Comments on: You always were a slacker, McFly http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2005/04/12/you-always-were-a-slacker-mcfly/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Shame on you, BA. :P That was a nice 13 minutes, that's for sure. I liked it! Finally I heard a chat with the BA! ...Can you listen to the full hour without a pod? Oh my! you said lots of bad words!

…Can you listen to the full hour without a pod?

Downloaded the full hour, but haven't listened yet. I haven't caught Coast-to-Coast AM either, so it was cool to hear the bad astronomer himself via podcast.

Never heard of "Podcasting" until today but I knew it had to have something to do with Ipods. I guess it's going to be a possible new medium. Who knows, perhaps we will have Astronomy "Podcasts" by Jack Horkheimer? And while we are talking of Ipods and such ( because I work in the electronics industry ) here is a little tip for anyone who has a car stereo and wants to hook up an Ipod: Don't go taking it out of your car to install it via aux or audio outputs! Just go down to your local Radio Shack or another electronics store and buy an FM/Modulator. These work on the same principle as do the Sirius Satellite Radios in that you tune to and FM station and it plays. This adapter will plug into your Ipod and then into the ciggy lighter and you tune to a specific FM station. My company does not make Ipod Car Audio yet so that's how I know. We get calls like this from teens as well as twenty-somethings. Just thought it might come in handy! Good Luck with this! P. Edward Murray Past President Bucks-Mont.

It was a good rambling show - I listened to the full hour (and a bit). I liked the Dr. Nick impressions Phil.
