SpaceTime – A brief history
SpaceTime is Australia’s most respected astronomy and space science news program – averaging well over two million downloads per year. The show reports on the latest stories and discoveries making news in astronomy, spaceflight, and science. SpaceTime features interviews with leading Australian scientists about their latest research. The show began life in 1995 as ‘StarStuff’ on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC) NewsRadio network. Award-winning investigative reporter Stuart Gary created the program during more than fifteen years as NewsRadio’s evening anchor and Science Editor. Gary – who had been invited to undertake a PhD in Astronomy – wrote, produced and hosted StarStuff, consistently achieving 9 per cent of the national Australian radio audience (based on the ABC’s Neilsen rating survey figures for the five major Australian metro markets: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth). The StarStuff podcast was published online by ABC Science – achieving over 1.3 million downloads annually. However, after some 20 years, the show finally wrapped up in December 2015 following ABC funding cuts, and after a redirection of available finances to increase sport and horse racing coverage. Rather than continue with the ABC, Gary resigned so that he could continue the show independently. The show was rebranded as SpaceTime, with the first episode being broadcast in February 2016. Over the years, SpaceTime has grown, doubling its former ABC audience numbers and expanding to include new segments such as the Science Report – which provides a wrap of general science news, weekly skeptical science features, special reports looking at the latest technology, and Skywatch – which provides a monthly guide to the night skies. The show is now published three times a week and is also available from the United States National Science Foundation on Science Zone Radio and through both i-heart Radio and Tune-In Radio.
