StarStuff, hosted by Stuart Gary, is an excellent broadcast, enjoyed by an international audience. This is a watershed moment, when discoveries about our solar system, our galaxy, the wider universe, and space itself have become daily news. Now more than ever we need programs like StarStuff, which is among the very best, to keep us well informed.

It is the ABCs responsibility to broadcast as wide a range of topics as possible. As it is funded by the taxpayer and does not need to cowtow to the foibles of ratings or bow to the lowest common denominator, it should not only maintain it's broadcast of StarStuff, it should extend it. Either that, or sell advertising and stop feeding at the taxpayer trough.

Stuff Stuff is educational in sciences and has an in depth detail of astronomy and it's news. Their are other astronomy radio shows overseas, although Star Stuff is Australian. The show is also much higher quality and sufficient length.

Keep star stuff alive without cutting back on costs.

As a frequent listener to News Radio, 'sport' is always an immediate 'turn off'. Star Stuff was always in the 'must listen to' box. Let's have some real & worthwhile news of current scientific developments not just who is best at exerting themselves. Animals do that; quite well.

Not everyone on the ABC has an MP3 player.

Please Return Staff stuff to the radio.

I use to listen to Starstuff on the weekend evening 11pm time slot and if I missed it I would tune in on Monday midday.

Then it was moved to Sunday midday.
Then it disappeared.

A sure way to destroy a program regular audience is to keep moving the program.

Please put it back on the radio.

The response from the general media and public has been enormous and somewhat beyond belief to me. TV interviews, newspapers, radio - most of them were not even aware that we could witness such an event! The public want to know about their universe, presented in a manner that is both interesti ng and exciting - please Keep Starstuff.
