'Skeptic's Guide to the Universe'
Do you believe everything in your inbox? Today’s technology makes sharing information as quick as the click of a mouse, but too often it’s false information. How do you sort out fact from fiction? We talk with Dr. Steven Novella, a neurologist at Yale University and host of a weekly podcast called The Skeptic’s Guide to the Universe, in which he examines hoaxes, fallacies and pseudoscience. Novella is president of the New England Skeptical Society, Associate Editor of the Scientific Review of Alternative Medicine, and a contributing editor of Quackwatch, a consumer advocacy website dealing with all types of health fraud.

I don't even understand what "alternative" medicine is an alternative TO. Alternative to science, our description of reality? So an alternative to reality then? Sounds like it won't work by description. This should constitute fraud.

THANK YOU Keith Gente! I don't know why JPR allowed the previous host DJ to go on sooo long. Keith's guests are representive of both sides (a naturopath and skeptic in the same week!) of the issues without favoring the extremes. His questions are fair and unbiased. I now look forward to see what exciting, controversial guest will be next. Keep up the good work Keith!

The Guest Sceptic raises the issue of 911 "Official Story" Doubters - - so would anyone be allowed to question him on that???

After flying toward it for more than an hour... RIGHT!!!!!!) but Jessica wouldn't let me on - - "we've moved beyond that topic..."
