The Common Good Podcast

Doug Pagitt and Dan Deitrich sit down with Astrophysicist Paul Wallace to talk about the mysteries of the universe like a dead star with something like a volcano (but also not actually at all like a volcano) emitting "alien" radio pulses.

 

Paul Wallace is an astrophysicist, professor, pastor, and avid birder. He writes and speaks at the intersection of faith and science and holds a PhD in physics from Duke University and an MDiv from Emory University’s Candler School of Theology.
