attending GSSP this year? I haven’t been in a while, but I’m considering going this year.

Chris and Shane are great to talk astronomy with, and I’d enjoy going back on their podcast sometime. 

I am planning on attending the GSSP this year, and hope you can make it too Richard.

Redownloaded podcasts to listen and it was a great episode! Good to learn about how TAC came about and your experiences over the years.
