@hermitageboy, I don't think H&S would be too happy with the idea :-) The best we can do at the moment is bring it to you via videos like this.

The music is very cool!

The music was created by a very cool Jodcast listener named Susan M. Lockwood.

Keep up the good work guys, the Jodcast is the best 'popular' astronomy podcast I've found on the net. It must cost a lot of chops to make!

Nobody does it better than the British. This cost thrupence ha'penny to build and was made from drinking straws and sticky back plastic......

Is this the original length of the video? A 5-minute intro feels a bit tight to me. Well done anyway!
