I didn't have to fill in any forms, just got a message telling me I had a refund as I over paid this year.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe - https://www.theskepticsguide.org/podcasts - Fun science and critical thinking podcast. Has been around for over 10 years. Worth it just for the Science or Fiction game each week.

Escape Pod - http://escapepod.org/category/podcasts/ - Weekly science fiction podcast magazine. The quality and variety of the stories is amazing. I have found lots of new authors via the stories from this podcast. (Also has Pseudopod for horror fiction, PodCastle for fantasy, and Cast of Wonders for YA fiction)

The Infinite Monkey Cage - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00snr0w/episodes/downloads - Witty, irreverent look at the world through scientists' eyes. From the BBC with Brian Cox and Robin Ince.

Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe - https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-daniel-and-jorge-explain-... - A fun-filled discussion of the big, mind-blowing, unanswered questions about the Universe. By a CERN Physicist (Daniel) and the author of PhD Comics (Jorge).

LRC Presents: All the President's Lawyers - https://www.kcrw.com/news/shows/lrc-presents-all-the-preside... - An in-depth and often humorous look at President Trump's Legal issues. I know, not quite the normal HN sort of content, but worth it.

FiveThirtyEight Politics - https://fivethirtyeight.com/tag/politics-podcast/ - A geeky look at (mostly US) politics and polling.

Talk Nerdy with Cara Santa Maria - https://www.carasantamaria.com/podcast - "conversations with interesting people about interesting topics". Cara is an great science communicator and is well worth listening to on this and the The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe podcast.

"At launch, Disney+ will include 7,500 episodes, including from 25 original series; 400 library movie titles; and 100 recent theatrical films releases, according to Agnes Chu, senior VP of content, Disney+. That includes exclusive rights to all 30 seasons of "The Simpsons," which Disney obtained through the acquisition of 21st Century Fox. In year five of Disney+, the company expects to have an annual production slate of some 50 originals, Chu said. Disney+ will be an ad-free service, supported solely by subscription fees. It's going to have a wide platform footprint, spanning game consoles, smart TVs and connected streaming devices, including Roku and PlayStation 4, said Michael Paull, president of Disney Streaming Services (formerly BAMTech)."

For those asking if there is demand for small rockets that can be sent up often.

"Australian start-up Fleet Space Technologies sent up two satellites ... Fleet has spent all year waiting to hitch rides on rockets from SpaceX and the Indian government ... About six weeks ago, it found out there was room on the Rocket Lab rocket. Typically, it takes months or years to get satellites ready, installed and certified for launch, but in this new era of cheap, fast space, Fleet got its hardware on board in record time."
