I hope that it's available on some other media. Alas, broadband Internet is not available here either. I only have iPhone and iPad, both through very limited cell phone data plans.

What happened to Barack Obama's broadband everywhere plans? In rural Michigan, it does not appear to be happening.

Plus, it sucks to be poor.

StarTalk will be available with a cable subscription the day after air on TV-VOD and TV Everywhere platforms, including NatGeoTV.com, Xbox1, Xbox 360, Samsung Connected TVs and Roku (Apple TV launching sometime in May). It is available for purchase the day after air on channels including Apple, Xbox, Vudu, Amazon, Google, Sony and on DVD at the end of season. Finally, each episode will be available on Hulu plus with subscription and classic for free, 30 days after air.

And if none of that works, you can always listen to it in podcast form from our website, iTunes, SoundCloud, Stitcher and TuneIn, or on Sirius XM Insight Channel 121.


I'm sorry, you will need high speed internet to watch the NatGeoTV version; but, you may be able to listen to podcasts of StarTalk radio.

At least when they are smaller than the 50MB cell phone data download limit. Star Talk is one of the few podcasts which regularly goes above that limit, so I don't get to listen to them all. Out here in the national forest we are a bit hampered.

And it's nice that they are streaming TV, but without broadband here that does me no good. And who has money for satellite radio, TV, or any of those other things?

I am lucky to have what I have.

Hopefully they won't cancel the audio podcasts.

(FWIW, I listen to Rachel Maddow every night because MS/NBC packages her program as an audio only podcast. Unfortunately, that's the only one from MS/NBC available that way.)

My best to you.

It will be available tomorrow then, do I have that right?

On edit...I found it, just caught the end but hopefully they'll replay or have it on demand. It didn't show up on search for some reason..

Thanks for the reminder!
