Dr Karl Kruszelnicki's Great Australian Life

Laura Turner chats with Dr Karl Kruszelnicki. When NASA classified Karl as non-astronaut material in 1981 he walked straight into ABC Radio station Double J and offered to talk about the Space shuttle launch. They said ‘Okay’ and his radio career took off from there. Great Moments In Science’ ran on Double J while Karl moonlighted as a medical student. Since then, his media career has exploded from radio, to TV, books, newspapers, magazines, scripting, professional speaking, podcasts and the internet. He’s also the author of dozens of science books including most recent, Dr Karl's Little Book of Climate Change Science. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
