Animal Behavior, UC Davis No website, currently. Episode #31: The vocalizations of Humpback Whales, Dolphins, and Elephant Seals. An Amazing interview! In order to get as many sounds in the show as possible, he became the host and I became the engineer. Definitely a must-download! |

Berkeley, CA Episode #64: Intelligent Design, discussion with Ed Brayton. I added a special commentary to the end of the episode, debunking some of the statements made. Some were over the top. Also, listen for some crazy disco music from the original Battlestar Galactica Soundtrack… timed perfectly! |
| Dr. Ellis Jones |

 Sociologist, Author
UC Davis Episode #72: The Better World books, and the sociology of SciFi. I call him “California” Jones because he likes being called “Dr Jones” and is never seen without his hat.

Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions, Duke University Blogs: The Intersection, and Correlations Episode #78: Science Debate 2008 A fun person to talk to! We probably spent half of the time on the phone actually doing the interview, and the rest chatting about science journalism, science in politics, and the intimate details of sea cucumbers. Some of the sea cucumber details made it into the interview. |
