omega tau

Omega tau is a science and technology podcast produced by Markus Voelter. He covers events, theories and his experiences. There are live reports 'in the field' and interviews. This would be a useful podcast for motivated students of science and tech in the upper years of secondary and at college or university. Markus, the producer, says, "I talk about everything that I find interesting, specifically science, technology and such. Omega tau targets people interested in technology, but not necessarily scientists, a little bit like popular science. We've had episodes on flying sailplanes, suborbital space, weather forecasts, Earthrace, and computational thinking. The podcast is a mix between English and German episodes, but there are feeds available for each language separately."
