Are We A Blog?: Venus

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)

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:

The Turkey That Ate St. Louis
