On Rebecca Watson, Sylvia Browne & more: My appearance on Skeptically Yours

I am grateful to Emery Emery and Heather Henderson for having me on their very funny and delightful skeptic podcast/live YouTube series Skeptically Yours yesterday. This is my first public appearance since I wrote a critique last month about a talk given by Rebecca Watson.

Also joined by comedian-actor Jimmy Palombi, we discussed a variety of things including the inherent paradox of new year’s resolutions, the depthlessly slimy actions of predatory “psychics” and of course, about what I termed Rebecca Watson’s science denialism. Here is the video. There will be an audio version available soon.

          Now you’re really asking for it. I’ve been patient. Now I will pull out the bloggers most powerful recourse: saying bad things about you on the internet. Damion Reinhardt is a big stupid jerkface. There. I didn’t want to do that, but really you left me no choice.

            Oh, now we see the targeted harassment inherent in the system.

    I love your criticism of the defences of her talk such that it would mean that she doesn;t know how to talk to the audience (with clarity).
