Interview: Dr. Robert Nemiroff

Dr. Robert Nemiroff is a professor at Michigan Technological University in Houghton Michigan. He’s also one of the people behind APOD (Astronomy Picture of the Day) among other things. While dropping my daughter off at college, I was fortunate enough to get a moment to talk to Dr. Nemiroff before he started the busy semester.

Technorama Interview: Josh and Will from Written by a Kid

Josh Flaum and Will Bowles, the creators of the show Written by a Kid on the Geek & Sundry YouTube channel, join me for an interview where they talk about themselves and about the show.

If you are not familiar with the show Written by a Kid it is a show where Kids from 5-10 year olds make up a story and they produce it with live actors using the kids story as the script, verbatim. It is fun and great to watch for anyone, including your own kid.

Technorama Special: This Side of Paradise

If you didn’t know Star Trek The Original Series just passed it’s 46th anniversary orginally airing on September 8th, 1966. While at Dragon*Con, Julie, Clinton, Chuck and Kreg got together and pay tribute to Star Trek TOS, specifically the episode “This Side of Paradise” (Season 1, Episode 24)…and by paying tribute we mean, MST3K it.

We invite you to follow along and watch as you listen to us cackle on about spore confetti popping out everywhere, Spock experiencing love, and Kirk trying to bring everyone’s buzz down.

It is available in iTunes, Netflix, and on Amazon.

To Hail and Back

Long time friend of the Technorama podcast Mike Hall is trying to put together a storm chasing expedition. To do this he launched a kickstarter drive to raise funds so he can storm chase for an entire month next spring. If you haven’t seen his weather photography before, do yourself a favor and take a look.

We would like to see him get his project funded, so if you have a few extra bucks please consider helping out a fellow listener (and Photographer!).
