*The Star River: Astronomy, Culture, and the Cosmic Connection*We are all travelers on a single current - a River of Space and Time flowing from ancient suns into the distant future. On *The Star River* , we don’t just watch the universe pass by; we wade into the stream.Hosted by *Eric Loyd (the Astropotamus)* , this podcast bridges the gap between the technical and the transcendent.
