Did you notice anything about last week’s episode? It was an encore of our very first release from the VoS. Good Ol’ Ep 1. Since we’re closing in on 250, I thought, why not? It was a fresh edit, title and notes.
That episode was so ridiculous I may repeat it every year.
That moves us to this week where we have a NNS from July 23rd, 1995 which I’ve titled: Astron-Normy.
Our Guest was Bob Berman, author of “Secrets of the Night Sky”
At the time he also wrote a column in Discover Magazine called, The Night Watchman and hosted a weekly broadcast on Northeast Public Radio.
He talks all things astronomy in an easy-to-understand way.
As fascinating and interview now as it was then
I still have my copy of the book.
We even take some calls:
Woody on a car phone
Jim in Boston
John from Wellesley
Bob in his car
And Richard from Shrewsbury
We move on to hour 2 where Norm takes a variety of calls:
John from Boca Raton
Connie in Melrose
Don
Steve from Melrose
Jane
Helen in Malden
Bill from Houghton Lake, MI
And Karen in Toledo, OH
The Steve from Melrose call was a special find here in the Vault.
A regular caller when he was in high school, he went on to pursue a career in the world of wrestling. We get an entertaining update from him here. My wonderful subscribers on Patreon got a sneak preview of that call. Just one of the perks of becoming a Patron. Exclusive content and episode previews among other silliness. Think about subscribing, won’t you?
During my close we’ll get to hear a familiar voice on a commercial so stay tuned throughout.
Ep 245, Astron-Normy, rockets its way to your ears in 3, 2 and 1.
