Seattle Science & Tech Podcast: Recent Episodes
Glenn Fleishman
An occasional live interview show in Seattle about topics of science and technology, hosted by Glenn Fleishman.
Alan Boyle wants you to believe in Pluto. So much so that he wrote the book The Case for Pluto, that argues why the ice dwarf deserves to remain in the pantheon of planets. With the New Horizons spacecraft getting closer to Pluto, Alan comes to Ada's to talk with Seattle sci/tech journalist Glenn Fleishman about the planet, its moons, our first close-up glimpse, the Oort cloud, and the upcoming interruption in the stream of outer-planet missions. Alan is NBC News Digital's science editor, a local resident, and a regular on TV talking about space and other science. His book, The Case for Pluto will be available for sale at Ada's before and the day-of the event. The 1 hour interview will include an opportunity for Q&A.
Madeline Ashby spends her days dreaming pragmatically about the future, whether for her consulting futurist work, in which she helps companies conceive of coming transformations in society and industry, or for her science-fiction writing. Seattle journalist Glenn Fleishman interviewed her on May 5, 2015, at Ada's Technical Books and Café in Seattle about her about robots, AI, and the singularity — and how unlikely it is — and how it fits into her speculative fiction. They also talked about use of science fiction in strategic foresight, why stories make good prototypes, and hit on the controversy surrounding the Hugo Awards nomination process.
Molly Wizenberg and Matthew Amster-Burton host Spilled Milk, a podcast in which two food writers crack wise—or two comedians talk food? You pick.
Live from Ada's Technical Books and Café in Seattle, author John Moltz explains Minecraft with ample help from an audience of avid kid players. John is the co-author of The Visual Guide to Minecraft (Peachpit Press). Glenn Fleishman interviews.
Glenn Fleishman, a Seattle-based technology reporter for the Economist and elsewhere, interviewed Dr. Katie Mack, a dark-matter researcher, in front of a live audience in Seattle at Ada's Technical Books and Café on January 13, 2015, about dark matter and energy, black holes, exoplanets, life in the universe, and much more. The first half of the podcast is an interview; the second, questions from the live audience and via a live audio stream.
Hello! This is a modest effort by yours truly, Glenn Fleishman, to create an occasional series of science and technology oriented podcasts anchored in Seattle. I'll talk to people passing through town as well as locals about space, medicine, space medicine, physics, industrial design, manufacturing and more.
Ada's Technical Books & Café has been the gracious host for the live event part. Each event has a live audience and Q&A, is livestreaming over the Internet, and recorded to be posted as a podcast.
