I too spend my days working around funny nerves and dodgy brains, but have a secret yearning and absolute passion for all things physically scienced - especially astronomy, which has nearly caused divorce - its a long story. Thankyou Dr. Gay (and Frazer of course). Your astronomy cast programmes pass away the mundane tram journeys home from work. I found the globular cluster episode especially fascinating. Why? Thats just the kind of person I am............. I can empathise with our immunodermatologically inclined friend.

I spend my day treating boring skin diseases but at least i can listen to Astronomy Cast (and read your blog) and regain some sense of "shock and awe" about the universe. Your podcast reminds me of the way i felt as a kid watching Cosmos on TV! anyway enough 'gushing'... just wanted to let you know that i'm a big fan - i'm still trying to imagine those 50 billion neutrinos blasting through the earth and up through my feet at midnight. congratulations on a great show! keep up the good work!
