I've only just started listening to the Skeptic Zone podcasts.

Fantastic stuff - I'll be downloading each week from now on.

BTW - can I buy THEM in bookstores here in Oz, or should I get it through Amazon?

Tim Minchin! We has him! Not only is there our great interview with Stefan, the co-host of our show, there is also a four-part YouTube film of the interview, which you can check out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUOT_h_JSoA. We've been getting some great feedback on our RSS feed comment section and hope that there's a few more JREF listeners who will chip in here or at that site - head to www.skepticzone.tv. :)

Hello to Obviousman - thanks for checking out the show! Yes, you can buy Jon Ronson's 'Them: Adventures With Extremists' at stores like Borders (see if they'll get it in otherwise, should be available) or online and his other books are also around - I've found many of them at airport bookstores when traveling! I strongly recommend his essay collections ('What I Do' is a great one) and you should grab 'The Men Who Stare At Goats' before it hits the big-screen! :)

I checked with Angus & Robertson, but they said both had to be order specially from the US. I've gone Amazon instead.

Can't wait to read them.

Woo-hoo!

Love the podcast Richard. Really enjoyed the episode with Tim, and saw him live on Sunday night. Fantastic!

Did you ever receive that love letter I sent you?

Cheers,

Chris

I really enjoyed Tim's interview, but it was really great to listen to Rob Morison again.

I grew up with The Curiosity Show, and so much enjoyed hearing about its birth. I also enjoyed Rob talking about science reporting in the media - very good!
