To Irishman (and anyone else with a real slow connection).

Found this link www.purdue.edu/wbaa/listen_online/index.html that I can listen to even with my little Webtv unit. Anyone having trouble might try it. Select AM setting. The Connection comes on today at 9:00 to 11:00 pacific time. Good Luck.

I'm sitting in a professional conference right now, coming to you through the magic of wireless networking. I'm sorely tempted to plug in the headphones and tune in. It would be a lot more fun than what's going on here.

... and Rene is off and ranting! He already sounds crotchety and cranky... He has already claimed the host of the show works for NASA. Oh, and he has claimed Oberg is a "NASA apologist or an idiot".

.1 anyway i've found NPR its a very weak AM station
around 540 on the AM dial & I HAVE TUNEDin.
.2 I used to call in KKEY 1150 AM & the frist
call in talk show on Earth as I understand it
3? Soon I found ou the thing for me to say
{I used a radio call in name (My Middle 1) 2 A's}
"NEXT CALLER"
so I would say {in my not made for TV voice}
"... running for" {Political office}
(for example in '98 I ran for US Senate)
{{ the year that 2 "powerfull" OR. US. senatore Resigned}}
( beLIVE whatever you will )
4: so that Station was {um NO Longer}

I'd love to hear HUb call in. I bet he'd sound just like Lorenzo Music "...Carlton, your door man..."
5th Basically the sound of my voice { i would have theGW detector playing in the background } for the most parts BAN from radio.. (BWUW)

infocusing is referring to a caller who didn't buy the hoax but ripped NASA for deliberate FOIA violations. Jim O debunked some of this but also griped about, essentially, NASA bureaucracy.

Andy Chaikin just came on! And commented about conspiracy theory dangers as extrapolated from the specific Apollo "hoax". Phil is tying that in to comments from Sagan's "A Demon-Haunted World".

Rene seems to have vanished after the first break.

My station link seems to have lost the satellite around the time of that break - it came back a minute or so after - anyone else have that happen?

I love that the host is equating the Moon Hoax to Elvis still being alive. Priceless.

So far the bulk of the discussion is the sad state of science education in the USA.

It's all relavant. If we properly educated our students in science, Bart & Co. wouldn't have an audience.
