If the universe is so vast, why haven’t we seen evidence of aliens yet? I asked this (and several other questions!) to Dr. Alex Howe, a NASA scientist who studies exoplanets. He has a podcast of his own called “A Reader’s History of Science Fiction”, and also does science fiction writing on his blog “Science Meets Fiction”.
Special thanks to Alex for speaking with me, and also to composer Nathan Towns. Nathan is a friend of mine who “just on a whim slapped together some spooky sounds” for me to use in this episode. I truly appreciate them both for their help!
