Jeremy Hansen Podcasts

Most podcast coverage of Jeremy Hansen folds him into the larger Artemis II story. Only one show names him in an episode title, so anyone looking for sustained attention has one clear destination. Elsewhere, he appears within mission reports, technical explainers and broader conversations about what space travel means.

That makes the coverage useful in a particular way. You can hear one focused treatment of Hansen, then follow the mission around him through shows with very different rhythms. Direct coverage is thin.

One conversation with Hansen at the centre

The Interview is the obvious first stop. Jeremy Hansen, astronaut: Moon mission shows best of humanity puts him and the episode's central idea right in the title.

The show's measured pace suits a subject that could easily be buried under spectacle. Its interviewer tends to ask plain questions, leave room for substantial answers and challenge without turning the exchange into theatre. This show offers the closest thing here to a Hansen-led conversation.

Following Artemis II instead

13 Minutes Presents: Artemis II takes the serial route. Its episodes move through distinct parts of the mission in Artemis II: 10. How to train your astronaut, Artemis II: 9. Bye bye, fly-by and Artemis II: 13. Splashdown. Hansen is part of that wider story rather than the advertised subject. Start here if sequence matters more to you than personality.

Science Friction (ABC) stays with mission milestones in 07 | Artemis Explained: Moon flyby success and 11 | Artemis Explained: Mission accomplished. The show's two-host conversation is unhurried and comfortable with technical material, but it usually reaches the mechanics through a human story. That makes it a better fit for curious listeners than for anyone chasing a quick news recap.

NASA's Curious Universe offers another mission-first path through Update: Artemis II Crew Flies Around the Moon and How NASA's Moon Mission Returns to Earth. Neither title promises a Hansen profile. They are useful companion episodes when the flight itself is the attraction.

Faster updates and looser company

Astronomy Daily: Space News Updates treats Artemis II as developing space news. No Course Correction Needed: Artemis II Day 3 Update + Comet MAPS Perihelion Report shares the running order with a comet report, while Artemis II: Homeward Bound and The Lost Mars Mission pairs the return journey with a separate Mars story. Expect Hansen to appear in the flow of updates, not to hold the whole episode.

The Last Show with David Cooper is the lighter option. Artemis Splashdown; Microplastic Oops; Ancient Eyes on Heads tells you exactly how much company the mission keeps. The show likes jokes, digressions and plain-language explanations, so its passing Hansen material comes wrapped in a much shaggier hour.

More McGrady with Katie pulls the mission toward reflection in What did we learn from Artemis II? Its Catholic talk-radio voice is personal and associative, often turning a news event into a question about dignity, service or wonder. Hansen remains a passing presence here, but the treatment is warmer than a conventional briefing.

Where to start

With the only episode that clearly places Hansen himself at the centre, The Interview comes first. Continue with 13 Minutes Presents: Artemis II for the mission in chapters, or Science Friction (ABC) for a slower technical conversation. Choose The Last Show with David Cooper when you would rather hear the space story with jokes and detours intact.
