We're a day late thanks to the bank holiday, but this week Ian Sample takes the microphone to cover this week's big science news.
After the demotion of Pluto from planetary status, we talk to Harvard astronomer Owen Gingerich and meteorite hunter Phil Bland about the prospects for the solar system.
Also up for discussion are the latest ethical way around America's ban on embryonic stem cells, the early arrival of spring and genetically modified potatoes.
And don't miss James Randerson's encounters a scary robot in the wilds of Hertfordshire.

"...In an age when, you know...um, porn stars and general freaks are lauded by idiots on television for their talentless escapades, this man is a man who’s made a real contribution to the world".
Love your work James. Reinjecting a bit of reality into media broadcasting unlike, say, most reality television shows (you listening Russell Brand?) that fits nicely into the named category - talentless escapades.
Great podcast folks.
Cheers,
Jeremy
