Carl Sagan - Cosmos (podcast edition)

While watching Cosmos on DVD it occurred to me that it would translate fairly well to a podcast format. Having spent tens of hours editing periodic announcements out of DJ sets recorded off the radio, it presented an interesting challenge.

I listened through the episodes multiple times and anything that didn't work like long passages of music, or where Carl refers to something on-screen (eg. "shown here" or "this photo") were edited out. Most of the edits are seamless but some noticeable ones were unavoidable without access to the master tapes.

The only content of note that didn't work "for radio" was a sequence in episode 7 where Carl shows some pictures and planetary models to primary school students, and another in episode 12 where he translates some Egyptian Hieroglyphics from Greek.

Brian Greene - The Fabric of the Cosmos - AUDIOBOOK

Greene (physics and mathematics, Columbia U.) strips away the mathematics and speaks in metaphors, analogies, stories, and illustrations to explain to general readers with little or no formal training in the sciences some of the complex concepts scientists are now grappling with.
