Beyond Santa’s Sleigh (Ep. 024)

Listen to Episode 24 on YouTube. It’s easier than listening on podcast apps.

In this episode, host Jay Douglas takes another look skyward with Dr. Ed Krupp, director of the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. As we scan the skies looking for Santa this holiday season, Dr. Krupp paints a fascinating picture of what lies beyond Santa’s sleigh. Listen as Dr. Krupp explains why the heavens are a backdrop for the debt we owe to past and future scientists. It’s another Out Of My Mind Short Story.

Out Of My Mind is on YouTube

youtube-logoForget about fiddling around with podcast apps and players that don’t work when you want to listen to Out Of My Mind. We’ve moved all our episodes to YouTube. Don’t worry. We haven’t gone Hollywood, and you won’t have to look at Jay’s face for 17 minutes a week. It’s the same podcast you’ll find on iTunes but with a static picture slapped on it so YouTube thinks it’s a video.

Go to outofmymindpodcastonyoutube.com, pick what you want to listen to and enjoy.

Not only does listening on YouTube take fewer steps, but a single click on the Read Show Notes banner at the beginning and end of each show will take you right to the show notes. No more working your way through the website. In the coming weeks, we’ll post bonus interviews and comments from guests you won’t find anywhere else online. And we’ll take popular interviews and features and put them in their own videos so you can listen to them without having to listen to the entire program (do not tell Jay about this).

If you have a Google account (and, honestly, who doesn’t), you can subscribe on YouTube and receive a notification whenever we post something new. You can also leave comments about the show right there while you’re listening. We think listening to Out Of My Mind on YouTube will be a more pleasant experience for you. Let us know if we’re right or what we can do to make it better.

The economics of podcasting require  shows like Out Of My Mind to have at least 200 downloads every day to attract a sponsor, and I can tell you we’re not even close. But with your help we will be. Thanks for supporting the launch of our little program and thanks for helping us grow.
