Are We Alone? is the SETI Institute's weekly science radio program, hosted by Senior Astronomer Seth Shostak. The show covers a broad range of topics in the sciences as they relate to our understanding of the origin and evolution of life on Earth, and what life elsewhere in the universe might be like. Each week's show has a theme and allows scientists to share their latest findings and speculate on the implications for SETI (the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) and society in general.
Molly Bentley is the Executive producer of the radio show. She and Seth Shostak choose topics, write scripts and line up guests. She is also a co-host and interviewer on the show.
Guests include scientists and researchers from academic, public and private spheres (including NASA), popular science writers, cultural critics and ethicists focused on science. One show a month is devoted to critical thinking and debunkers of junk science and the paranormal: "Skeptical Sunday").
Archived shows are available via podcast or as .mp3 or WMA files on the SETI Institute's radio show website at http://radio.seti.org.
