Hi! My name is Dr. Mikhail Lisakov. I know, many of you might be short on time to read new arxiv.org submissions daily. I faced this myself and was keen to find an alternative way to stay tuned other than reading. I found nothing but you are lucky to find this podcast. I decided to start it to help people like me to stay up to date. In each episode, I will review one or two of fresh arxiv submissions. I currently monitor HE, IM, and GA, and most probably would talk about AGN-related stuff. Do not hesitate to join the discussion on https://www.facebook.com/groups/1024546558059932

    Hi. I am reviewing a paper today for the first time. And here what I have selected: Resolving the inner jet of PKS 1749+096 with super-resolution VLBA images at 7 mm by Lang Cui with co-authors. I recommend reading this paper. The details are in today's episode 1-1. Also a couple of links to the BU images which might be useful to compare with: https://www.bu.edu/blazars/VLBA_GLAST/1749/1749aug11_map.jpg https://www.bu.edu/blazars/VLBA_GLAST/1749/1749jul14_map.jpg Hope you find it useful.

    In this episode, I outline my motivation to start this podcast. I was looking for some resources to listen to recent submissions to astro-ph. I found nothing and decided to start my own channel. Every day I will review one or two fresh submissions in astro-ph subtopics: GA, HE, IM. My research interest is AGN, so I will talk mostly on AGN-related topics. I hope you find it useful to have an option to listen to my reviews while driving, walking, cooking, or doing whatever else. Thank you for listening and see you next time. In the first useful episode.
