Hello, as I say during the radio show this online version has about an extra five minutes

of my conversation with Jill Tartar of the SETI Institute.

I wish I'd had room for it in the radio version, but you know rules

are rules and so you guys get to hear it here. It's a pretty entertaining stuff.

She's she's quite amazing. The other request is one that I've made before and that is, of course,

you know, we'd love it if you wanted to actually support the show by becoming a member of the

planetary society at planetary.org or just donating to the show

which you can do at planetary.org slash radio. But short of those or maybe in addition to those, would you let other people know about

our little low-budget radio series about the Final Frontier? It's easy to do the perhaps easiest way is

just to post a review or a rating of planetary radio wherever you happen to hear

the show whether it's iTunes or some other podcast aggregator, they

generally make it very easy to do this and it means a lot to us, but it also means a lot

to groups like Apple, because that helps us with iTunes moves us up in the

listings of programs about space and science. So if you like the show please consider

doing that for us and also consider supporting us with a few bucks.

Because that will just enable us to do even more great things with Planetary Radio.

And let us know what you think at

planetary radio at planetary.org planetary radio at planetary.org and now here's the

show. Settie researcher Jill Charter this week on planetary radio.

Welcome to the travel show that takes you to the final frontier.

I'm Matt Kaplan of the Planetary Society.

She will be forever identified with the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
