<\/a><\/figure>NASA\u2019s audio storytelling reached new frontiers in 2024, with Spotify Wrapped revealing the agency\u2019s podcasts as a favorite among listeners worldwide. In celebration of the milestone, NASA astronaut Nick Hague spoke with Spotify about what space sounded like this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cMusic is one of those things that connects us to the planet,\u201d said Hague, in the video released on Spotify and NASA social accounts<\/a>. \u201cMusic is a vital part of life up here. The soundtrack up here, it\u2019s just going all the time. Everybody\u2019s got their own flavor of music. Every Friday night the crew gets together, we turn on music and we stream things that we like. Whether they\u2019re into pop or hard rock, it\u2019s an international mix. When I think of space walks, I think of classical music, slow, methodical tunes, because that is the way that we conduct spacewalks. Slowly and methodically. Classical music captures the essence of, just floating in space.\u201d<\/p>\n With listeners in more than 100 countries, NASA podcasts reached new audiences and inspired people around the world on Spotify this year. Other 2024 highlights included:<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to have our space-centric content featured in Spotify Wrapped 2024,\u201d said Brittany Brown, director of digital communications, NASA Headquarters in Washington. \u201cOur collaboration with Spotify is a testament to NASA\u2019s commitment to producing innovative and engaging content. We\u2019re excited to see how audiences continue to respond to this unique listening experience only NASA can provide.\u201d<\/p>\n The agency\u2019s podcasts cover a wide range of topics, including in-depth conversations with NASA astronauts, stories that take audiences on a tour of the galaxy, and Spanish-language content.<\/p>\n \u201cMusic, just like space, connects us all,\u201d said Katie Konans, audio program lead, eMITS contract with NASA. \u201cOur partnership with Spotify has allowed NASA to share the wonder and excitement of space with music and podcast lovers globally. This year, we\u2019re thrilled to take this connection to new heights by bringing the Spotify Wrapped 2024 conversation beyond planet Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n NASA released its collection of original podcasts on Spotify in 2023, furthering the agency\u2019s mission to engage the Artemis Generation in the science, space exploration, and discovery.<\/p>\n In addition to Spotify, users may find NASA podcasts on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and Soundcloud.<\/p>\n Discover all of NASA\u2019s podcasts at:<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/podcasts<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n -end-<\/p>\n Abbey Donaldson\n
