Alethea Kontis - The Most Amazing Podcast Ever:
Right -- so I did my very first podcast while Edmund and I were waiting to get into the Green Room Sunday night at Dragon*Con. It was kind of fun, and I didn't think much about it. (Steven Cobb said I did a good job, and of course, I didn't believe him.)

The podcast is now live at: http://www.TheFutureAndYou.libsyn.com

What I didn't know--that I just found out--is that this month's podcast also features Senator (and presidential candidate) John McCain, Eric Flint, Jack McDevitt, and Doctor Aubrey de Grey. Happily, I think I actually did okay. Enjoy the show!
