Advent Podcasts Day 2: PZ Myers

We're keeping our promise here in the blasphemy lab – it's day two of Advent so it's day two of our Advent Podcasts. Behind the window today is the American biologist and hugely popular blogger PZ Myers, who tells you which scientist he'd celebrate at this time of year and what science-related gift he'd like to receive (PZ wants something pretty cool – you'll want one too after you've heard him). Listen through the player below or by downloading the MP3 file. It's up to you:



With 22 days left in Advent we have plenty of big names left to reveal behind our windows, so make sure you don't miss out by checking back regularly to the blog and signing up to the podcast in one of the following ways:

We want to hear your choices: Which scientist or philosopher do you think deserves a Winterval celebration day, and what science-related gift would you like to open on the 25th? Let us know by commenting on this post, and we'll do a round up of the best ones.
