I've been researching recent US political and election history, and I had some realizations that made me incredibly depressed about the future.

For many episodes our people have waited for the poda al Gaib, the pod from the outer world. Finally, the prophecy is fulfilled. Yet many questions remain unanswered. Can we successfully explain the plot of Dune, and thereby avoid the podcast jihad? How many side characters with weird makeup choices do we have to cover before we can actually get to the philosophy? What philosophy are we even going to talk about in this jumbled acid trip of a christ tale? Stay tuned for however many parts this takes, cause the studio wouldn't allow me to do my seven hour "no really, you'll see the truth of everything after this one" version. Cowards.
Since we didn't get to the philosophy on this one, here's a great series of youtube videos analyzing the story to help folks fill in the blanks further: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ga4PYMKwQ0

Serious Inquiries Only - SIO150: Ok ESP Isn’t Real… with Dr. Lindsey Osterman
Last week's episode featured what I thought was a rational and philosophically consistent approach that educated, but non-expert, skeptics took toward a peer-reviewed article in a top journal making claims of evidence for ESP related phenomena. In today's episode though, we get a chance to hear from an expert in the field of Experimental Psychology who took an in-depth look at some of the studies mentioned in the original review paper. Here's the link again if you'd like to go back and read it. Dr. Lindsey Osterman also teaches classes on appropriate research methods, so she is absolutely perfect to help teach us where this review paper went wrong! Leave Thomas a voicemail!

You're Wrong About - Kurt Cobain and “Copycat Suicide”
Special guest Candace Opper tells Mike and Sarah about how the death of a rock star changed the field of suicidology (which is a thing).
