The Cosmic Tusk has had the good fortune to join several podcasts in the last few years years to discuss the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis. I am a big podcast fan, and unlike TV, narrow subject fiends like myself stand a chance to get on the air.
The experience of speaking, instead of writing, has progressed from unnerving to much more relaxed, even enjoyable. And now that I have several…

Readers may recall a few months ago the Tusk and Australian university student Marc Young compiled a bibliography and archive file of all the YDIH publications since the seminal PNAS publication in 2007. I have taken the files and given them a permanent home here.
The publication history of the subject is a long and complex one, but the arc of of the subject clearly bends…
