[meteorite-list] Meteorite market talk on radio

[James Beauchamp]

The night of March 23, 2010, two beautiful exploding events happened just West of Oklahoma City early evening.  I was lucky to get them both on the allsky.

The next day I started getting calls from a local station.  first they wanted a phone interview, then they wanted to come by the house and film the camera, then they asked "Hey, can you bring the camera in for a morning interview?"

Turns out, a station in Tulsa got one of them while doing an evening weather report, so I did a remote interview, then one in the studio.

I was really nervous, but they were so nice it never showed.

Sooo...  not all are evil.  Some really enjoy having science "go to" people around.  :)
