Comments on: Get some Death, help some JREF http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/10/20/get-some-death-help-some-jref/ 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.

Phil, you have to do an audiobook. Actually, you should've already had it recorded by the time this came out, if you were thinking. Even after I read the book I will want a copy to listen to at work. I read Richard Dawkins' "The Ancestor's Tale" (my favorite book ever) a couple years back and I listen to the audiobook very often. If there is an audiobook, you better be the voice. I won't double-dip if it is not you. Rasputin, great question! Phil, you have to do an audiobook. Actually, you should’ve already had it recorded by the time this came out, if you were thinking.
