This week we have an interview with the multi-talented Stephen Granade, who not only works on Dragon*Con TV and the What the Cast? podcast, but is also a real life rocket scientist working on projects for NASA, including the current Hubble repair mission! We talk about teaching science, Space Camp, raising geeky kids, and fun stuff in general. His website and blog is Live Granades and he is Sargent on Twitter.

Stephen also recommends his friend Matthew Amster-Burton’s book Hungry Monkey, about the trial and tribulations of trying to feed your kids.

Thanks so much to Stephen, pictured in the spotlight below!!

Also, Kevin Cumming’s son Evan has also written and is producing an audio drama, The Airship Diaries, and I encourage you all to check it out. Kevin is a proud dad, and Evan’s work sounds great!
