Book Description

October 1, 1997
The zany star of the long-running radio series heard daily on more than 150 public radio stations nationwide, Dr. Science alternately enlightens, entertains and enrages the bemused masses as the world's foremost authoritarian. Now, Dr. Science has put together another collection of his most remarkable answers to our science questions, and it's time to--"Get Smart!".

Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

With a package that's as silly as its contents ("All questions included on the enclosed sound recording are guaranteed either authentic or fabricated."), the program features 57 responses from Dr. Science to questions about computers, junk mail, test scores, Q-Tips, ozone, Velcro, karma--you get the idea. While some of it is funny, most of it isn't, but at least the readers are having fun, which by itself is rather infectious. To appreciate this sort of humor, you probably have to be a Dr. Science fan or middle-school student with a corny sense of humor.

More About the Author

I'm a writer who lives in Iowa and has written lots and lots of absurd short plays that have never been produced. Someday, I'll put them in a collection and offer them to community theater groups. I've also written scads of very short stories, and if I win the lottery, I'll publish them and pay people to read them. If you can pass a ten question quiz on the story content, I'll give you a hundred dollars. Like most writers, I've written three novels, which I can't seem to find...I know they're here someplace...oh, never mind.

A textbook I've just completed, Acting for Camera, contains a hundred short scenes to use in teaching the craft of doing just what the title implies. I'll publish that as a kindle book.

I'm best known as public radio's Dr. Science, a short, comic feature that played on public radio for almost twenty years, starting in 1983.

This review is from: Get Smart! (Audio Cassette)
This guy definitely deserves a much wider audience - an underappreciated classic! You won't be sorry you got it - if you are, feel free to send it back to Amazon for a full refund, right guys? (Or better yet, send it to me! nyuk nyuk!) (Oh, and P.S. - this isn't anything to do with "Get Smart!" the TV series - it's "Dr. Science".)
