April 10, 2017 Zimmerman/Batchelor podcast
Embedded below the fold. I like John Batchelor’s title for this podcast: “Capitalism in space means cheaper, faster, better, cheapest.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

When the recording timer gets to 9:06, listeners may wish to skip to 10:30.
Willi: And why is that? Is there something wrong with the podcast during that 1:24? Or did you not like what was being said?
Am I the only one tired of hearing the ad for the Casper mattress?
Your report turns out to be well timed, given the events and news that have quickly followed it. But it would’ve been well timed at any time these days, because capitalism in space is breaking through more and more all the time. There’s only one way in this trend.
Spaceflight is transforming from creepy caterpillars protected by cocoons, to butterflies able to go anywhere.

Willi–
(totally sick of Casper, the Shave Club, Simply-Safe, anything related to buying Gold/Silver, and all the survival-food stuff.)
If you want to cut down on the inserted adverts, download the .mp3 files directly, skip the streaming, and (semi) take back control of your listening experience.
(There’s only 40 minutes of actual Show per broadcast hour, the other 20 minutes are adverts & news)

(right-click, save-target-as…listen to the file(s) at your leisure.)
They generally insert adverts at the beginning & end of blocks (which are easy to skip), but have increasingly been inserting them in the middle of blocks as well.
I’m afraid the days of acquiring totally clean (advert free) clips, from most everyone, is gone. Downloads & streaming are increasingly making up a substantial portion of the listening audience, and those listeners are especially coveted by advertiser’s.
Wayne, as long as the spectrum display is available making it relatively easy to spot and skip the ads, downloading the ‘.MP3’ files isn’t needed, IMHO.
@Willi,
I bought one of those Casper engineered mattresses and it cured my back pain. Why are you complaining about it? :-)
@Willi again
Maybe Mr. Bachelor is feeling lonely and is trying to sell a piece of his own mattress!? ;-)
