Sunday, September 23rd, Skeptically Speaking will record "before a life UStream audience" as per usual:
This week, we’re looking at film and video as an exciting, engaging way to communicate science to the public. Guest host Marie-Claire Shanahan spends the hour with independent film-maker and former BBC video journalist Brady Haran, and artist and filmmaker Henry Reich, creator of the Minute Physics YouTube series. They’ll discuss the promise and pitfalls of telling science stories in moving pictures.
We record live with Brady Haran and Henry Reich on Sunday, September 23 at 6 pm MT. The podcast will be available to download at 9 pm MT on Friday, September 28.
