The Daily Space, a podcast produced by PSI’s CosmoQuest, has been recognized as a finalist
in the Second Annual Signal Awards in the Individual Episodes – Science & Education
category. The Signal Awards honor and celebrate the people and content that raise the bar
for podcasting.
“This nomination is extra special because this show was created during the pandemic and
we all work remotely from different states,” said Pamela Gay, Director of CosmoQuest and The Daily Space lead writer and host. “We demonstrated that good content can come out
when people work together through video and chat apps like Discord. The future is online.”
The Daily Space is produced by PSI’s Ally Pelphrey, with interviews and hosting by PSI’s
Beth Johnson, Annie Wilson, and Erik Madeus. We are also grateful for volunteer assistance
on aerospace content from Gordon Dewis.
The Daily Space was a daily 30-minute show that started as a Twitch stream, and evolved
into a podcast and TV show on NowMedia.tv. This award is for an episode in the last season
of the show. The team behind the Daily Space is now producing regular seasons of a 1-hour
weekly news show, Escape Velocity Space News.
