Hello again podcast listeners here's your periodic secret message that we drop in for you

folks a word about our Carl Sagan Day celebration on Friday November 9 it terrific. It was one of the greatest evenings of my professional life,

really probably just of my life period. Today's show captures just a few excerpts from that as you'll hear.

There is so much more.

I really cannot recommend it highly enough.

The sad thing is that our video was lost.

The live webcast failed, as some of you probably know, only about two minutes in, and we thought

that we still had a video recording to rely on. Well, unfortunately, our friends at

Southern California Public Radio said that that was lost as well. We're still

not really sure what happened. Thank goodness we had an audio recording to create this radio show and to put the entire

evening up at planetary.org where you can find this radio show we'll have a link

there but I think it's also on the home page.

And our friend Liam Kennedy, he had his still camera there,

and he took some terrific pictures.

And so it's a kind of a pseudo video that I hope you'll enjoy.

It was assembled by my colleague Casey Dreyer.

Anyway here is our celebration of Sagan Day and our 10th anniversary as you'll hear during the

What's Up segment also done in front of that audience

at Southern California Public Radio's Crawford Family Forum.

As I mentioned last week we still welcome your support.

You can donate directly to Planetary Radio and if you give us over $50 to support this show

we'll give you a Planetary Radio t-shirt and I stand by my offer anybody who gives us
