Hi everyone,No worries yet. There are some keen students who'd like to fill the void. Let's hope they can do a good job in future episodes. And I will most certainly keep on contributing.Cheers,Roy

This is not good news. The Jodcast is an important resource, especially in the IYA. What message do we, as astronomers, send out to the general public at large if the Jodcast gets axed. Jodcast is ...

Jodcast is important on so many levels: it is accessible via many means; it is recordable so you can not only listen to it when and where you want, but also again and again (I have listeded to a number several times); It is accessible - you don't have to be a professional astronomer to understand it, but even experienced astronomers and scientists can get something out of it.

It would be a real shame to see it cut down.]]> http://forum.jodcast.net/comments.php?DiscussionID=28&Focus=142#Comment_142 2009-03-07T07:04:09+00:00 2010-09-09T13:52:26+01:00 EarthUnit http://forum.jodcast.net/account.php?u=29

The work you ALL put in is really appreciated. It will be a shame to see a reduction (don’t even want to think about a loss) of the jodcast this being the year of astronomy as well. Fingers crossed, things will work out……… :-(

I'm currently looking for a new job and the Manchester area is an option. If I end up in the area, then I can offer my services (FOC) to help out with stuff like websites and post-production and anything that means I don't have to talk into a mic. Will let you know if I move back up North.

Hi all. I thought I should let everyone know that the Jodcast is likely to be going through some difficult times soon as Nick's postdoc job is coming to an end. For his day job, Nick uses ...

As you might be aware, the Jodcast is run on less than a shoestring budget (quite literally we don't have enough money to buy a pair of shoe laces). It only continues through the time and dedication of those of us on the Jodcast team. Nick is a major part of that and, if he leaves, he is unlikely to be able to commit as much effort as he does now.

As we are just coming to terms with this sad news, we aren't sure what the result will be for the Jodcast. It is unlikely that the rest of us will be able to take over much of what Nick currently does, being stretched ourselves. At a minimum it is likely that we will have to axe the mid-month shows. Of course, nothing is certain but we'll try to keep you all informed if or when anything happens.]]>
