Episode 19: Brother Guy Consolmagno, Vatican Astronomer

Doug continues his streak of not being the smartest guy on the show as he talks with Brother Guy, an M.I.T.-educated Jesuit astronomer who works for The Vatican Observatory, splitting his time between the Vatican and its satellite research center at the University of Arizona. He's a veteran of the Peace Corps, won the 2014 Sagan Medal and appeared on The Colbert Report. Also, he's authored or co-authored numerous books, most recently Would You Baptize An Extraterrestial? with a fellow Jesuit, Fr. Paul Mueller. As of the writing of this, host Doug Connolly has done none of those things.

[Note: Apologies to Fr. Paul Mueller for mispronouncing his name in the preface to the interview.]
