We're sad to share the news of Sandy Wood’s passing on February 15th.
During her time with us, Sandy voiced more than 10,000 episodes of StarDate Radio. For many, her warm and engaging descriptions of the Universe’s countless wonders inspired a life-long love of astronomy and an introduction to McDonald Observatory.
Sandy’s voice carried StarDate programming to millions across the nation for 28 years, starting in 1991. She first began her broadcasting career in the 1960s, serving as a radio DJ, talk show host, and voice talent for local, regional, and national clients, including NASA. She retired from StarDate in 2019, and we continued to share with her the many well wishes received from fans in the following years.
With her passing, we have lost a tremendous talent and wonderful person.
