Watch full episodes of StarTalk Radio for free on YouTube

Our YouTube channel seems to be one of our best kept secrets, in spite of our “Side Order of Science” lunchtime video series or the fact that every Wednesday night when we put up a new video, we tell everyone on all our social media channels.

An even bigger secret is that you can go there to watch full-length episodes of StarTalk Radio for free.

No, these aren’t episodes of StarTalk TV. They are StarTalk Radio Show and podcast episodes that we videotaped while recording the show. In some cases, they’re nearly complete videos of StarTalk Live! performances, although those have been split into multiple parts to accommodate YouTube viewing tastes. (A >2-hour video is just too long for YouTube, even when it’s as much fun as a StarTalk Live! show.

Here are just a few of the shows you can enjoy, with links to the videos on YouTube. And if you’d like to subscribe to our YouTube channel, so you get notified automatically when we put up a new video, like tonight, click here.

Cosmic Queries: Rocket Science is Hard

Presenting the exclusive, YouTube video version of our full podcast episode, Cosmic Queries: Rocket Science is Hard, complete with a few glitches that got edited out of the podcast! Neil deGrasse Tyson answers fan questions about Antares, Rosetta, Philae, the Space Shuttle and more with the help of Planetary Society CEO Bill Nye the Science Guy and comic co-host Chuck Nice.

 

Cosmic Queries Potpourri with Neil deGrasse Tyson

Another eclectic mix of questions submitted by our fans on social media, selected by co-host Chuck Nice, and answered by Neil deGrasse Tyson.

 

Cosmic Queries: Funding Space Exploration with Bill Nye

Bill Nye, CEO of the Planetary Society, is back as guest host for an episode about a subject near and dear to his heart: funding space exploration. Together with comic co-host Eugene Mirman and guest Astro Mike Massimino, they answer questions from our fans about the value of planetary science, from innovation to inspiration.

 

Cosmic Queries with Bill Nye, Eugene Mirman and Astro Mike

Now you can watch the first time Bill Nye the Science Guy was our guest host, when Neil deGrasse Tyson was working on the COSMOS series for FOX. Together with Bill, co-host Eugene Mirman and guest Astro Mike Massimino have too much fun answering your questions, sans Neil.

 

Cosmic Queries: Space and Science Part 1

This is actually the full episode of our podcast, Cosmic Queries: More Space and Science with Bill Nye, where Bill was once again guest hosting for Neil and Chuck Nice was the co-host.

 

Cosmic Queries: Space and Science Part 2

Not to be intentionally confusing, but this is actually the full episode of our podcast, Cosmic Queries: Space and Science with Bill Nye, where Bill was guest hosting for Neil and Chuck Nice was the co-host. Why does the video we named Part 1 come before the video named Part 2? To quote ST:TNG, “We do not speak of it.”

 

StarTalk Live! Big Brains at BAM

What is consciousness? What is self-awareness?

And that was before surprise guest Bill Nye jumped out of the audience and joined the crew onstage.

Remember, if you’d like us to keep recording our podcasts and putting them up as full episodes on YouTube, the best way to tell us is by watching these episodes.

That’s it for now. Keep Looking Up!
