Exoplanet Bonanza - Interview Simon O'toole

[gaa_ian (Ian)]

Had a very successful interview with Simon O'toole from the AAO today on my science show.
We discussed the double whammy discovery of Planets (visually) around both Fomalhaut and the star HR8799.
I will post the Audio transcript up on www.askthescienceguru.com once I download the transcript from the station.
This was doubly a success as it was the first time our station has done a live to air interview on the newly installed live to air phone !

I have never been so close to someone so famous as your good self Ian.

Now that you've posted this here Ian, I guess I'll have to re-work some of my answers to Mike's email interview.

Hi Simon
Great to see you up here on IIS
I have finally go the first part of the podcast up and live !
It was more difficult than I expected.
The Audio quality of the phone connection is not as good as i expected.
I had to do a lot of editing to get it audiable & I have had to split the interview up to get the file size small enough !
Ah ... the joys of podcasting !
Anyhow, here it is (Part 1):

It is very satisfying none the less to get this interview up online.
Thank you again Simon
