I’m headed up to Balticon 47<\/a> this weekend to talk about science and podcasting and more science and more podcasting. How can you resist?<\/p>\n

You cannot, that’s how. Or not how. Or — look, just come see me make a fool of myself at any of these fine panels:<\/p>\n

Your Lying Eyes<\/b>. Saturday, 5:00 PM, Salon A.
\nYou think you see in high resolution, but you don’t: your eyes & brain fill in a lot of gaps. Find out how visual illusions teach us how we see. A talk on how our visual system really works and how visual illusions let researchers learn more about how we see what we see.<\/p>\n

I love this talk, as it’s an excuse for me to wave my hands furiously about the brain and show cool visual illusions.<\/p>\n

Disasterpiece After Dark<\/b>. Saturday, 9:00 PM, Derby<\/p>\n

Normally we keep our live podcast shows at about a PG or PG-13. This is where we indulge in pitching terrible movies that are for the over-18 set.<\/p>\n

Disasterpiece Theatre<\/b>. Sunday, 12:00 noon, Derby
\nDisasterpiece Theatre is an exercise in true Hollywood movie magic. Each week, we take a theme and try to come up with the movies the industry would be most likely to make. The magic happens when we create something dark and terrible; a hideous and inexorable vision of the cinematic future, and you know true despair. <\/p>\n

The live version of our movie podcast<\/a> is always fun. Come tell us what terrible movies you’d like to see us suggest, and then see what we come up with!<\/p>\n

Talk To Me: How To Conduct Podcast Interviews<\/b>. Sunday, 1:00 PM, Chesapeake.
\nThe do’s, don’t’s, and how-to’s of conducting a podcast interview. What technologies are available to let you interview people from across the globe?<\/p>\n

I have strong opinions about how to do interviews. Will my other panelists agree? Do I care if they do or don’t? Who knows!<\/p>\n

Live Interview with James Gates Jr.<\/b> Sunday, 3:00 PM, Salon A.<\/p>\n

There’s a good chance you’ve seen Dr. Gates talking on NOVA about string theory, supersymmetry, and unification theories. As a former experimentalist, I’m way out of my depth on this one, so there’s no telling what I’ll ask.<\/p>\n

Dramatic Voice Acting<\/b>. Sunday, 6:00 PM, Derby.
\nThe popular Dynamic Voice Acting panel returns to talk about how to best show off your vocal talents.<\/p>\n

My first podcast voice acting credit<\/a> was this year, so clearly I’m an expert. Also this is my fourth panel in six hours. What was I thinking?<\/p>\n

Multi-Creatives<\/b>. Monday, 12:00 PM, Chesapeake.
\nThe demands of multiple artistic pursuits. Learning to do it all without losing your mind.<\/p>\n

I was on this last year, and my advice this year is the same: you will lose your mind<\/i>. Embrace it. Recognize that you can’t do everything, but then ignore that realization and try to do it all anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
