Podcast Transcripts And Research

Here’s the book for the podcast, featuring twenty chapters of interviews and essays – documenting my adventures world-wide from five years of podcasting! The Scope of Skepticism: Interviews, Essays and Observations from the Token Skeptic Podcast, in both e-book and paperback, now out at Lulu.com and on Amazon.com.

With over a hundred interviews conducted for the Token Skeptic podcast, one question remains open: what makes a skeptic a skeptic?

From Stephen Fry to Tim Minchin, Dr Pamela Gay to the Global Atheist Convention – The Scope of Skepticism is a collection of interviews and essays with some of the world’s most entertaining and intriguing people – providing food for thought on everything from paranormal claims, sex and relationships, education, art, science and faith.

Interviews include: Joey Haban, Caroline Watt, Tim Minchin, Stephen Fry, Daniel Loxton, Jennifer Ouellette, Desiree Schell, Sharon Hill, Julian Morrow, Scott Sigler, Indre Viskontas, Ben Radford, Lyz Liddell and more.

Reviews of this book has appeared in the Skeptical Inquirer and the UK and NZ Skeptic magazine.
