Out of Spacepod's 200+ episodes, four have been guests who have been pitched by publicists. I respect publicists who are good at their jobs. But some of these pitches are bananapants.

Okay I get a lot of emails from publicists about people who would be "great guests on your show" but this guest (and list of potential topics) really takes the cake. Lol imagine a Spacepod episode about:

1. Natural Ingredients roles and their benefits for overall health and growth in both children and adults.
2. Holistic Hair Care: Holistic approaches to hair care, focusing on diet, exercise, and stress management to promote hair health and overall well-being.

Thrilled that Quanzhi Ye won the DPS Urey Prize! Here's him on the show in 2017:

I made him try a "Midnight Mint Mocha Frappucino" from Starbucks. He was a good sport about it. Spacepod, the only show that gets prize winning scientists to try silly drinks.

In this upcoming episode I decided to ask a very serious scientist who studies Uranus' moons what he thought about Uranus jokes and I have no regrets.
