I have 99% of Michio Kaku's shows in mp3 format and can upload them here, why jump through hoops with these programs where you have sign up, download their program and upload shows to them or they won't let you use it, in most cases have to wait forever to download a file. If you don't want to do it the easy way that is fine with me also.
Art's interview with Michio Kaku from 09-12-02
I have a bit of a story about this guest. I first heard coast to coast around 1995 when I happened to catch it with my Father. While I liked the show I couldn't really get into it because of high school and the schedule I was on, except the odd weekend. In 1997 after I graduated high school I began my first year of University, studying Fine Arts. That fall I was up at a friend's cabin for a weekend. We smoked a joint and threw on the radio and happened to stumble across C2C. It was the first time my friend had heard it ever, and the first time I had come back to the show in a long time. The guest was a guy who was talking about the weirdest stuff - time travel, black holes and the 10th dimension. Unlike most of the guests on the show, he seemed to have an air of expertise and spoke with authority on these esoteric topics. It was Michio Kaku.I was hanging on his every word. He had me hook line and sinker. When I got back in town I raced to the nearest bookstore to pick up the book "that guy on C2C wrote". I devoured his book Hyperspace and then started looking around for other books by Kaku, Sagan, Hawking and Einstein. I was so amazed by this new intellectual landscape in front of me that I dropped out of Fine Arts, went back to high school and picked up my physics, math and chemistry. This was no small task - all my life I had problems with mathematics and the physical sciences. A lot of people told me I was crazy when they heard I was going to do this. This time, I *wanted* to do well in these subjects and learn the material so I could more fully understand the theories that interested me. I nailed all of my courses and when I went back to University two years later I was accepted into the Faculty of Science and began to study physics. I earned my BSc with full honors in 2004 and I'm now working on my Ph.D. in Astrophysics.If it weren't for hearing Michio Kaku talk about this stuff that night I would never have found his book and I would never have made the moves that I did. I owe my current path in life to his book Hyperspace and that Coast to Coast episode in 1997!
I found Michio news on CNN today.http://www.cnn.com/2011/SHOWBIZ/TV/02/18/firefly.returns.ew/index.html?hpt=SbinMaybe some good news for Firefly fans also.
Dr. Michio Kaku is scheduled to be a guest on this Thursday.Unfortunately, he's a guest of George. This disappoints me greatly. Dr. Kaku has usually been paired with Art to great effect. I simply do not think George has what it takes to interview an actual scientist of Dr. Kaku's statute with any degree of poise or intellect. Art + Dr. Kaku = Very Informative, Engaging Intellectual DiscussionGeorge + Dr. Kaku = 100 Monkeys at 100 Typewriters Randomly Pecking Toward ShakespeareI can't bring myself to listen, and I love all of Art's shows with Dr. Kaku. I find Dr. Kaku's work fascinating, but I have absolutely no confidence that George can articulate, frame, or elicit intriguing discussion from this sort of guest.
I will listen for Michio Kaku. He has the ability to make you forget all about the inability of a certain host, who shall remain nameless to put together a decent interview... Even if for a seemingly short period of time.
Too bad Michio can't take over the helm of C2C.....
As much as I love Dr. Kaku as a guest, he'd make a terrible host for C2C.He doesn't have the entertainment factor. The great thing about Art was his ability to make topics that you didn't even care about RIVETING. C2C needs an entertainer again. Not a physicist.
Just so happened that a friend and Art Bell Fan sent me three CD's in 2003, most of them are .ra files from 97, 98 and 99, there are many Dreamland shows on those CD's, over time I have recorded them to mp3 format. We used to have a pay forward program and I sent out and recieved hundreds of shows, some of these shows are available here..http://home.comcast.net/~labvid/flash/hold/MediaFire.html
Cool story.
He's also got a fantastic kinda "11 years and up" approach with his style of communication. I'm no quantum physicist, obviously, but he made some very difficult things to understand, very simple. I know that is a mantra of his but it is sometimes and art in itself. I also find that Art, whilst clearly intelligent, didn't feel the need to obliterate conversations with useless, long words.
Kaku seems to have the same gift that Sagan had for explaining difficult concepts in simple ways.
