Hello and welcome to the Skeptics Guide to the Universe.

0:27.0

Today is Saturday, April 17, 2010, and this is your host, as you just heard, Steve and Novella.

0:39.0

And we are live from Nexus 2010.

And in a little way, it touches us, but we lose Perry all over again every time that happens. But it still keeps him fresh in our mind.

2:51.0

And of course, his name comes up frequently on our show because the kind of person that he was, which touched all of us, still lives on in the show through all of us.
