Get the Presentation Here This is the audio from the panel discussion I participated in with Rod Adams and Eric McErlain at the American Nuclear Society 2006 Winter Meeting in Albequerque, NM. In this episode you'll hear Rod Adams and I discussing the new media, blogging, podcasting, and sharing the truth about nuclear energy using these fantastic new media forms. The panel discussion was more than 2 hours long, so I was not able to include Eric's comments (the audio on Eric's part was not as clear). Also, the session was facilitated by Lisa Stiles-Shell. Nice job, Lisa!
