Another Year Closer to Death
Hi everyone. I’ve been doing some thinking about what I want to blog about next year. This year, I’ve posted a lot about our reading selections, and also whatever grabbed my attention or pissed me off, mostly under the category of religious rants. Next year, I want to be more focused, so here’s what I’m planning: 1) I’ll continue to…

WNYC!
Curiosity, Aroused was just licensed by WNYC in, obviously, New York City. That’s huge! No word on when it’s going to play yet, but I’ll let you know. Thank you to everyone who has written their local stations! Here’s the link again: http://www.prx.org/pieces/22589

Attention Seattlites (and the rest of you, too)!
My pilot public radio show, Curiosity, Aroused, is now available on PRX.org. That means that public radio stations across the country can log on and purchase a license to play the show on air, filling some air time for practically nothing in time and money. Everybody wins! A very cool, forward-thinking listener already wrote a letter to KUOW in Seattle,…

Finally, the pilot episode of Curiosity, Aroused!
I turned it in Wednesday night to be sure I met the Thursday at 5pm deadline. PRX has put the pilot (and that of the other two winners, Glynn and Al) online for you to hear! There’s no voting this time, since now it’s all up to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to decide whether or not they want to…

Why people go for alternative medicine

I just came from the pharmacy where my doctor called in a generic prescription for me. She called in the generic, because my insurance company refused to pay for the brand-name drug she…

Weekend Editing, Day 3
12:11 Supplies wearing thin. Send help! Just kidding. I got to go out last night for the first time in what feels like ages (er, since Monday I guess). I made it over to dinner with Bob and Steve Novella (and Steve’s lovely wife, daughter and parents), plus the New York Skeptics, including Mike Feldman, Jamy Ian Swiss, and my…

Weekend Editing, Day 2 (+ UPDATE 4)
11:39am Last night’s heart-stopper has finally been solved. The problem was in the clock — as I mentioned yesterday, there are a few different clocks to use. PRX wanted one clock and my producer wanted another — the clock my producer was on was the one that would work the best with my show, and a miscommunication somewhere along the…

The Last Weekend of Editing! (+ UPDATE 7)
7pm Coming down to the wire, the pilot is almost finished! Thanks again for all your suggestions for show names, slogans, and neurosurgeons. (It turns out, I don’t need a neurosurgeon after all. Whee, last minute changes!) We’re editing everything together tonight and fine-tuning it, and it’s sounding great. A lot of the show is made up of interviews, as…
