Friendly conversations with scientists, authors, developers, and more…
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a friendly, casual conversation with some of the greatest scientists, authors, and developers around the globe advancing the human race? Have you ever wanted to learn about science in a friendly and informal way, without getting bogged down by technical jargon and complex equations? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you should check out The Cosmic Companion.
Join James G. Maynard for our (nearly) weekly original full-length video and podcast show, The Cosmic Companion, featuring interviews with leading experts and celebrities in the field of astronomy and space exploration. Each episode of our show features a friendly “dinner table conversation” with one or more of the guests, where they share their insights, stories, and opinions on various topics related to the cosmos.
We also create and produce award-winning short films, including The AI Man, a redux of the Buster Keaton classic, The Cameraman, set in our age of generative artificial intelligence. Future films include our first feature-length film, Gaia Rising. And – just announced – the upcoming too-long-for-a-short-film-and-too-short-for-a-feature-film light-hearted Medieval murder mystery, The Wizard and the Scholar (or, a Rapscallion Runs Amok in Rye). Subscribe for updates as they happen!
Help support The Cosmic Companion with a VIP subscription to our newsletter, where you can get access to exclusive content and perks, such as media from the show not available to the pubic, high-resolution versions of our original astrophotography, advance guest announcements and more.
The sky is not the limit — the sky is just the just the beginning!
