Episode 6 – Sheila Madrak pt. 2

06_sheila-madrakSheila Madrak is back this week with Petunia to continue our chat about the ocean, turtles, ecology, charismatic megafauna, and so much more. This time we are sticking with something from Stone Brewing in San Diego and enjoying their Arrogant Bastard Ale. Listen to a quick check-in with Chris Luchterhand (@chrisrluch) via twitter, grab a refreshment, and then join in.

Episode 5 – Sheila Madrak

05_sheila-madrak

Sheila Madrak (@shishfish), a marine ecologist pursuing her PhD in Conservation Ecology from the Joint Doctoral Program in Ecology at San Diego State University and UC Davis, was nice enough to drive up from San Diego with her pet turtle Petunia and talk about marine life, ecosystems, how to keep them safe, and the role of humans in all of it. We also enjoyed some Ruination Ale from Stone Brewing in San Diego. All of which was thoroughly enjoyable. A call to Kim Bowman, who has been incredibly helpful with the podcast so far, kicks it off as we chat about her genealogy. Get nice and cozy and join in.

Episode 3 – Andy Beckerman pt. 1

After a quick chat with @donny_gates via twitter, I sit down and chat with the host of the Beginnings Podcast, Andy Beckerman, about physics, science fairs, aspirations, life, and various other things. I met Andy when I was a guest on his podcast, and he’s both smart and funny. He has a Master’s degree in Philosophy from Temple University, and he also studied physics, so we had a lot to talk about. He doesn’t drink beer, but he was nice enough to sample a bit of the Saranac Blueberry Blonde Ale, which was surprisingly good.

A Nice Introduction from the A.V. Club

The A.V. Club’s Podmass included the Space Cave in their weekly rundown of podcasts. It was very nice of them, and thanks to @nowah for the write-up. Hopefully you are enjoying them so far. The next one will go up Monday, and that will be the regular day of the week for new episodes. Talk to you then.

Episode 2 – Matthew Wielicki pt. 2

After a quick chat with the Waco Kid (@tepid_mess), I continue my conversation with Matthew about Planetary Exploration. We get into the specifics of finding life on other planets, whether it would be wise to disrupt them or attempt to communicate, and we devise plans to get ourselves to other worlds. We also enjoy more Ommegang Three-Eyed Raven.
