Hello listeners welcome to the show I'm excited this is the week I'm launching

stand-up science my new live show complete with me other scientists, and you get to be involved as well all alive,

October 11th in Madison.

And then the following week I'll be in Minneapolis Chicago and Milwaukee and then

Des Moines after that coming up in November Portland Seattle and Tacoma all trying these giving it a fair shake that's eight cities seeing if it works I don't expect the show to necessarily take hold in every single city

Figuring out the marketing of it figuring out what shows are going to be

or what cities are going to be the easiest to get guests. Getting guests for these shows has been extremely

time consuming, more time consuming than here we are a podcast, which is quite a bit of work in and of itself.

So it's been a lot of work but it's been fun.

I've been enjoying it.

It's been a good test and I would love to do more.

Like I said before, you may not be in any of those cities, but you know people that are

there and they're all as pragmatically as possible testing this out in small 150 seat venues. All that needs to happen is for

me to fill up one of those venues that will be a successful show that will mean that it is going to be economically viable and there's

enough interest in town and I've been able to get the scientists and know enough

things have clicked into place for me to pursue this further. So any of those shows

that fill up mean that I will rebook the show three months later in an effort to make it a

quarterly show in that city and I will add a

new city for each one of these first eight shows during this trial run of this tour I will add a new city to try out so if

we get one working add another one and try that out again I don't expect all these

cities to necessarily work out, but if enough of them

do, this is something that could really be scaled up and I want to take all over the country.
