| 0:27.3 | Hello, and welcome to the Origins Podcast. |
| 0:29.3 | I'm your host, Lawrence Krause. |
| 0:34.5 | Neil deGrasse Tyson is perhaps the most famous spokesman for signs in the world today. |
| 0:37.5 | He's known around the world as the presenter of Cosmos, |
| 0:42.7 | the director of the Hayden Planetarium, whose renovation he helped oversee, and the host of the podcast Star Talk. I've known Neil for over 20 years, and we've worked together often. |
| 0:48.0 | He's invited me to present many times for programs of the planetarium, and he's come to participate |
| 0:52.8 | in my own public events, most notably one that |

| 1:23.7 | and his writing. Neil was, as always, witty, lively, |
| 1:28.3 | and at times pretty loud. |
