Summary

Robert Hurt (www.spitzer.caltech.edu/mission/profile/50-robert-hurt) is the visualization scientist(he translates color) for the Spitzer Telescope. He works for Cal Tech, JPL and NASA... in that order... I think. He's done a series of truly accessible space/science videos and they're great. As is he.  This Month's shows are sponsored by EARTH 2 Comics (comic shop in Sherman Oaks and Northridge ). It's my very own comic shop and they are super helpful if you're just getting into comics and they have everything. Go in. Tell them you're a Ranger (or a fan of TDF) and get 10% off. www.allthingscomedy.com is the podcast network that TDF is part of. Plenty of other great pods out there if you're looking. Remember the DONATE button... still around www.jackiekashian.com and www.dorkforest.com - feel free to pony up. If you don't have the money.. just talk it up to your peoples. :) You can also get merch for money on my website as well. That is good too.
