New Show on Scepticism

Estellea · 22nd November 2010, 07:56 AM

Dr. Steve Novella of Neurologica just announced the launch of a new show called The Edge and could use the help of science educators particularly. The producers are seeking funding for producing and airing the show on public television. I know there are a fair number of teachers here so please give them a hand in getting this project funded.

I "reported" this thread to see if it could be made sticky or some kind of annoucement. I heard about it on the Skeptoid podcast this week and it is apparently time sensitive.

Thanks,

CT

It won't catch on. I hope I'm wrong but it seems to me that with all the woo woo ghost shows on TV with all the fans looking at them they won't want their ghost or monster bubbles burst. Some people need a ghost to exist and the bigfoot cryptid etc crowd wants their monsters great and small.

I don't know, I am railing against the Discovery Channel for all their woo woo using the influencer thing they set up. Persistence will hopefully pay off for us.

BTW: I was on an "Influencer panel" last night, and I petitioned for The Edge and any reincarnation of Skeptologists to folks at Discovery. For what it's worth.
