On the 39th episode of exocast:

• Andrew chats with UC Irvine’s radial velocity expert (and occasional planet-killer) Dr Paul Robertson in the Exocast Studio.
• Hannah outlines how the 2019 ExoCup is going to play out, and Hugh performs the draw for the first round “live” on air.
• And Hugh reports from the Exocast news desk on arXiv’s wackiest exoplanet papers from the past month, plus we chat about Mayor & Queloz winning the 2019 Nobel prize for physics.
• Finally, our special guest Paul gives a personal plea to include Kepler-22b as an exocast Adopted planet.
