The podcast of my two-hour appearance last night on The Space Show with David Livingston is now available here.
Thank you to David and tor everyone who called or emailed questions. Twas a very good show, to my mind. It also allowed me hone my verbal description of my new book, Conscious Choice. When I finish a book, I tend initially to get buried in the details in describing it in interviews. This appearance allowed me to get an idea on how to talk about the book quickly, in summary. I think it went well, and will certainly get better with future appearances.
Tonight I will be doing another long appearance from 7:00-9:00 pm (Pacific) with David Livingston on The Space Show. I hope my readers tune in and, more importantly, call in with questions.
I will most certainly talk about my new book, Conscious Choice, describing how the failures in British colonial America can inform us on building colonies on Mars and elsewhere.

Today Robert Pratt made available an hourlong podcast interview I did with him earlier this week, devoted entirely to discussing my new book, Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space.
The podcast is available here.
This was my first long interview discussing this book. It is also the first where you can hear the detailed impressions of it from someone else. Robert Pratt is a very educated radio host, with deep knowledge of western history and culture. That he repeatedly noted how Conscous Choice surprised him by teaching him things he hadn’t known and hadn’t even thought of I found very gratifying. I’ll let his closing words in the interview sum up his opinion of my book:
I really do believe that everybody needs to get a copy of Conscious Choice. It is that important a book. It is one of the most important books given today’s social upheaval.
There are lot of good histories out there, but they are mostly just retreads of the primary documents that we’ve read before. I get bored with them.
This book is new. This book is primary source history that will enlighten you and give you knowledge.
If you listen you will find out that I am not spinning his words. Nor is he merely providing a plug for a guest. This is his honest appraisal of Conscious Choice, after reading it.

I did a short segment on Robert Pratt’s Pratt on Texas podcast, talking about the Branson and Bezos suborbital flights. It is the fourth segment of his forty-minutes show, starting at about 31 minutes.
I will also be on the radio live tonight, doing a 50 minute interview with Steve Thompson on WCCO-AM in Minnesota. The interview begins at midnight (Central).

In addition to the short segment I did on Friday about commercial space exploration for Robert Pratt, I also recorded a 40 minute interview with him discussing the horrible wave of blacklisting and intolerance that is sweeping across America.
That second podcast is now available here. While much of it is a review of my daily column, “Today’s blacklisted American,” Robert and I expanded on the subject. You especially want to hear what I demand we do to stop this intolerance. It is for example not banning critical race theory from schools, a common tactic now being pushed by the generally ineffectual Republican Party in many states.
I did a short 9-minute segment talking about space with Robert Pratt yesterday. It is the second segment on his full podcast, available here. I suggest you listen to the whole thing, as he covers news that any American should be interested in.
