During The Amazing Meeting 8, Robin Ferguson and I sat down to talk with Phil Plait from Bad Astronomy.
I had planned to transcribe it, but there’s so much interesting stuff Phil discussed — ranging from his “super secret project” to PepsiGate to not being a dick — that it was much easier to upload the audio and just put it out there.
(Speaking of not being a dick, here’s a a decent transcript of Phil’s TAM8 talk.)
You can download the interview here (MP3).
(This is the image he refers to in the interview.)
And now you know why I don’t do a podcast ![]()
