Talking 'Uranium'
Big props to author (and former Salt Lake Tribune reporter) Tom Zoellner, who appeared Thursday night on "The Daily Show" - and succeeded at making fascinating conversation out of a rock.
Zoellner touted his new book, Uranium: War, Energy and the Rock That Reshaped the World, a history of the element and its role in our nuclear lives. He and Stewart, who was clearly engaged in the topic, talked for several minutes about the history of uranium, and mankind's unfortunate ability to use any newfound material to, as Stewart put it, "blow s*** up."
Zoellner's appearance Thursday night made up for a previously booked appearance three weeks ago, when Zoellner was bumped so Stewart could have his notorious showdown with CNBC's Jim Cramer.
