Robert Pratt invited me to appear on his radio podcast once again, first for a short five minute segment to discuss the Biden administration’s effort to block Starship launches in Boca Chica, and second a long 40 minute discussion about some of my recent blacklist stories.
The short segment starts 13 minutes into his podcast from yesterday, available here.
The long blacklist discussion can be found here.
I did a short nine minute segment with Robert Pratt of Pratt on Texas today, discussing the Biden administration’s apparent effort to block SpaceX’s Starship operations in Texas. If you want to listen the podcast can be found here. My segment begins at 22:50 minutes, though the rest of Robert’s show is definitely worth listening to as well.
On today’s podcast of Pratt on Texas, Robert Pratt played three segments with me that we recorded yesterday discussing both commercial space and blacklisting. Some good stuff. If you want to listen the podcast can be found here. My segments are in the 2, 3, and 4 parts of the show.
An evening pause: Hat tip to Robert Pratt of Pratt on Texas, who adds that David Buxkemper is an actual listener to Pratt’s podcast, and the song was written by Watson with that person in mind.
Last week I recorded a long interview with Robert Pratt of Pratt on Texas discussing some of the recent blacklist and pushback stories I have posted on Behind the Black. That interview is now available in two parts here.
The most interesting part of the interview for me was when Robert and I discussed the mental strain and stress we both felt writing or discussing these stories every day. Both of us are optimists, and these stories of oppression are depressing, to put it mildly. After awhile you just want to ignore them and deal with something more uplifting.
We don’t however, because we both know that if we ignore this stuff it will only make it more difficult in the coming years to find anything uplifting to write or talk about. Freedom and human creativity is under aggressive attack, and as civilized human beings it is our obligation to report that story, so that all civilized humans will have the knowledge to successful fight back.
Give it a listen and comment below. We face a real civil war in the coming years, and the thoughts of my readers would be appreciated.
And if you are in Texas and can support Robert Pratt’s advertisers, please due so. He was blacklisted himself in January, and this podcast is his way of fighting back.
Robert Pratt has now made available a 20 minute podcast I did with him this week. You can listen or download it here. From the podcast announcement:
New Texan Elon Musk has the ear of many of the younger techies and he is giving them good lessons on government policy. Also, Robert Zimmerman of BehindtheBlack.com joins us for a space industry updated including comment on the James Webb Telescope set for launch on Friday; Blue Origin’s orbital engine delays, and; much on Elon Musk’s SpaceX including developments at the firm’s Texas launch facility in Cameron County.
The forty-plus minute interview I did with Robert Pratt on his Pratt on Texas podcast is now available here. Pratt’s show summary is as follows:
The cases are more frequent, insidious, and perversely absurd.
In this update we discuss a surgeon and another doctor seemingly fired for simply speaking up about mask mandates and WuFlu treatments. We look at two teachers harmed and a formerly prestigious science body that denied giving awards because all nominees were white males and that’s not all.
Yesterday I did a short 10 minute space update for Robert Pratt on his Pratt on Texas podcast. It is the fourth segment that can be found here.
We also did a long forty minute interview about some recent blacklist stories, which I expect Robert to publish in the next few days.
Robert Pratt has now made available a long 40 minute podcast I did with him this week. You can listen or download it here.
From his description: Space historian and science writer Robert Zimmerman joins us to talk about capitalism in space, boondoggle government space programs, and a blacklisted Americans update.
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.
On April 21st, I recorded another 35 minute podcast with Robert Pratt. That podcast is now available at his website at this link. From his description:
An update with author and historian Robert Zimmerman of behindtheblack.com on the current cancel culture we are experiencing, or as Bob put it: Blacklisting Americans.
Trust me, even though we were reviewing the many blacklist stories I have posted in the past few weeks that you might have read, you want to listen. I expand on those posts, outlining why I am doing them, and what they illustrate about our larger society. Free-thinking and liberty-loving Americans are no longer the majority in this country. We face a terrible battle to make “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” the central principle of America once again.
On a positive note, Pratt has begun re-establishing his radio network in Texas. The corporate blacklisters have tried to silence him, but he’s thumbing his nose at those petty tyrants. Go Robert!
My hour-long appearance with Robert Pratt two days ago on his Pratt on Texas radio network, airing across the Lone Star State, is now available here.
