Good interview; thanks Richard and Becca

Never heard of her. I bet she can't beat me at Scrabulous.

I like Rebecca, but I gotta say, I found this particular interview to be a bit bland. Perhaps it might, in part, be because I already knew most of that stuff about her. But, also: Two skeptics just chatting about how they became skeptical doesn't seem like worthy use of video time, to me. I would have liked to hear more questions and answers about issues facing the community that she might have insight into.

But, it's not Rebecca's fault.
I usually learn a lot more from the Skeptic's Guide podcasts, and stuff like that. And, I am confident her radio show will time worthy.

I guess those nice Australian folks just didn't have anything interesting to ask, that day.

Then I look forward to your pod/vodcast show.

[Wowbagger]

Then I look forward to your pod/vodcast show.I meant no offense, of course.

But, I'll let you know when I produce one! (And, yes, it is something I am vaguely considering.)

Here's a report I produced a few years back with Stefan about a New Age Festival in Sydney.

I appear in that video without permission. The scene with Randi and Rebecca sitting at a table was taken at lunch at The Peppermill. If you look to Rebecca's left, you will see my muscular right arm and shoulder.

I'll sue you bastards! I know a cheap lawyer.

It's worth noting that ear candling (joked about in the recent vidcast) is a common source of injury, and is therefore not quite so benign as most quack remedies. Wax dripping from the candle can get funneled into the ear cannal causing severe burns.

Indeed you are right. Sadly you can find these in pharmacies here in Australia. I did not wish to make light of that as such.

[Vim Razz]

I hear you. Then again, not taking the time to laugh a bit runs a body down.

Thanks for putting out such great shows, btw. It's a real pleasure to be able to see.

And the pigasus = win.

Here is Stefan and I at the launch of youtube Australia. (They gave us both a free video cam!)
