The first podcast of the biojournalism.com blog is here — hopefully this is a weekly occurrence, although I have to say that it was a bit of work to put together. Thanks go out to Kurt Mehlenbacher — my roommate — for the very-few-holds-barred use of his music. I’d point you in the direction of his website, but there isn’t one…. yet.

The podcast is a summary of some selected science news over the past week and is presented in a pseudo-quiz show style. If you haven’t kept up on your science news, this podcast covers news published between 2/17/08 - 2/23/08.

I dont’ want to post a summary of what the podcast is about, because that would ruin the suspense. Subscribe to the feed, or listen to the podcast below:
