The Spinoff Podcast - API Case Files

I decided last year that the Wow! Signal Podcast would no longer cover the UFO topic directly, but I have been helping a group of people launch a new podcast called API Case Files, which will do a much better job with that topic and audience. I contribute a short segment to each episode called "Unidentified Science", and will do a few interviews for them as well to get things kicked off.  If you're interested in serious information about UFOs, then trust me, this is the podcast for you. They have two episodes out so far, and they are both doing well in terms of downloads. I think they may eventually have the number one podcast in the UFO field.

The API Case Files team welcomes questions and comments, including comments from skeptics. To have your question addressed on air, please e-mail podcast (at) aerial-phenomenon.org.

The Wow! Signal Podcast will continue to devote considerable bandwidth to SETI, the Fermi Paradox, and even Bracewell Probes. We haven't forgotten about ET, but we are moving on from flying saucers.

My Balticon 47 talk

I have decided not to post the audio of my Balticon 47 talk in the regular Wow! Signal Podcast feed, since J.D. Mack has made the video available on YouTube.

I may also use the audio I recorded for some other purpose.

A PDF of the visual aids for the talk can be downloaded here:

On May 11th 2013 I sat down in the hotel restaurant with Bing Garthright, a member of the National Capital Area Skeptics, to talk about his impressions of UFOCon

Bing Garthright

13 in Linthicum, Maryland.  This led to some interesting stories of his days as a NICAP UFO investigator in Maryland, and why he stopped investigating UFOs.  Bing makes  some measured - and often very positive -  comments about the speakers he had just heard.
