The Astropotamus joined me on the Star River on Feb 16, 2026.

Let's see where the currents took us...

I'm a time traveler. Find out why on the Star River podcast. Join the current as we share a drink and track the cosmic history that connects us all.

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.

Join the journey:

  • Subscribe: Be the first to hear our upcoming conversations
  • The Ritual: Grab a drink, find your place in the flow, and wade into the current
  • Connect: Join your fellow travelers on our Star River Discord

So raise a glass, and let's see where the River takes us.
