Exotic Pylon Podcast

The lovely Jonny Mugwump of Resonance FM's Saturday night show Exotic Pylon has kindly offered to host the first ever podcast edition of Project Moonbase.

It was posted on the Exotic Pylon website on Saturday 24 July.

You can also listen to it directly here:


This edition of the show is slightly different to our weekly show on Leith FM. For the podcast we look at the science behind Project Moonbase and answer the following important questions:

• What is it all about?
  
• Where did it all come from?
  
• How does Bentleys' Paradox fit in?

There will be practical exercises throughout, together with stimulating music and discussion.

Check back here on Saturday night for a tracklisting for the podcast.

Taking the night off

I'm afraid there was no show this evening. DJ Bongoboy was off getting his dimensions re-aligned and MC Zirconium was back in the hutch having to survive on powdered space food capsules once again.

Normal service will resume next week.
