Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI Institute and co-host of Big Picture Science, joins Spiral Out to discuss the scientific search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

So much gratitude and respect for Tool still making new music. After Fear Inoculum, I truly thought that was it. The hope is they'll tour again soon, especially in South America where fans are so eager.
