Nice. Note to self - Listen to Shostakovich S. 11, Bach unaccompanied violin.

I appreciate so much that all of these interviews and talks Dr Sagan gave were recorded because otherwise Id have never discovered such an amazing, inspirational man, that did so much for science and for the world. I also love and value science dearly, in much of the same way that Carl did. I'm currently a student, and an older one, studying and learning how to apply the scientific method we use to investigate every part of our beautiful world. I chose the brain! Without media like this, Carl would be a total stranger, unknowable and unthinkable, no thanks! I was raised in an evangelical household and science was almost like a bad word for them. Curiosity and inquiry were certainly not encouraged and with all their answers already in one ridiculous book, what else was left to know? That's what I was taught anyways, but oh how wrong they were...i was. A lot of years were wasted in the dark, not knowing what I didn't know. Ive wondered if my passion would have developed earlier if the mystery of life and all its potential would have been explained differently. As in, factually and truthfully.. I'll never know, but I'm happy to be on this side of reason now and having the opportunity to catch up on all the things I missed when I was little. I'm more than happy that I can have Carl explain so much to me for the first time, now. Honestly I'm kind of in love with him at this point, and I don't even mind saying it lol. A mind like that doesn't come along every day and I'm very lucky to experience it in some way even after his passing. I think often about how much he would have loved to know about all the discoveries weve made in cosmology since then. I am also an atheist, and I don't believe in heaven or hell, but if there is any continuation, I like to think think he'll somehow get to learn all that stuff somehow somewhere. Thank you Dr Sagan💚

A lot of folks don't know that Carl Sagan was a moderate user of Marijuana. He credited the ideas for the cosmos series with its use. He didn't admit this until late in life -- had he done so earlier he would have lost security clearance. And maybe jailed.

11:39 "...and our next LP called Time Out..." This interview was conducted mere months before a grand upheaval in both Brubeck's career, as well as the overall development of jazz.

Marvellous ❤

Sounds like Roy Plomley interviewing

I never got through any fairy stories but I wanted to write one myself...

The sound quality is amazing considering that it’s a radio programme archived 65 years ago and it would have been on some analogue tape most of that time.

It's hard for interviewer to ask proper questions when he hasn't read them or did but isn't into em

This is absolutely incredible😮 Thank you so much for posting...it offers such a glimpse into the wonderful mind of Marlene... and I love how respectful and knowledgeable the interviewer is.

Wish there were more like him

Brilliant. Every Bond fan needs to hear this.

❤❤❤

To echo Carl Sagan‘s last statement “I enjoyed this immensely“! I remember getting the book cosmic connections along with my first refracting telescope from Sears as a young boy. I didn’t expect to enjoy this interview as much as I did! Something for the left and the right hemispheres.

😂

Ok then

Yes we are

We are?

As the interviewer suggests, Frodo does sort of become Christ-like at the end, during The Scouring of the Shire. He wants no hobbit to kill another hobbit; no retribution is to be taken on the ruffians who have invaded The Shire; once subdued, they are to be shown to the borders. And, of course, his treatment of Saruman is particularly angelic. But one shouldn't forget that, ultimately, Frodo failed in his quest, for without Gollum the ring would not have been destroyed. This was quite a conscious choice on Tolkien's part. He said that Frodo was an example of someone who "had been asked to do too much," something beyond which he was constitutionally (psychologically, emotionally, physically) capable. This undercuts the idea of Frodo being a perfect spiritual being -- for who could identify with such a being? It is his very imperfection -- his striving toward an ideal and failing -- with which we identify.

Thanks for posting!❤

Thank you.

Fantastic interview and insight into Carl Sagan’s mind, thanks for sharing.

God the world needs him now more than ever. You are missed Carl Sagan.

His voice reminds me of Willie Rushton

Well done and he certainly is!

One of my favorite moments from Flemings books is when he has the armourer Q explain the new handgun to Bond. A .38 at 860 feet per second. You be the judge.

thanks for posting!

I have come to love and admire Sagan, and have enjoyed watching his video's with captions. I need them and miss them here.

Never knew he was on DIDs.

33:20 I would imagine getting a genuine laugh from Carl Sagan would've been the highlight of the interview for Roy Plomley, at least it would've been for me!

Genius writer, taken far too soon. Sleep well Ian and thank you.

Ziggy played guitar and the spiders from mars are having me for dinner tonight.

I don't know why but Dan's voice is so calming and meditative. I genuinely love listening to it just like I listen to classical music.

I love it...the boy-scout handbook!

The book Cosmos entered my life at a very important time. A dark time. But I remember vividly going to a bookstore and opening it to the first chapter and the first sentence read: “The cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be.” I was hooked. And it forever changed me. Thank you, Carl.

he was a fun man 🥲

This is the worst interview ever

"They Live"- Yes indeed they do....

♡

Lord Rest in Peace

He must've been editing You Only Live Twice at the time of this interview, as well as promoting OHMSS.

Brilliant

This is indeed a jam of Daniel ‘s interview. I am glad to have found it.

What a talent he was. Take away the glitzy stuff and he still kicks ass. Lol

Thank you for this jewel 💎 I’ve been reading Dr Sagan’s books for decades, proudly displayed his writings in my personal library, this awesome Scientist exemplify what a fantastic teacher should be, his thoughts provoking books should be made mandatory in every High School. A fantastic humanist, excellent teacher and beautiful human being, sorely missed, never forgotten.

This Great Man made Vegas the Entertainment Capital of the West

This from the BBC’s radio show “ Desert Island Discs” Still going strong . Famous people are asked to imagine they are on a desert island and are allowed to select music and certain things to have with them as they await rescue. The formula works very well . They are available on podcasts at the BBC.

I noticed that nice dodge of the question about Tom Bombadill.

You don't get interviews of this class on British media anymore.

My wish for all mankind is to rediscover each amazing purpose...great example of one who did indeed 🇧🇧🤗
