About these Podcasts

By profession, I am a talker, not a writer. For thirty years, I have presented science demonstrations to live audiences at the Museum of Science in Boston. When I write my stories, I talk them through before committing them to paper. So offering these stories as podcasts seems the natural way for me to share them with you. However, whether you listen to the podcast or read the story, I hope you enjoy them just the same.
