Lexman is joined by Ann Druyan, the widow of famed science fiction writer Carl Sagan, to discuss her memoir "The Life & Death of a Star: The Murder of a Cosmic Cloud." Druyan discusses her early experiences with methadone, the fateful night in 1987 when a star killed a nearby puking comet, and her deep feelings about the Romanov family.

Ann Druyan, the wife of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, discusses her husband's views on politics and his advice for aspiring politicians. Druyan also shares memories of her husband, who passed away in 1991.

In Episode 26 of The Hottest Party On TV podcast, actress & writer Jocelyn Druyan is in the spotlight. One of the OG Club MTV dancers, Jocelyn joined the show right at the very beginning when it launched in the summer of 1987, so it was fun to get her take on the early days of the show and how it evolved while she was there. If you were a fan of the show, you'll likely remember her for her signature braid that she wore. Remember that, as we will touch on that later in the interview. In the years since Club MTV, Jocelyn has really flourished in the acting world and has taken part in some great film, theatre, and voice-over projects. We get into all of that, plus her connection to Debbie Gibson. Episode produced by Esteban Vargas. Stay tuned for new episodes dropping every Throwback Thursday.

   Ann Druyan has brought the universe to millions around the world. The wife of the late Carl Sagan, Ann is a renowned science communicator and producer/writer and co-creator of the upcoming series Cosmos: Possible Worlds. She is the author of the companion book of the same name.  She is an Emmy and Peabody award-winning writer and producer. She co-created and wrote the 1980 TV series Cosmos with Carl Sagan, whom she later married. She also co-created, wrote, produced, and directed the follow up series, 2014’s Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey and 2020’s Cosmos: Possible Worlds. She was also creative director for NASA’s Voyager Interstellar Message Project and her brain waves are part of the golden record that has traveled outside our solar system. Druyan discusses her fascinating voyage through the most mysterious phenomena in the cosmos. We discuss her family’s remarkable role as science ambassadors including not only her marriage to Carl Sagan, but her remarkable daughter Sasha Sagan who is continuing their role as the First Family of the Cosmos! Ann talked about her and Carl’s collaboration on the original Cosmos series, their multiple books, and Voyager’s famous golden record. She also shares lessons on love, parenthood, and the importance of science communication.  In addition to her award-winning writing and directing, she has an asteroid named after her, 4970 Druyan (which is in companion orbit with asteroid 2709 Sagan).  Her brain waves were recorded onto Voyager’s golden record that is traveling outside our solar system. In fact, she is the first guest on INTO THE IMPOSSIBLE who can say she already has a billion year time capsule in response to my standard question about monoliths! Five billion years, in fact, as that’s how long the golden record was designed to last.  00:07:37  Ann Druyan has brought science to millions.00:15:42  Druyan and Sagan’s love is part of the Voyager recordings.

In the second installation of discussing Cosmos: Possible Worlds, Justin and Lance are again joined by Ann Druyan to discuss humans place in the universe and to put our existence into perspective. tags: tsou, universe, space, cosmos, ann druyan, human, justin weller, lance jackson, earth, stars, national geographic

Science is a diverse and wide-ranging field that is often underappreciated. Justin and Lance are joined by Ann Druyan, author of Cosmos: Possible Worlds, to discuss what makes us human and our place in our universe. tags: universe, space, tsou, cosmos, ann druyan, human, justin weller, lance jackson, earth, stars, national geographic

“I want to create moments that make us feel united with other Earthlings, without the dogmas that divides us.  Religion, at its best, facilitates empathy, gratitude and awe. Science, at its best, reveals true grandeur beyond our wildest dreams.  My hope is that I can merge these into some new thing that will serve my daughter, my family and you, dear reader, as we navigate - and celebrate - the mysterious beauty and terror of being alive in our universe” This week is my birthday week so it seems oh so appropriate to pull this one from the archives.  I bet you too will want to be friends with Sasha Sagan after listening!  

In this sequel to Carl Sagan’s beloved classic and the companion to the hit television series hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson, the primary author of all the scripts for both this season and the previous season of Cosmos, Ann Druyan explores how science and civilization grew up together. From the emergence of life at deep-sea vents to solar-powered starships sailing through the galaxy, from the Big Bang to the intricacies of intelligence in many life forms, Druyan documents where humanity has been and where it is going, using her unique gift of bringing complex scientific concepts to life. With evocative photographs and vivid illustrations, she recounts momentous discoveries, from the Voyager missions in which she and her husband, Carl Sagan, participated to Cassini-Huygens’s recent insights into Saturn’s moons. This breathtaking sequel to Sagan’s masterpiece explains how we humans can glean a new understanding of consciousness here on Earth and out in the cosmos — again reminding us that our planet is a pale blue dot in an immense universe of possibility. Druyan and Shermer also discuss: how to write a script for a television series her 20 years with Carl Sagan and what their collaboration meant how she dealt with her grief after Carl’s death (and how any of us can deal with such pain) who the Voyager records were really for Breakthrough Starshot science and religion God and morality free will and determinism the hard problem of consciousness the Fermi Paradox (where is everybody?) women in science how we can eventually settle on other worlds, and how to reach the stars … and beyond. Ann Druyan is a celebrated writer and producer who co-authored many bestsellers with her late husband, Carl Sagan. She also famously served as creative director of the Voyager Golden Record, sent into space 40 years ago. Druyan continues her work as an interpreter of the most important scientific discoveries, partnering with NASA and the Planetary Society. She has served as Secretary of the Federation of American Scientists and is a laureate of the International Humanist Academy. Most recently, she received both an Emmy and Peabody Award for her work in conceptualizing and writing National Geographic’s first season of Cosmos. Listen to Science Salon via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Play Music, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, and TuneIn.

Cosmos has been around since 1980, and the optimistic tone of both the late Carl Sagan’s show and the current iteration hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson has been the hallmark of the series. In its effort to make science more accessible and more inspirational to the average viewer, Cosmos: Possible Worlds has taken us on powerful visual journeys through space and time, and much of the credit for the impact of the show’s message must go to writer and executive producer Ann Druyan and the always relatable host Neil deGrasse Tyson, who spoke to us before the March 9th premiere on Nat Geo.In the podcast, Druyan and Tyson share some of the topics the new season of Cosmos: Possible Worlds will explore and appreciate along with our hosts the attention to detail that goes into the design of this science show.

Sé un mecenas de ERA Magazine. Rufus T. Firefly dan un paso más en su carrera. Si en Magnolia, las hordas indies les auparon al olimpo de la música de nuestro país, con Loto parecen haber afinado más si cabe esa combinación de pop, rock y psicodelia. Aquí encontramos referencias explícitas a la cultura popular tanto clásica, The Beatles, como contemporáneas, “Stranger Things”, “Black Mirror”, “Final Fantasy”. El espacio psicodélico # Víctor, bienvenido al podcast de ERA Magazine. Primero de todo, cuéntame la historia de Loto, cuándo lo piensas como una segunda parte de Magnolia y por qué decides hacerlo. # Musicalmente, ¿para ti, qué diferencias tiene con respecto a Magnolia? # Vamos a comprobar lo que nos cuentas con la primera canción que presentas “Druyan & Sagan”. # Magnolia os consolidó como grupo por excelencia del indie nacional, ahora “Loto” refuerza esa teoría. ¿Estáis en el mejor momento creativo, tanto tú como el resto de la banda? ¿Cuál es el límite? # Háblame de la figura de Manuel Cabezalí en la producción de los discos de Rufus T. Firefly. # La segunda canción, “Loto”. # En este disco la nómina de colaboradores se ha ampliado, ¿no? Brian Hunt, Martí Perarnau, Julián Maeso, Lyndon Parish… ¿Qué aportan al conjunto final estas colaboraciones? # Turno de las letras, ¿se hacen a la vez que Magnolia, después? Sí que hay es referencias a series, películas, videojuegos, grupos… # Escuchamos ahora la tercera, “Un breve e insignificante momento en la breve y insignificante historia de la humanidad”. # ¿Y cómo se presenta el otoño, muchas actuaciones? # La última canción que escucharemos, “Final Fantasy”.

Porque a la gente le encanta la música indie, pero todavía no lo sabe. Adiós. Rufus T. Firefly Loto (Lago Naranja Records, 2018) www.rufustf.comFacebook | Twitter | YouTube | Bandcamp | Instagram La entrada #292 Rufus T. Firefly, una continuación sorprendente se publicó primero en ERA Magazine.

Rufus T. Firefly presenta Loto, su último álbum o, mejor dicho, una continuación del anterior, Magnolia. Y para aclarar todo lo relativo a su trayectoria, nadie mejor que Iris Banegas, fotógrafa y artista visual, responsable de parte del diseño en Loto. La también bajista del grupo Lázaro nos visita en el estudio para analizar el cierre de una “etapa de exploración psicodélica y setentera”. Interviene Julián Maeso (colaborador en “San Junípero”); y, cómo no, el productor Manuel Cabezalí (Havalina). Más adelante escuchamos el particular mensaje de Martí Perarnau (Mucho), y el de Eric Montefusco, clara referencia para Rufus. Les siguen Viva Suecia, Iván Ferreiro y la banda Cala Vento, a la que citan en el tema “Un breve e insignificante momento en la breve e insignificante historia de la humanidad”. Completan la madrugada los mensajes de sus padres y la llamada de Rayden. En la parte menos planificada del programa, pero la más auténtica, Impromadrid narra la historia de un trabajo alienante que termina en un florero; y recrea, a su manera, el espacio exterior. En acústico suenan, entre otros temas, “Demogorgon” y “Druyan & Sagan”, incluidos en Loto. En la recta final, Patricia Costa nos acerca preguntas de seguidores a través de las que descubrimos, por ejemplo, qué es lo más raro que les han llamado hasta el momento.

Hosts: Ed Brown, Penny Dumsday, Lucas Randall. 00:01:03 The Ancient Romans built sea walls with concrete that is still standing in many places today. What made their concrete so much stronger than modern concrete? 00:08:24 The chances of finding life on Mars grew even slimmer after a study found chemicals in the Martian soil are highly toxic. 00:15:54 Animals that use tools aren't uncommon, and neither are animals that make sounds to attract mates. But the Palm cockatoo could be the first non-human animal to do both - they use tools to make music. 00:28:47 In 1977 the Voyager spacecraft were launched carrying the Golden Records - gold-plated copper records containing images, sounds and music from Earth. And in one small segment of the record there's the sound of a man laughing. Adrienne LaFrance at The Atlantic wrote about her intensive investigation to track down who that man was and why his laughter is on a billion-year time capsule.   This episode contains traces of Al Gore talking about climate change on Triple J radio's Hack.

Pascal's wager is one of those things that you find either ridiculous or intriguing. There appears to be no middle ground. But most people yearn for some form of immortality and the wager is one of the few things which have a chance of providing it, and perhaps it shouldn't be dismissed so easily. Also Pascal's wager is frequently applied as a thought experiment with no practical application. Viewing the wager from the standpoint of a believer is far more productive.

This week, Point of Inquiry is delighted to welcome Ann Druyan, co-writer and co-creator of both the original Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, starring her late husband Carl Sagan, as well as the new series, Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, starring Neil deGrasse Tyson. In a wide-ranging discussion, Druyan talks to Josh Zepps about how the first Cosmos series came to be, her efforts to translate the majesty of science into relatable and accessible storytelling, and how we've progressed toward making a more reasonable and humane society. We also get a little bit of insight into what it was like to get to know Carl Sagan for the first time.  Ann Druyan co-wrote with Sagan the books Comet, Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, and sections of The Demon-Haunted World. Their twenty-year professional collaboration also included NASA’s Voyager Interstellar Message (the famous "Golden Record" aboard the Voyager spacecraft) along with many articles, speeches, and other written works. She is co-founder and CEO of Cosmos Studios, as well as Program Director of Cosmos 1, the first solar sailing spacecraft mission.  Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey premiered March 9, 2014 simultaneously in the US across ten FOX networks in 125 countries, and on National Geographic networks in 180 countries, making it the largest global launch of a TV series in history.

Ann Druyan is an author, public lecturer, and TV and movie writer and producer whose work focuses on the worldview of science. She is the widow of Carl Sagan, the great astronomer and public advocate of science and reason. With him, she co-wrote the Emmy Award Winning and the Peabody Award Winning television series Cosmos. She served as Creative Director for NASA's Voyager Interstellar Record Project, the goldern record on the Voyager Spacecrafts that includes visual images and music and she co-created and produced the movie Contact, which is based on the novel Contact that she co-wrote with Carl Sagan. She is also the author or co-author of several other books, including A Famous Broken Heart, and Comet, which was on the New York Times best seller list for two months. She edited the recent title, Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God, which is Carl Sagan's last book. In this wide-ranging discussion with D.J. Grothe, Druyan discusses the new book The Varieties of Scientific Experience, her relationship with Carl Sagan, science as an outlook on life, what Sagan called "informed worship," the use of the word "spiritual" by nonreligious people, the humility of science, skepticism about politics and the paranormal, and the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence. She also explores the place of humanity in the cosmos, the relationship of science to religion, and whether they are compatible.

This week on Skepticality, we're very pleased to present Dr. Michael Shermer's new, in-depth interview with author and editor Ann Druyan, wife of the late Dr. Carl Sagan. In this insightful hour, Ann gives us a look into Dr. Sagan's thoughts on science, religion, and her decision to collect his acclaimed Gifford Lectures in the new book "The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal� View of the Search for God.

Features an interview with author and science popularizer Ann Druyan, who was married to Carl Sagan, and co-wrote and co-produced the movie, "Contact," based on Carl Sagan's novel. Ms. Druyan has written the foreward to a new book by Sagan appearing in November, The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God, based on the newly-discovered transcripts of his Gifford Lecture Series. The show will also include a little news, a little music (Lena Horne singing the irreverent "Ain't It the Truth," by atheist lyricist Yip Harburg), and sound bites from the recent FFRF convention by participants from around the country. Dan Barker's Pagan Pulpit will address The Golden Rule. (MP3, 51 min, 23 MB)

Ann Druyan is a renowned author, lecturer, and television and motion picture writer/producer whose work mostly explores the implications of science and technology for our society. She is the widow of the great Carl Sagan with whom she was a co-writer of the Emmy and Peabody Award winning television series Cosmos. She served as Creative Director for the NASA Voyager Interstellar Record Project that included music and images on the Voyager Spacecrafts that serve as a greeting to possible alien civilizations. She co-created and co-produced of the Oscar nominated movie Contact starring Jodie Foster, which is based on the novel of the same name that she co-wrote with Carl Sagan. She is also the author or co-author of several other books, including A Famous Broken Heart, and Comet, which was on the New York Times best seller list for two months. Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, also written with Carl Sagan, was another New York Times best seller. Druyan has a new book out in November entitled The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God, which explores hers and Sagan's views on science and religion. Druyan is co-founder and CEO of Cosmos Studios, which produces science-based entertainment across many types of media. Since 2000, Cosmos Studios has produced four documentaries, including "Cosmic Journey" which was nominated for an Emmy for the best nature/science documentary. She is a Fellow of CSICOP at the Center for Inquiry. In this discussion with DJ Grothe, she stresses the point that people can have a sense of awe and wonder about the universe without having to believe in God or the supernatural, discusses the work of Carl Sagan and his lasting impact, examines the growing need for scientific literacy in our society, and shares why, despite the current cultural war against science, she is optimistic about the future. Also in this episode, Carl Sagan's last public address for CSICOP, from its conference in Seattle in 1994, is presented in its entirety. In this keynote, entitled "Wonder and Skepticism," Sagan eloquently conveys prescient insights about the future of science and technology, argues why science is the best way of looking at the world, shares almost prophetic statements about the cultural war against science in America today, passionately calls for tempering skepticism with a humane understanding of why it is so easy in our society to not be skeptical, and encourages the listener to foster such appreciation for this kind of skepticism especially among young people. And in addition, Lauren Becker shares a moving piece entitled "The Gifts of Carl Sagan."
