Over at bloggingheads, they've posted a video conversation between Peter Woit of Not Even Wrong and Sabine Hossenfelder of Backreaction. They talk about string theory a bit, as you might imagine, but also about a wide range of issues in math and physics, and math- and physics-blogging.

The whole bloggingheads.tv thing is kind of an odd format, and I can't help wondering what it would be like. Maybe I should dig out the webcam that Kate's parents gave us, and see how it works...
