Video Clips
Below are some samples of Dr. Plait's public speaking and television interviews. Some of them are direct dubs of studio tapes, while others were captured from tapes made from recording the television broadcast. Due to their size, they have been uploaded to YouTube, and can be accessed directly below. For updates, please check Dr. Plait's YouTube channel.
Also, in 2007, Dr. Plait started a video podcast (a vidcast or vlog) called "Q and BA" where he answers listeners' questions about astronomy. It's on hiatus for the moment until June, but the first seven episodes are online on his website.
