Topic: 2008 Year End Wrap Up Show!

Best episode April 2nd number 141, how can anything beat tantric killer as a segment.

I've been listening to the podcast from the beginning, and I'm quite amazed at how the show has grown.  I've certainly missed a few episodes as my internet access has been sporadic, but the caliber of guests and the quality of production has certainly increased dramatically.

Having said that, I would like to second prole's nomination for episode #141.  The Tantric Killing segment was wonderfully satisfying for skeptics across the globe, I hope we get a shot at utterly humiliating one of these Western charlatans just as Sanal was able to do with the Tantric.

Unfortunately, you're only going to humiliate the true believers with this method. The knowingly fraudulent types wouldn't dare demonstrate their powers under scrutiny because they know it's a trick.

I'm not trying to belittle this achievement mind. This guy may have been a deluded believer, but he was still clearly an arsehole since he was willing to kill someone to prove a point.

Hey, I'm going a little slow with the episodes, sorry.  I've got some stuff from episode 128 and... that's it.  . Sorry

So I did a "Jay's Skeptical Quote Mashup" thing for the wrap-up show.
Lemme know if it's funny at all... y'know, hearing them all together like that.

Heh heh. That's really good.

Most tragic example of belief over reason would be a good segment.  My vote definitely goes to the exorcisms in Africa where children are dying for this b.s..  Argh! man that one bugged me!  I think it was episode 172 or 3.
