Randi challenge mentioned on Free Talk Live

Ian and Mark mentioned the challenge on their Jan. 12 show. You can download the archive here:

It's the last segment in the show,starting about 1:53:20. Mostly it's just reading the Wired article.

It's only available for a week, but if you miss it just go to http://wiki.freetalklive.com where they have links to older archives. Usually they get all the shows together at the end of a month and release them as a torrent.

I just happened to hear it. It was one of those cases where the show was winding down for the night, no more callers, and the only emails they had were long ones they didn't deal with, so Ian decided to talk about the Randi challenge a bit. They didn't have time to cover it in-depth, but Free Talk Live is set up where anyone can call up and talk about anything they want.

The show broadcasts live from 7pm-10pm Eastern Mon-Sat, so any time anyone wants to call to talk about the Randi challenge or any skeptical issues, feel free. They welcome calls like that, and I think they're getting really annoyed by the conspiracy theorists, even the ones they sympathize with (my opinion; I don't want to put words into their mouths).
