Just finished watching John Horgan speaking with PZ Myers on Science Saturday (70 mins). Highly recommended.
Contrary to all expectations, PZ neither sports horns nor spouts fire. In fact, entre nous, I think he looks a little bit like me!

I must have been living with my head buried in the sand. I am totally addicted to podcasts, but, until I read yesterday’s Blog Go the Heads announcement on the Cosmic Variance weblog, I had never even heard of Bloggingheads.tv.
What a fantastic concept! Two side-by-side talking heads having a conversation via video link. And what a great show too: the one of the aforementioned Cosmic Variance’s resident (astro)physicists, Sean Carroll, in a 79-minute conversation with science writer George Johnson about string theory, religion, love, the anthropic principle, and old photographic plates. Two highly intelligent people having a highly intelligent conversation about science.
It’s the future of television.
