I'm really excited about Skeptically Speaking this week

By gregladen on March 28, 2012.

Marie-Claire Shanahan is going t be interviewing David Dobbs about his book, Reef Madness: Charles Darwin, Alexander Agassiz, and the Meaning of Coral on Skeptically Speaking.

So, that would be one of my favorite people interviewing one of my favorite authors about one of my favorite books which is, in turn, about one of my favorite topics, on my absolutely favorite radio show/pod cast which is usually run and operated by one of my favorite people. Holy crap!

As you know, I interviewed David about this book on Bloggingheads a while back.

The interview will be on April 1st, Sunday at 6:00PM Mountain Time, and will be a podcast available on Friday of the same week. You can be part of the "live audience" on Sunday, and join the chat room. I'll see you there!

All the details can be found here.
