People moan when science isn't in the news, and then when it is it's derided (see: Hawking). Journalists can't win! #unpopularopinion

Just been interviewed by @emersugrue about the @PodDelusion for an Irish student newspaper. Mentioned Dawkins maybe too often for Ireland.

If Coulson was a superhero, the government would have a secret lab trying to weaponise his power to listen in on Bin Laden.

I can't really imagine why Myers might find Hague attractive? Surely power doesn't compensate for the fact that it's *William Hague*?

    The Pod Delusion
    September 18th, 2009 at 15:06

    I’m terribly excited as the pilot episode of my new podcast has just gone live. The Pod Delusion is a bit like From Our Own Correspondent, but with a sceptical/liberal/lefty/Guardianista slant. Have a listen:

    The best bit is that I’ve managed to involve both my friends and work: Simon, Duncan, Niki, Crispian, Will, Carmen, Charlotte, Arthur, Jim, Steffan, Tom and Pete are all involved – and I’m hosting it on (where else?) ipadio.

    Hopefully as there’s loads of us working together this will take off rather than sink without a trace, like, er, Two Minute Hate.

      Listening to The Pod Delusion in two visits. Listened to half just now and especially enjoyed Duncan’s product placement piece.

      Possible answer why ads like Glade and Sheba crop up in unlikely places such as conspiracy channels…I believe some ads get booked on blocks of channels, so the ads you see may have been agreed across a selection of channels, including a conspiracy channel.

      Boring, I know, but I’m sure I’ve heard about this kind of agreement in the past. Does that explanation spoil everything, or could it be the start of a whole new conspiracy?

      As you say, it may just be inspired thinking on Sheba’s part. Let’s hope.

      Interesting point Martin – I’ve heard of similar systems of ad-booking in the past (such as ads being shown and the channel getting no money unless it leads to direct sales of the product – presumably insurance ads and the like).

      What this means though is the conspiracy channel is in bed with THE SYSTEM even more than I thought: the ad-brokering company, the play-out company and so on are all going to be protecting corporate interests and the like.

      I came across this podcast via righteous indignation. I have just listened to the first one and my interest is on the article on Edge Media TV (Sky 200). I watch the channel quite a bit as well as the Unexplained (formerly Paranormal) Channel next door (Sky 201). The former channel features a fair amount of woo, but also features TED videos which are excellent (as we all know, with talks by Shermer, Rees, Dawkins, Stoll, Deutsch to name just a few). The unexplained channel is wall to wall woo (except for Arthur C Clarke\’s 1980\’s and 90\’s Mysterious world series, which are very watchable). I would like to have heard some critique of the series \’Spook School\’ which has been on both channels. I was watching one the other day and I appeared on it! This was a filming of a talk given by the Merseyside \’Ghostbusters\’ (paranormal investigations) which I attended and a very edited filming of it was shown. At the end of the seminar the paranormal investigators told the audience in \’no uncertain terms\’ that \
