Evadot Podcast #1 – Space in Primetime

This is great, guys–love the podcast. Mike, the last time I heard your voice would have been about 1993, so this is a bit strange in a good way. Couple of thoughts: first I will not make a Ryan Seacrest / Uranus joke. I just will not do it. Second–and I think this is, ironically, a good example of what you're talking about re a spokesperson/communicator. I can't think of his name and I'm acutally interested in this stuff! He's been on the Daily Show a few times relatively (pun intended) recently, he's always in History/Discovery/Learning channel shows on the topic. He's an African American professor of (I think) astrophysics and/or theoretical physics. He would be great in that role. And the fact that I can't think of his name is probably very telling.

Neil deGrasse Tyson–the professor whose name I couldn't remember.
