Shen Ge (aka Rocket Man) hosts SG2 on Space LIVE every week from Houston, Texas with his cohost Dr. Leonard Kramer. Jump in the discussion on all things space-related with Shen and his frequent co-host Leonard Kramer as well as the occasional guest. Hear about those entrepreneurs who create new tech in the space frontier, chat on the physics of the great unknown, open up with some space poetry, and learn a little astrobiology or AKA "Shen Just Wants to Talk About Aliens". Remember the catchphrase: Look up! You never know what you might see!
As an example, here's a popular episode with Dr. Leonard Kramer on 23 MAR 2022 discussing James Webb Space Telescope:

I am improving the show all the time and can use your support to take it to next step with segments on creative space (poetry), space cowboys (entrepreneurship) and astrobiology (aliens). There will be descriptions of each intro to these segments -- both audio and video. Support Rocket Man and Houston’s only weekly space show on Patreon.
