Apply to join us as a co-host! https://astrosoundbites.com/recruiting-2025 This week, Lucia, Cole and Cormac discuss cosmic sandwich kids: intermediate mass black holes. Where are they hiding? How do they form? And can they grow up to become supermassive black holes? To answer questions like these, we take a look at globular cluster simulations and a famous gravitational wave event: GW190521. The discussion takes us to alien civilisations in the far, far future.  From Globs to Gravitational Waves: A Simulated Cosmic Choreography https://astrobites.org/2025/06/19/from-globs-to-gravitational-waves-a-simulated-cosmic-choreography/ Uncovering Precession for GW190521: How the Last Cycle Cracked the Case https://astrobites.org/2025/06/21/precession_gw190521/ Space Sound: https://soundcloud.com/esa/sound-of-a-juice-boom-deploying The clock ticking sound is by “opticalnoise” on freedsound.org (https://freesound.org/people/opticalnoise/sounds/201194/).

"There are no new feelings, just new words." The Irish DJ talks about finding commonality in polarising times, CSD weekend and his podcast, Queerly Beloved. In Berlin, the end of July means one thing: CSD, AKA Christopher Street Day. Commemorating New York's historic Stonewall Riots of 1969, this raucous weekender is a yearly celebration of the queer community and LGBTQIA+ rights. The Irish DJ and podcast host Cormac is committed to documenting queer history. As host of Queerly Beloved, he conducts candid interviews with queer DJs and producers about the music industry, sexuality and mental health. But in this week's RA Exchange, Cormac is the one on the couch. He speaks about growing up gay in a conservative Irish town and navigating homophobic environments as a young person. He found solace in the dance music scene—which he said saved him—but he also found drugs and alcohol, which he used to manage his battle with depression and shame. Many years of substance abuse forced him to go sober and to prioritise his mental health. Cormac said he worried that quitting partying would end his sex life and music career. Instead, it was just the beginning. Over the course of more than two decades, Cormac has accumulated a loving legion of fans as a DJ, known for playing disco, 80s high NRG and flamboyant tunes that he describes as "poppers music." His label Polari—a reference to the secret language used by queer people throughout history—will release his new single, "Gone," on July 25th, with remixes from Ewan Pearson and Fred Terror. It's also raising funds for Berlin and London-based trans charities Casa Kua and Not A Phase. Listen to the episode in full. -Chloe Lula

Jennifer's brother Jason Poole spoke to Cormac.

In part 1 of our summer series centered on the 2025 AIA Conference on Architecture, we discuss Evan's first visit to Boston and share his and Cormac's impressions of the city.Rather than focusing on CEUs or presentations, we explore how the AIA Conference continues to serve as a powerful gathering place for the profession. The serendipity of in-person meetups, the nuance of hallway conversations, and the inspiration found in real-world architecture make it a unique moment in the calendar year.Whether you made it to Boston or not, this episode captures the essence of what makes architectural travel and community engagement so energizing. It's a reminder that often the most meaningful aspects of being an architect happen outside the office—walking the streets of a great city or reconnecting with colleagues over drinks after years apart.Episode Links:Evelyn Lee, FAIA - AIA 2025 PresidentArcolArchistarUpcodesHotel Marcel-----Have a question for the hosts?

Angela joins me for two hours of fun that ends with smart rats sniffing out landmines. But before that we get to America's most dangerous national parks, Cormac from Ireland sharing his countries "anchor baby" solution, a Big Beautiful Bill update and a whole lot more.

Cormac came to Canada from Clonsilla, Dublin in 2010 (one of the few times it wasn't fun to be in Dublin) and has settled into a Canadian banking career over the last 15 years. Cormac is currently an Executive Vice President and Partner at Stonebridge Financial, a Toronto based asset manager.  Since coming to Canada, he has been a player and treasurer with St. Pats GAA and recently chaired the Ireland Funds St. Patrick's Day luncheon coming out of COVID. He's also been known to pull a pint for a I/CAN and support various Irish ex-pat community initiatives across the city. Cormac is a long-time resident of the east end with his wife and Toronto Irish Players secretary, Sue Murphy. When he's not pushing pennies, Cormac enjoys some downtime skiing, golfing, hiking (with Pixie the cockapoo) or preparing for the next Hyrox race.I would still encourage people to download the episodes and to share them with friends and family. Downloads are the easiest indicator for me to gauge how many people I am reaching with these conversations so I would really appreciate it.

The more things change, the more they, uh, change. This episode Cole, Shashank, and Cormac cover the exciting events that change what we see on the night sky. Ancient astronomers tracked the motions of the planets and the arrival of “guest stars” (supernovae), and nowadays we're lucky enough to see some really wild and energetic events. Cormac gives us a view into what happens when a star punches through a black hole's accretion disc, Shashank shows us a particularly persnickety pulsar, and Cole gets his twenty minute monologue on modern classical music cut for time.    Astrobites: This Pulsar Has Mood Swings https://astrobites.org/2025/05/21/this-pulsar-has-mood-swings/   X-treme X-rays in an X-tra young system https://astrobites.org/2025/04/16/x-treme-x-rays-in-an-x-tra-young-system/   Space Sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2_3RgX-RIY&list=PPSV   Gif of Sagittarius A* we mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0QRpid5_QU

What makes architecture memorable? Why do some spaces hit you in the chest while others feel hollow? In this episode of Archispeak, we explore a concept that's rarely taught but deeply felt. Genius loci. The spirit of the place.From volunteering as a docent at Frank Lloyd Wright's Home and Studio to taking a group of recent grads on an architectural pilgrimage through Chicago, Cormac shares stories that tie memory, mentorship, and emotion to design. Along the way, we discuss how the demands of modern practice often push this spirit aside in favor of speed, budgets, and repeatability.Together, we wrestle with what it means to create architecture that belongs—architecture that understands its context, uplifts the human experience, and becomes part of the emotional fabric of our lives. If you've ever stood in a space and simply felt something you couldn't explain, this one's for you.-----Have a question for the hosts?

In today's episode, Cormac, Cole and Lucia catch you up with all things Citizen Science. In the epoch of ChatGPT, Grok and Gemini (no, not the telescope), it's easy to forget about the 20 Watt computer you're using to read this sentence. Yes, even YOU can contribute to cutting-edge astronomical research, as we present two examples of cosmic crowdfunding in action. Cole convinces us that nearby galaxies need some Clump Scouts, and Lucia shows us how volunteers have been the (tur)key to finding a new star-studded dwarf galaxy. We also discuss the non-research benefits of democratising science, and in a fourth-wall-shattering pivot, we ask you, yes YOU, what you'd like to hear more of on a[s]b. astrosoundbites@gmail.com Astrobites: https://astrobites.org/2024/07/29/galaxy-zoo-clump-scout/ https://astrobites.org/2023/11/18/a-lonely-little-galaxy-at-the-edge-of-our-neighborhood/ Space Sound: Adapted from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6vbST9iMOU XKCD Comic: https://xkcd.com/1425/ Article about the (not so?) amateur astronomer: https://astro.arizona.edu/news/tucson-doctor-wins-national-award-his-second-act-amateur-astronomer

That stars die will be old news for most listeners. But sometimes, stars don't just die, they get ripped apart by supermassive black holes. Cormac, Cole and Lucia discuss these so-called tidal disruption events. Specifically, how these events are connected to X-ray absorption features called extreme coronal lines. The hosts also take a look at one of the true superstars of supernova remnants: the Crab Nebula. As it turns out, studying the ejecta can give clues about the pulsar at the heart of the nebula.

Shoot, someone made the mistake of letting Cole pick the episode topic. In this episode, Cole, Cormac, and Shashank talk about the big boy on cosmology campus: Lambda CDM. This model has gotten a bit too big for its britches we think: what are the things about the universe that this model can't explain? Shashank gives us a tour through the dark matter hearts of galaxies which don't match up with cosmological predictions and Cormac shows us how 1500 (ish? We're not clear on this one.) supernovae could hint at a fundamental flaw in Lambda CDM.   Astrobites: Testing cosmology with the DES 5-year supernovae dataset: https://astrobites.org/2024/03/22/template-post-21/   Digging into the Core: Dark Matter and Dwarf Galaxies https://astrobites.org/2015/07/14/digging-into-the-core-dark-matter-and-dwarf-galaxies/   Space Sound: Listen to the hum of NANOGrav's gravitational wave background https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGO0wQK9ns4

She corresponds with the young guy and eventually decides he's the right person to tell her story, which is a love story that began almost half a century ago, when she was a homeless 16 year-old girl who randomly met a not yet famous author in his 40s sitting by the pool at a run-down motel in New Mexico. Crazy, wild love story/lifelong friendship commences. Young guy writes this forbidden love story, publishes it in Vanity Fair in prissy, easily offended 2024, and all hell breaks loose.Vincenzo's Substack is here.
