SUBJECT: INQUIRY FOR NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON'S "STARTALK" ON NAT GEO
National Geographic is searching for an expert to participate in a
live panel discussion with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson for
"StarTalk", the new Nat Geo talk show where "science and pop culture
collide".
The format of our show is for Dr. Tyson, a topical expert, and a
comedian co-host to discuss a featured pre-taped interview. Dr. Tyson
landed a last minute interview last week with David Crosby, and their
conversation was focused primarily on culture, the 60s, and the
message of music.
The taping we'd like to invite you to our taping tomorrow night, this
WEDNESDAY JULY 22ND IN NYC AT 10PM
Some links to recent press are also listed below - Please let me know

Update! They are taping an installment of Neil deGrasse Tyson's "StarTalk" tomorrow night in New York City and are looking for an expert specifically on 1960's pop culture/music. The expert will be involved in discussing an interview with David Crosby. This is very last minute, so if you're interested, contact producer Drew Pulley using the information in the message above and tell them H-Net sent you!
