Send us a textBritish L.A.-based playwright Stephen Laughton came sat in-house in the Playwright's Spotlight before the West Coast Premiere of his play One Jewish Boy. In this interview, we discuss the differences in the London, New York, and Los Angeles markets, London gatekeepers and the draw of the London Fringe and its difference to the Edinburgh Fringe, taking advantage of Covid, and the responsibilities and how playwriting applies to the Astrophysics Team at the American Museum of Natural History. Mid conversation we accept a call from Stephen's director and give a live, on-air response. We follow it up with what makes a great hook and how that provides a good story, what British playwrights sound like, stealing from the best, and moving to L.A. to do theatre. Like most Brits, Stephen's a charmer and offers some great stories and insight. Enjoy!For tickets to One Jewish Boy at the Atwater Village Theater in Los Angeles through April 28th, visit - https://echotheatercompany.ludus.com/index.php?show_id=200474485.Stephen Laughton is an award-winning, critically acclaimed writer.

Mr. Harbinger could not quite believe in the Mouth. But poor Mr. Harbinger—or Darwin, if you prefer—are gone to other times. Or Darwin, If You prefer by Mel Hunter. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.If you are a regular listener of the podcast you know we love to discover interesting stories by authors you have never heard of, and that's exactly what we have for you today. Here's what Fantastic Universe had to say, “Mr. Hunter's superb art work has appeared on a baker's dozen science fiction magazine covers during the past year, but incredible as it may seem with this story we introduce him to the reading public for the first time as a science fiction writer. We say incredible, because this is not a beginner's story. It is sparkling, sophisticated, erudite—the work of a craftsman.”This is the first time we have come across an illustrator turned author. And here's the amazing thing, he wasn't any old illustrator, Mel Hunter was a very accomplished illustrator producing illustrations for famous science fiction authors Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein, as well as a technical and scientific illustrator for The Pentagon, Hayden Planetarium in Boston, and the Massachusetts Audubon Society.Hunter was born in 1927 in Oak Park, Illinois and he taught himself book and magazine illustration. He was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Professional Artist in 1960, 1961 and 1962. He became a technical illustrator at Northrop Aircraft where he painted illustrations of advanced aircraft and simulated combat scenarios.His love of air and space took him from California's desert runways to Florida's seacoast launchpads to illustrate every variety of jet-age aircraft and space-age rocket imaginable—from the X-15 to Saturn V. He died in 2004 and according to his final wish, his cremated remains were launched into space on May 22, 2012.Savor this story, immerse yourself in it, and listen to it as many times as your heart desires—for it stands alone, as the singular science fiction story ever penned by Mel Hunter. From Fantastic Universe Magazine in September 1954, this truly amazing story can be found on page 39, Or Darwin, If You prefer by Mel Hunter…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, I bought the door–even though the auctioneer warned of evil.

Whether you're planning to watch from your backyard or travel, it's important to watch the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse safely. On this episode, you'll hear from two experts on what to expect and how to prepare for the celestial phenomenon of the moon blocking out the sun. Northwell Health ophthalmologist Matthew Gorski, MD, explains the risks of staring into the sun and how solar eclipse glasses can protect your vision no matter where you're watching from. Retired meteorologist Joe Rao shares his extensive knowledge on the topic, including personal accounts from many years spent "chasing eclipses." The instructor and guest lecturer at New York's Hayden Planetarium reveals where to be, how to watch if you don't have glasses, what to look for and, most importantly, why everyone should go out of their way to see a solar eclipse: "Without a doubt, the greatest cosmic pageant that can be witnessed.” Chapters: 00:01 - Intro 01:57 - What is a solar eclipse? 03:30 - Dangers of looking into the sun 04:21 - Solar retinopathy 05:44 - What are solar eclipse glasses? 07:28 - Where to get solar eclipse glasses 08:05 - How much do solar eclipse glasses cost? 08:25 - Solar eclipse glasses alternatives 09:50 - Path of totality 2024 11:52 - What will I see if in the Tri-state area? 13:56 - Do solar eclipse glasses expire? 14:50 - Solar eclipse glasses and kids 15:45 - What NOT to do during the solar eclipse 16:20 - Joe Rao talks astronomy and meteorology Get more expert insights from leading experts in the field — Northwell Newsroom.

AUNTIE: Wa'tkwanonhweráton Sewakwékon. On April 8th, 2024 the path of totality of the solar eclipse will fall over our Haudenosaunee homelands surrounding Lake Ontario. It's an historic event that we've been anticipating for years as we remember a similar eclipse that signaled the beginnings our Confederacy generations ago. Today we're visiting with a key carrier of Haudenosaunee astronomy, Samantha Doxtator, who is Wolf Clan of Oneida Nation, to discuss the eclipse and so much more. Samantha's sky teachings were rendered through the great loss of her sister Sasha to cancer in 2021 -- and Samantha's own liminal journey when she fell seriously ill soon after her sister passed. When she recovered - Samantha picked up the astronomy work that Sasha began in university – and now she is sharing powerful insight - in places like Hayden Planetarium in New York City, with NASA in Niagara Falls at the time of the eclipse, and in engagements all across our confederacy. SAMANTHA: Our people we've always been scientists. We've always been astronomers. We're 80 percent stardust and we're just souls… made of flames. AUNTIE: In the wake of our historic eclipse – around a thousand years back – the warring nations that became our confederacy buried weapons and chose great peace with each other. Samantha says the April 8th eclipse is significant because she believes the Haudenosaunee will choose again to bury the weapons of oppression they've experienced through both colonization and lateral violence. SAMANTHA: So on the next solar eclipse that is over our homelands in 120 years when our great grandkids say I wonder what my great, great grandparents did in 2024 – they will have actual concrete historic documents that will say “In 2024, the Haudenosaunee buried their oppression. And they did it for all people.” AUNTIE: I'm Kahstoserakwathe and we are Yetinistéhnha ne tekaronyakánare. The Aunties Dandelion and we're sharing visits with powerful Indigenous changemakers focused on land, language, and connections with each other. Our podcast is possible through the support of Canada's Indigenous Screen Office teyonkhiwihstakénha – wa'tkwenonhweráton.

Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) is the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium, host of StarTalk Radio, and author. He is kind enough to rejoin us and discuss his latest book, Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization. What We Discuss with Neil deGrasse Tyson: The problems society faces when average citizens lose their ability to distinguish between facts and opinions — and how this can be remedied. What some of our dearest opinions look like under the scrutiny of scientific literacy — and why we should feel relief at being proven categorically wrong about some of them. As an educator, what Neil's first urge is when he hears people spreading patently false "information" that can be easily dispelled by basic scientific awareness. (Surprisingly enough, it's not to bop them on the head!) What the history of mathematics might hint about the average human brain's tendency to avoid thinking statistically and probabilistically. Things pondered: Are you a GMO? Eating how many pints of ice cream will kill you? For the benefit of all humanity, who would Neil send into space first? If technology common to us in the 2020s would be unrecognizable to someone from 1990, what will the world look like in 2050? And much more...
