Comments on: AAAS report #3: Interview online http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2006/02/17/aaas-report-3-interview-online/ 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.

I finally had the time to sit and listen to the whole interview (Yeah, so I'm a little behind...what else is new?). Fantastic job. He did a great job as well...gave you the topic and then stepped back...didn't try to compete with you or dumb-down the subjects...although, it's always fun when the subjects dumb themselves down. This interview should be required listening for anyone who wants or needs an introduction to the work you do in the name of Science and critical thinking...and reasoning. I agree with the above comments about your voice (this time). On the other hand, it's even better when you do get abrasive and really let fly...always keeping your head and the science clean. Give 'em hell, my friend! Hey Phil! I finally had the time to sit and listen to the whole interview (Yeah, so I’m a little behind…what else is new?). Fantastic job.

You really do have a great radio voice--not whiney or abrasive which is a real plus, especially when talking about contentious subjects. You come across as confident and likeable. Don't change a thing. This was a good interview, Phil. You really do have a great radio voice–not whiney or abrasive which is a real plus, especially when talking about contentious subjects.

I got to listen to it on the way home from school. Have fun here in St. Louis and enjoy the Sub-freezing tempatures... It was nice to catch you on the radio instead of a recording.

Harris is a good interviewer and you two got through a lot of interesting topics. Do you have a ref. for the new NY times article you mentioned? Good interview.
