I wasn’t sure where the conversation was going to end up exactly, but we ended up talking about pseudoscience and research fakery. If you want to hear it, the show was Lost in the Stacks. You can go to that page and click on the play button under the show to hear the interview.
We talked a little about conspiracy theories and I SLAMMMMMMM the 9/11 Truthers. (Just kidding….or am I?)
The audio will be available for a week only. They play copyrighted music on the show, so they can’t make it available indefinitely.

Nice one! Particularly making it absolutely clear what a loathsome crook Andrew Wakefield is.
Thanks very much. Yes. He is a botch, an unscrupulous hideous failure of a human. The world is much worse off for his having existed, and yet the fraud and baby-killer walks free. Funk dat.
Yeah I read about how a Reporter checked out Wakefield’s published claims in his paper with the actual medical stuff about the 12 subjects and found out that Wakefield made stuff up to fit with his thesis, not just once or twice but repeatidly throughout his paper. Talk about loathsome!!
Oh and I enjoyed the show.
