This is cool news, via Leslie Kean’s Facebook page.
I’m working with the award-winning film company Break Thru Films on a two hour TV special for the History Channel, based on the book. This has been a major focus for about 6 weeks. On Saturday we’re going to Belgium, the Channel Islands and France to shoot [...]
Nice interview with Leslie Kean and Michio Kaku. The intro is amusing – I guess he’s trying to get people interested in science. He’s a nice antidote to Neil deGrasse Tyson, who’s come down hard against the UFO issue. I like Kaku’s robotic virus theory at the beginning.

A post on the Huffington Post by Seth Shostak led to this book by Paul Davies (I’ve read his God and the New Physics), which includes a very good interview:
Q: What’s wrong with existing SETI?
