Dear Friends,
The first of ten episodes of Wired Science, the series I've been producing, premieres on October 3rd. That's this Wednesday at 8 PM on PBS.
I'm incredibly proud of the show.
It's smart, funny, engaging and has taught me loads that I didn't know before.
Check out the video previews at:

The hosts are:
Chris Hardwick (yes, from singled Out). He's friggin hilarious and a legit geek.
His website is http://hardnphirm.wordpress.com/. (PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO UNDER FEINGLASS GETS PHIRMED - V FUNNY)
Ziya Tong - super hottie and smartie pants. In addition to being a great host (she's won the Canadian equivalwent of an Emmy) she's also a good friend and the person who recommended me for this gig.
Kamala Lopes who is talented & lovely &, like me, went to Midwood High School AND was on Sesame Street as a kid. What are the chances?
Adam Rogers - he's the science editor for Wired Magazine and the Meteorite Hunters pieces was his first TV appearance. He's a natural & this show will make him a star.
Depending on what kind of TV viewer you are, maybe you'll watch it because you donate to PBS and you want to know how I’m spending your money, or perhaps you'll watch it because it's HD and it will let you enjoy the full functionality of your flat screen investment, or maybe you'll watch because you are my grandma.
Whatever reason you watch, I think you’ll enjoy it.
If you prefer not to commit your TIVO time until you know what the UConn Daily Campus has o say - well look no further. There is a ridiculously hyperbole filled review at: http://media.www.dailycampus.com/media/storage/paper340/news/2007/09/26/Focus/Wired.Takes.On.Tv.In.science-2992949.shtml
In other news, I've been spending loads of time in the edit bay.
For any of you who work in television (or movies or promos), you'll appreciate these two links.

Love the new show on PBS. I'm a science teacher at Midwood -- been there since 1992. It's good to see a pair of alums associated with such a fantastic project. Regards, Glenn Elert mailto:elert@midwoodscience.org
