Talking Head TV interview

Yesterday I did an interview over the phone for Talking Head TV, and it’s already online! We talked about JREF, the book (due out in less than two months!), and the blog. Justin Young and the THTV crew created a video from the call, and put it up in three parts on YouTube. Here’s Part 1, and the other two are linked from there (but are here and here to make it easier on you). You can also grab it from iTunes, too.

Someone tell Wil about the shirt I’m wearing in the first part of the first video…

Obviously THTV is using the “Dan Quayle spellchecker”.

J/P=?

And while I’m at it, I have a few things to say about Murphy Brown cavalier attitude toward child rearing….

I really do apologize to Phil for the mix-up. The last two videos are only uploaded for you guys so I am going to replace it with clean “e-free” editions tonight.

Hope you guys liked them otherwise.

Rats!!….Just watched the video again, I could have sworn I heard Phil mention the science blogs as collectives, maybe it was in part 2, or even part 3.

A while back, I suggested that with the new JREF presidency on top of everything else, Phil Plait should change his name to Full Plate. Now I see that Talking Head TV has changed his name to Phil Plaite, I guess we’re one step closer to my suggestion coming true.
Either that, or Phil is all tied up in knots at the moment.
IOW, he’s beel plaited…
Bwa ha ha!
