Ikono-fantastic podcasts in the works

Mike Haubrich and I just taped an interview with space-robot expert and planetary geologist Emily Lakdawalla. Emily writes a blog at the Planetary Society, where she goes in depth on stuff that is happening in space, focusing on human-controlled robots on Mars, but covering a lot of other stuff too. The interview will be on Ikonokast in a day or two.

And we've arranged to interview Ethan Siegal of Starts with a Bang blog on Scienceblogs, and author of Beyond the Galaxy: How Humanity Looked Beyond Our Milky Way and Discovered the Entire Universe, in which I hope to ask him about this crazy Dark Matter theory which was clearly made up to explain all the bad data in the universe!

You mean the scienceblogs web page? Sounds crazy. I think they are working on optimizing things, maybe this is the pre-optimized behavior.

What browser/OS/etc? I'll pass that info on to our overlords.

Marvellous. Cannot wait to see it. :-D
