Irrationality

I enjoyed hearing my name on the Guardian's Science Weekly podcast from December 15, 2008:



Trouble is, the file I spliced for my students was 3:14.1 just long enough for me to share this detail with the folks in the pod.  Then I discovered that the first 30 seconds of my splice were unnecessary.

The file I actually have saved on my hard drive at school is closer to 2:45.  That's boring!

I didn't have the heart to come clean.  So I got this attention because of a mistake.

Sorry, Producer Andy!  Alok may not have understood your witty retort, but at least it was honest.

Added: For the curious, here's an explanation of the Hodge Conjecture!
