About Houston We Have a Podcast

The official podcast of NASA's Johnson Space Center: unscripted interviews with astronauts, flight directors, and engineers. This is authentic professional conversation at full speed — the hardest dialogue material in the library, and the closest match to IELTS Section 3 discussions.

Sarah Smith, a NASA intern, interviews students who were recently selected to fly their experiments to the International Space Station as part of the program under NASA’s STEM on Station initiative called Student Payload Opportunity with Citizen Science, or SPOCS. HWHAP Episode 2
