[meteorite-list] Steve & Geoff on PBS Tomorrow

[Notkin]

Dear Listees:

New Year's greetings to you all from sunny Tucson, AZ. It *is* still 
sunny, but unusually cool for Tucson. We had snow on the mountains for 
two days and just yesterday I saw a person wearing a scarf! Can you 
imagine  : )

First off, Steve Arnold #1 and I would like to thank all of you who 
tuned in to see us on "Cash & Treasures" on the Travel Channel. Our 
episode will repeat eight more times during the next month or so. I 
believe it airs twice during the Gem Show, so our overseas friends who 
will be here will have a chance to see it (Do I hear "Party in 
Chladni's Heirs hotel room"?).

We're very excited to announce that our new show, "Wired Science" will 
debut here in the U.S. tomorrow night at 8 pm Eastern. It appears to be 
airing on all PBS affiliates, so you should be able to pick it up 
anywhere in the U.S., and hopefully Canada too.

PBS really knows how to run a website. If you go to this page:

http://www.pbs.org/kcet/wiredscience/local-listings.html

. . . and key in your zip code, it will immediately produce all your 
local broadcast times.

In some areas, the show will premiere on Thursday, Jan. 4 (out here for 
example), not tomorrow, so do please check your local listings.

"Wired Science" is a one-hour pilot for a new science series. It is a 
joint venture between the famous technology magazine, "Wired," and KCET 
(PBS). The show is made up of seven separate segments, of which ours is 
the first, so don't tune in late!

Steve and I have already seen the show, and are very pleased with it. 
During the program, we visit with the Brenham Meteorite Company's 
1,430-lb pallasite at the Exploration Center in Wichita, Kansas, and 
then head on to the Brenham strewnfield where we put The Meteorite 
Trolley thorough its paces and excavate . . . well, I don't want to 
give it all away.

Also featured in the show is our good friend Teresa Moss, Director of 
the Monnig Meteorite Gallery, who takes viewers on a tour of the 
museum, and demonstrates what pallasites look like on the inside.

I've put together a behind-the-scenes special about "Wired Science" on 
my website, with lots of "making-of" photos:

Steve and I hope you enjoy the program, and we're looking forward to 
seeing many of you out here . . . just next month.


Best wishes,

Geoff N.
