Are We A Blog?: Seth on Larry King Live

Confessions of an Alien Hunter
Aliens are big in America. Whether they’ve arrived via rocket, flying saucer, or plain old teleportation, they’ve been invading, infiltrating, or inspiring us for decades, and they’ve fascinated moviegoers and television watchers for more than fifty years.

Seth’s new book, Confessions of An Alien Hunter: A Scientist’s Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (National Geographic Books) offers an entertaining and expert account of the facts, fantasies, and future of finding intelligence elsewhere in the universe, and how real science differs from the Hollywood view of extraterrestrial life.

Seth on the Radio!
Okay, since he hosts Are We Alone? every week, that's perhaps not so novel, but here are a couple of Seth's recent appearances on other radio programs:

On Point with Tom Ashbrook (WBUR, Boston) (click "Listen to this Show" at the very top of the page)

Coast to Coast with George Noory (listening options are on the right)

It Came From Seth's Brain!

When Seth isn't hosting Are We Alone? he's kept locked away in a sensory deprivation chamber where electrodes hooked up to his brain extract ideas that are developed by robotic chimps into "essays". Compiled here are just a few of his writings, as well as this popular item from his film making past:

Ted Judah said...: Wow. I never knew Dan Akroyd was such a kook. He says, "Let's keep it grounded in science..." and "let science just accept that they are here." you mean based on grainy photos and angry ex generals' stories? Science requires evidence Dan.; May 1, 2010 at 8:44 PM
Ben said...: I think Seth did a fine job but man is Larry King Live a bad show...constant commercials, terrible questions, too many panelists...; May 1, 2010 at 9:24 PM
George said...: This was really entertaining. Seth seemed to be the only one truly grounded in reality.; May 3, 2010 at 9:02 AM
Householdutensils said...: w00t! Good showing by Michio and Seth!! However, I'm a little disappointed that Dan Akroyd was included in the panel, it seemed to trivialize the discussion somewhat :(; May 3, 2010 at 7:56 PM
Anonymous said...: Seth tried his best to keep the whole discussion Earth-centric, but Dan Aykroyd did his best to open people's minds a bit... a civilization with a million years of scientific advancement over us certainly wouldn't be concerned with our own terrestrial limitations.; May 4, 2010 at 7:03 PM
Thomas Zoega Ramsøy said...: Way to go Seth. How on Earth can Akroyd get air time for these idiotic claims? science should accept? No it will not accept if there is no evidence! Amazed greetings from Denmark; May 6, 2010 at 1:21 PM
