    YAY!!!

    Great to hear you again, Trystan, I love your take on things and am glad you have a female co-host who isn’t afflicted with “um….er….erm” disease while speaking, despite English NOT being her first language.

    I can see this pod growing, the international element will certainly help, I want to hear a different view, all we get these days are US and UK skeptics/cynics rehashing the same “same ol’, same ol’ ” !!

    Andy was a great interview, I can connect with much of what he is saying, believers just want to believe, and anything that is contrary to their belief is part of the conspiracy against it, so when someone holds their hand up and says “Hey, I made that crop circle..” they are never going to believe it, although as skeptics I guess we shouldn’t just take his word for it either lol

    I think some people have invested so much time in their belief, that they cannot face the possibility of the end of it, self-delusion and denial is their reaction to not wanting to accept the possibility that they have spent maybe a decade making fools of themselves and being ‘duped’.

    I agree that human circle makers are not hoaxers, if I toast some bread and someone else sees the face of Muhammad or Christ in it, they’re the one making the judgement, I’m just making a snack….

    Thanks David – great to have you here. I don’t miss RI one bit! I take it you’ve seen (and heard) that Hayley and Marsh also have a new show.

  • Michael

    I really like your show…….just wish it was a bit longer! An idea for a future show; would love to hear a show regarding the Oak Island ‘Money Pit’ in Nova Scotia. Again, great show(s) so far….keep up the good work! Looking forward to the next podcast.

      Thanks Michael. I will look into the money pit case. With regards to the show length the aim is somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes. I find some shows have a tendency to go on for too long. Good news for you is that the best stuff which doesn’t make it to the show proper will be bundled into a compilation every once in a while. Thanks for listening – it is genuinely appreciated. The last couple of recordings have been the best fun I have had behind a microphone in a very long time! All the best, Trystan.
