Welcome to the Astrum Sleep Space podcast; the perfect place to come and wind down for the evening while you learn more about the grandeur of the universe. I’m Alex McColgan, the founder of the Astrum brand, and your host on this podcast. Come and listen as I tell you about incredible missions, fascinating discoveries, and everything I’ve come to love about space.If you like what you're listening to, be sure to check out my YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/@astrumspace for more great space content.
The Sleep Space from Astrum is an exceptional addition to the already impressive lineup of space productions by Astrum. As a long-time fan, I was ecstatic when I heard about the launch of this podcast, and it certainly did not disappoint. With its calming narration, insightful visuals, and educational content about space, The Sleep Space is a true gem in the realm of podcasts.
One of the best aspects of The Sleep Space is its ability to provide a peaceful and relaxing experience for its listeners. The calming narration style adopted by Astrum creates a soothing atmosphere that allows you to immerse yourself in the wonders of space while unwinding from the stresses of daily life. Combined with gentle background music and carefully selected visuals, listening to this podcast feels like embarking on a tranquil journey through the cosmos.
Furthermore, The Sleep Space excels in providing valuable insights into space and astro-mechanics. Astrum's expertise shines through as he explains complex topics in an easily understandable manner, making it accessible to both space enthusiasts and those with little prior knowledge. Whether it's discussing celestial bodies, explaining astronomical phenomena, or delving into the intricacies of space exploration, each episode leaves you feeling enlightened and intellectually satisfied.
However, no production is without some minor flaws. One aspect that could be improved upon is the frequency of new episodes. As a devoted listener eager for more content from Astrum, I often find myself longing for regular releases. Although quality over quantity is undoubtedly important, a more consistent release schedule would greatly enhance my overall experience as a listener.
In conclusion, The Sleep Space from Astrum is an outstanding podcast that provides invaluable educational content while also serving as a perfect relaxation tool. Its ability to combine calming narration with insightful visuals creates an unparalleled experience that transports listeners into the vast expanse of space. While there may be room for improvement in terms of episode frequency, this minor flaw does not overshadow the exceptional quality of this production. As a long-time fan, I highly recommend The Sleep Space to anyone interested in space exploration, astronomical wonders, or simply seeking a serene escape from the stresses of life.

In December 2024, a group of 38 scientists came together to warn the rest of mankind about a seemingly-innocent but deadly threat… mirror life. Born from the fundamental asymmetry that underpins many molecules on Earth, mirror life is a rapidly-developing area of research that scientists say we must put a stop to now – or suffer the consequences. But what actually is mirror life? Why has this gotten the science community so worried? And what would really happen if we crossed this biological milestone?
