My old pal Richard Saunders from Australia skyped me up (which sounds dirtier than it is) and we chatted about doomsday prophecies — 2012, mostly, but also all the endless failed predictions of years gone by — for his podcast The Skeptic Zone (you can grab the MP3 here too). It’s always fun to chat with Richard. We’ve known each other a long time (as you can tell by the picture of the two of us there — click to southernhemispherenate) and I think that helps.
I also gush a bit about the live stuff I’m doing with Fraser Cain on Google+, including astronomy news roundups every Thursday, and live video telescope viewing via webcams. My part starts at about 12:30 in, but you should listen to the whole thing. It’s a good podcast, and he has an adorable accent.
Do you listen to the Australian podcast The Skeptic Zone? You should. It’s run by my old buddy Richard Saunders, and deals with matter that extend well beyond the borders of Down Under.
And it just so happens I’m interviewed on the latest episode (you can also grab the MP3). Maynard and I talked about Bad Universe (playing right now in Oz), asteroid impacts, Tunguska, UFOs, and other cosmic topics.
A slightly different version of the interview is also posted on ABC (Australia) site. About 5 minutes into this version we chat about George Hrab, too. You won’t hear me sing (well, not exactly), but I do perform with George on a song.
Give ‘em a go, mate! Good on ya!
Shortly after Dragon*Con, my friend and Aussie skeptic Richard Saunders came to Boulder and stayed with us for a few days. We hiked, and hung out, and chatted, and… something else. What was it again?
Oh yeah! He interviewed me for his podcast, The Skeptic Zone. We talked about Saturn, citizen science, the good old days of skepticism, and of course "Bad Universe". Give it a listen! And you can grab the MP3 directly here.
While I was at The Amaz!ng Meeting 8 in Las Vegas in July, I was interviewed by my friends Richard Saunders and Rachael Dunlop from The Skeptic Zone, the premier critical thinking podcast in Australia.
We talked about TAM Oz, Minties, telescopes, WIMPs and MACHOs, the LHC, Brian Cox, and Gia Milinovitch, and my no-longer Sooper Sekrit Project.
You can grab the interview at the Skeptic Zone website, and here’s a direct link to the MP3.
When I was in Florida for Carl Sagan Day, I was happy to see my friend Rachel Dunlop ("Dr. Rachie") from Australia was there too. She was in Miami, heard about the event at the last minute, and drove (on the wrong side of the road) to Ft. Lauderdale to attend.
Rachel is one of the many people who puts together the Skeptic Zone podcast, and she snagged a bunch of interviews at the celebration, including with D.J. Grothe, Randi, me… and my mom. Yes, my mother was there, and D.J. made sure she got to be in the interview as well. You can listen and comment on the podcast, and if you like it why not subscribe to the podcast via iTunes?
