As part of the International Year of Astronomy 2009, 365 Days of Astronomy will bring you a different podcast every single day of the year about a topic in astronomy. You may remember that I blogged about the initiative before.

Pamela Gay (the Starstryder) and Michael Koppelman have just posted up a first podcast on the website with some useful information about getting involved in 365 Days. If you’re shy about your voice (like me), you can just email in your script and someone else may be able to record your podcast; alternatively, if you have no faith in your writing skills, you can just lend your voice! A calendar is also posted at the site with memorable dates in astronomy, anniversaries of discoveries and the like for inspiration.

And best of all, the podcast debuts the fabulous theme tune by George Hrab. Warning: it’s really catchy!
