On this Buckeye Talk edition, Doug Lesmerises is joined by two very special guests. One is an actor, one is a space scientist, and both of them are Ohio State grads. In two 35-minute interviews, the hope is to give you a look into two interesting lives of former Buckeyes. First up is Otis Winston, who is in the movie "Plane," which is currently out in theaters. He's been in several other movies and TV shows after an athletic career at Ohio State that included both basketball and high jump. Otis was one of the captains of the 1996-97 OSU basketball team. He talks about filming "Plane," making an acting career while living in central Ohio, and transitioning from sports to the big screen. Then it's a 35-minute interview with James Bullock, the dean of the School of Physical Sciences at the University of California-Irvine. James was involved with the James Webb Space Telescope, which is currently taking awesome photos of the universe. He talks about space exploration, how much should be invested in space research, whether he thinks there is other life out there, and more. James is also a Buckeye Talk listener, so he knows the deal. Thanks to both Otis and James for sharing these interesting insights into their lives. And thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk.
