Blast off into the Podisphere with TGP NOMINAL,
Your monthly look at all things Science Fact & Science Fiction.
TGP NOMINAL is brought to you by the creative force behind the European Podcast Award nominated,
The Garbage POD (TGP) podcast.
We launched Episode 1.1 of TGP NOMINAL to coincide with World Space Week 2014 and it proved to be a success with the visitors to the World Space Week website.
We chose 'TGP NOMINAL' as the name of the podcast, because NOMINAL is a positive term used during rocket launches. Originally we wanted to call it “TGP Throttle Up” but we thought that it might be a bad omen and may also conjure up bad memories for some in the space community.
What can you expect from TGP NOMINAL?
Well, our Podcast covers Astronomy, Science and Technology news along side news from the world of Sci-Fi, Comic-Cons and Gaming. Whether it be on the big screen, small screen or in print, we will cover it.
At TGP NOMINAL we like to endorse S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths) Education,
so we have been working along side UK Astronomy, an Astronomy based charity,
who's founder 'Ross Hockham BCAe' has become our resident astronomer.
So, every month, we launch the TGP NOMINAL Sky Guide into the Podisphere,
where Ross comes on board to bring you his unique guide to the cosmos, for the month ahead.
Dan Pye, Director of Astronomy and Science Communication at the Kielder Observatory also joins the equation with his Objects Of The Month.
We also have TGP NOMINAL Xtra, special editions of the podcast, where we bring you exciting content that won't keep until the next episode (for example interviews with TV Show Creators or Event Organisers, prior to the event or broadcast taking place).
We are building a network of contributors who will be representing TGP NOMINAL at places of interest and social events, so we can bring you content from them.
Since October 2016, we have been collaborating with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center to bring our listeners amazing interviews with key personnel involved with their missions, and since 2020,
The European Space Agency (ESA) came on board also.
From our Launch Pad, we will keep you informed of when rocket launches take place and put up links to the relevant space agencies or corporations behind the launches. If there are live streams for the launches, we will advise you of the best web sites to view them from via our Twitter and Facebook feeds.
We also have our LaunchPad Xtra section, which covers all manner of different topics, from unbelievable advances in Spaceflight Technology to once in a blue moon Celestial Phenomena.
We have recently created our Youtube Channel, which includes our Objects Of The Month Playlist where we have asked guests from the world of astronomy whether they have a favourite celestial body that they would like to share with our listeners. We thought it would an awesome idea to share these with a different audience, so we have uploaded them to Youtube.
We are always looking for new submissions to Objects Of The Month.
So, whether you are a budding Astronomer or an Astrophysicist, We would love to hear from you!
