Ad Astra presents a series of academic conversations with researchers on the history of astrology. It offers to a wider audience the main academic debates and works on the historical role of astrology in culture, science, and society. While it focuses primarily the historical study of astrological practices and methodologies, it also addresses other topics, such as current research, challenges, findings, astrological documents, new publications, and conferences.
The Ad Astra podcast is hosted by Helena Avelar and Luís Ribeiro, and is part of The Astra Project – http://theastraproject.org
