This is SO well done! Compelling, interesting, and very well-edited.

That's awesome. Really well done, engaging and interesting!

Odd to hear Tabetha Boyajian, and educated scientist, say, 'like... ya know, like... like, ya know' over and over again.  She speaks more like an MTV obsessed teenager.

I always come back to either of these podcasts as they are so enjoyable to listen to, could we get access to someone of the music, especially the song at 9:30.

Astronomers are perplexed by a mysterious star in the constellation Cygnus. Comet swarm? Dyson sphere? We just don't know. This is the story behind Tabby's Star. 

This episode was produced independently by me, Asher Isbrucker. 

Tabby's Star is also commonly referred to as the WTF Star (WTF comes from "Where's the Flux?", the name of Tabby's paper and a common expression of disbelief), and also its Kepler catalog number KIC 8462852.  

I’d like to thank all of the people who gave their time and lent their voices for this episode: Tabetha Boyajian (@tsboyajian), Jason Wright (@Astro_Wright), Andrew Siemion, Brad Schaefer, Ross Andersen (@andersen), and Daryll LaCourse. Big thanks to all of you. Thanks as well to Professor Jaymie Matthews. 

Music by Lee Rosevere, Corsica S, Chris Zabriskie, Sergey Cheremisinov, Little Glass Men, Lee Maddeford, and Ketsa.
