Hey thanks a lot for the notice. I missed the show but will download it when they put in up on the site.

There are many good shows on this site and they are easily downloadable. Perfect for listening to on my MP3 player on that long flight to Vegas for TAM II.

Pick up one of Joe Nickells books for the flight too! His handbook on how to be a psychic investigator is great for the layperson. Especially his chapter on how NOT to get your butt sued...

Since this thread started off about "Are We Alone?", I'll mention that I'll be on the show this coming Sunday, March 14. Seth Shostak and I will be talking about Hollywood aliens; what they get right and what they don't. It should be fun!
