About the Program | Point of Inquiry
Here's the blurb
Quote:
Point of Inquiry is the premiere podcast of the Center for Inquiry, drawing on CFI's relationship with the leading minds of the day including Nobel Prize-winning scientists, public intellectuals, social critics and thinkers, and renowned entertainers. Each episode combines incisive interviews, features and commentary focusing on CFI’s issues: religion, human values and the borderlands of science. Point of Inquiry explores CFI’s three research areas:
1. Pseudoscience and the paranormal (Bigfoot, UFOs, psychics, communication with the dead, cryptozoology, etc.)
2. Alternative medicine (faith healing, homeopathy, “healing touch,” the efficacy of prayer, etc.)
3. Religion and secularism (church-state separation, the effects and proper role of religion in society, the future of secularism and nonbelief, etc.)

It should probably be Point of Enquiry but Americans patently can't spell, even the clever ones who make shows like this.
This is a weekly show with great guests including the likes of Dickie Dawkins, Michael Shermer, Stephen Pinker, James Randi, Christopher Hitchens, various lesser known rationalists and even occasionally nutters like Chris Hedges.
Mostly it's whoever has a book out that week, but I'm sure some of you, like me, will be interested in the exclusive interviews with people like Dawkins, Pinker and Shermer.
You can listen via the website, new episodes come out on Fridays, or use iTunes to access the entire back catalogue and/or download new ones automatically.
If you believe in gibberish, I wouldn't bother though.
