Does anyone here have an Erdos number? If so, what is it?

No Erdos number, sorry.  I will say however that I listen regularly to a radio program, Radiolab, that can be found by podcasts for free on iTunes.  They had an episode on Numbers (that's the title) in which they talked about Erdos numbers.  You (plural) should check it out if you get a chance.

I'm pretty sure I've heard a few radiolab podcasts before, but I don't pay any attention to them anymore. After a while of listening I  have concluded that for myself at least Science AAAS podcasts are best, followed by SciAm podcasts. I don't think it would be a waste of time still.

Thank you too, I was not trying to belittle your suggestion. Some podcasts, like the AAAS ones, run about 40 mins. long whereas most SciAm ones are usually about 2 mins. long!
