May 6, 2016 Zimmerman/Pratt podcast
On Friday afternoon I spent 90 minutes with Robert Pratt on his radio show, Pratt on Texas. Unlike most radio hosts, Robert wanted to hear my thoughts not just on the state of the aerospace industry, but also on today’s politics. The conversation thus ranged beyond space during the last half hour. If anyone wants to hear this conversation, the podcast be found here.
Note: The podcast now works at this link.
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

mp3 file has not yet been uploaded–will check back later.
Still no sign….
Can’t get the podomatic app to work on android tablet. No MP3 download. Pretty clear Robert Pratt or his technies don’t know what they’re doing.
djn:
it’s not your app, the mp3 just doesn’t exist where we can get at it, yet.
-Two duplicate entries now, both of which say they are “fixed,” the podomatic-page (from the link above) doesn’t exist anymore, and I can’t find it in his RSS feed.
Will check later. (I want to hear this!)
Still not there. The file isn’t listed on Robert Pratt’s iTunes page either:

They made an effort at the podomatic site, but no ‘download’ button has appeared.

To all:
I had emailed Robert Pratt, and he has emailed me a new link. I have edited the post to direct you to this new link, which appears to include a working podcast.
Podcast is a go! Thank you Mr. Z, & Mr. Pratt. (And they even edit out the commercials!)
Interesting show. Enjoyed the Space & the Politics.
-Mr. Z., ref agriculture & technology: Depending on size, modern Farmers make use of all sorts of technology, including GPS-assisted tractors. (its amazing)
