Fast Forward Radio, Episode 7

There's been a lot of spooky talk around the blogosphere these past couple of weeks about a phenomenon called Podfading -- the slow but sure disappearance of a regular podcast over time. Well, here at the Speculist we are pleased to inform you that podfading is no more a threat than those Martian spacecraft reported to have touched down in Grover's Mill, New Jersey.
That's right...Fast Forward Radio is back!
In this show we cover:
- It's a new Phil!
- NASA's Centennial Challenge program and "push prizes" in general.
- The Lego Difference Engine and why the old difference engine idea might be important in the future.
- Real life zombies!
In the show Stephen wondered whether humans are ever mentally manipulated by parasites. Apparently we are.
As always, we are showcasing an up-and-coming artist from garageband.com. This month it's Cody Lee's "Sympathetic Lies."
