I have just learned that my Brave New Bioethics podcast has gone on the air in the nationally syndicated radio program Al Kresta in the Afternoon. (Kresta is also on satellite radio and streams live on the Internet.) This is terrific news. In doing the commentaries, I had hoped to reach people who might not read my articles and visit here at Secondhand Smoke. As I understand it, the commentaries are played on the air, Kresta reacts, and the issue becomes the subject of call ins. I am thrilled. Hooray for the new media!
