About this listen

We are all travelers on a single current - a River of Space and Time flowing from the hearts of ancient suns into the distant future. But we aren't just standing on the banks watching it pass; we are part of the stream.

The Star River is an exploration of that profound connection. Hosted by Eric Loyd - the Astropotamus - this show bridges the gap between the technical and the transcendent. Through the lenses of astrophotographers, the melodies of musicians, and the insights of celestial explorers, we examine how we are inextricably linked to the cosmos.

Every journey begins with a ritual: sharing a drink to ground ourselves in the present before we wade into the infinite. Whether we are discussing the physics of light or the feeling of being under the stars in the desert, we seek to understand this current that moves through us all.

You are already in the River. Join us as we navigate its bends, its shallows, and its sudden falls. Raise a glass, find your place in the flow, and let’s see where the River takes us.

    Welcome to the Star River.

    We are all travelers on a single current - a River of Space and Time flowing from the hearts of ancient suns into the distant future. The Star River is an exploration of that profound connection, bridging the gap between the technical and the transcendent experiences of the night sky.

    In this trailer, host Eric Loyd (the Astropotamus) introduces the mission of the show: to examine how we are inextricably linked to the cosmos through conversations with scientists, artists, explorers, stargazers, and average people who look up.
