Houston We Have a Podcast

This is NASA’s official podcast straight out of Johnson Space Center in Houston, and it sounds exactly like you’d hope—authoritative but not stuffy. Host Gary Jordan sits down weekly with astronauts, engineers, and flight controllers who are literally building the future of human spaceflight. Over 415 episodes, the show has covered everything from the nuts and bolts of spacewalk procedures to the emotional reality of spending months on the International Space Station. Recent episodes have focused heavily on the Artemis II moon mission preparations and the CHAPEA Mars analog habitat experiments, giving you a front-row seat to missions while they are still being planned. Episodes range from 25 minutes to over an hour, depending on how much the guest has to say (and NASA engineers tend to have a lot to say). The production quality is exactly what you would expect from an agency that broadcasts rocket launches—clean audio, well-structured conversations, no filler. With a 4.7 rating and over 1,200 reviews, it has earned a loyal following among people who want their space news from the source rather than filtered through media coverage.
