Episode #339 Jamie's back from TAM and bagged some amazing interviews with Neil deGrasse Tyson and Rebecca Watson. Tyson is an American astrophysicist, science communicator, the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium at the Rose Center for Earth and Space, and a Research Associate in the Department of Astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History. Since 2006 he has hosted the educational science television show NOVA scienceNOW on PBS, and has been a frequent guest on The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, and Jeopardy. Tyson (@neiltyson) discusses the importance of science, Republicans, and how science is more spectacular than religion. Rebecca Watson AKA Skepchick (skepchick.org) returns to the show to discuss abortion, abstinence only policies, feminism, and asshole atheists. Jamie's episode of The Green Room airs on Showtime the first week of August. Check your local listings! Citizen Radio is a member-supported show.
