Production
The intention is for individuals, schools, companies, and other organizations to record 5–10 minutes of audio for each episode. Contributors sign up for a particular day or for up to twelve episodes: one per month. Contributors include both professional and amateur astronomers as well as other scientists, historians, and others with an interest in astronomy. In the first three years of the project, contributors from every continent except Antarctica submitted episodes. Each episode has a common intro and outro that ties it to the overall theme. Avivah Yamani, project manager through 2012, was based in southeast Asia and expressed desire to encourage more diverse participants.
The podcast's theme song, "Far," was written and recorded by George Hrab. A longer version of the song is available on his album Trebuchet, which was released in June 2010.
