To inaugurate the publishing of selected SloohRadio episodes here on the Slooh Skylog, we picked a great recent episode of Bob Berman’s Monday night SloohRadio classic, “Bob Berman’s Strange Universe.” Those of you who’ve been around awhile know that Bob’s show has been a regular feature here on Slooh (with a few interruptions!) since almost the beginning.
In this episode, Bob interacts with the Slooh Chat Room to explore a wide range of topics including:
- The nature of space. What we think is empty…isn’t!
- Commentary on Slooh Missions as they happen (audio only, but video in the future!)
- The causality of certain Earth phenomena and the possible role of the Moon.
- The official Bob Berman pronunciation guide for the 20 brightest stars.
- “Stump the Chat Room” where Bob challenges the Slooh members to identify sometimes-obscure astronomy and physics terms.
As always, Bob employs his frenzy of factual connections and insights to show us that the Universe is a graceful place after all.
You can link directly to the podcast using the links at the end of this article. Even better, you can subscribe to this and future podcasts using a number of techniques:
- If you use ITunes, simply search for “Slooh” in the Podcast section of the ITunes Store or click here (don’t worry, Slooh podcasts are free!). Once you find the entry, click on the subscribe button. Anytime we publish a new podcast, ITunes will automatically download it and, if so equipped, sync it to your IPhone or IPod.
- For other “Podcatching” software, simply point it to: http://www.slooh.com/blog/?feed=podcast
For now we will be publishing podcasts here on the blog. Eventually, we’ll move them to an archive page for future posterity.
Watch for more podcasts, and even video podcasts, in the near future; and of course, Keep Looking Up!
