Space Nuts Episode 270 with Professor Fred Watson & Andrew Dunkley
●The one where too many audience questions is never enough. The whole show is devoted to them…including one very clever submission. As usual, no question is too tricky for our Astronomer At Large…they all get an answer from Fred.
●Note…the photo in this weeks artwork was taken by our own Andrew Dunkley this week…so for no particular reason we thought we’d showcase it.
Plus a bonus…sing along with Fred https://youtu.be/OkqeqWjYwF0

Model Wars

Model Wars

On the surface, the modeling industry in the 80s was about parties and pretty clothes, but underneath the flash, there were drugs, sex, and violence. And Paul Fisher, a former straight-A student from the San Fernando Valley, rose to prominence amidst the turmoil. After a chance encounter with an alleged mobster, Paul suddenly found himself with a million dollars in funding and the chance to start a modeling agency in New York City. The city was then embroiled in a “model war” between industry titans Eileen Ford and John Casablancas, and Paul tried to make his mark. But even as Paul thrived in the party-heavy culture of the time, burning cash like a furnace, he came face to face with the darkest forces in the industry. As his shady backers put the screws to him, Paul faced down deadly consequences, trying to make a star while saving his soul.
