Journey into Twilight - Jonathon Maxwell, hoaxes & skeptics

Tune in with Saul Ravencraft and David Marsh for a conversation about skepticism with Jonathan Maxwell.  Jonathan found how a lack of skepticism can cause a great deal of confusion and embarrassment when he researched his book “Piltdown Man and Other Hoaxes”.  Saul recalls science text books which still listed the Piltdown man as a link in the evolutionary chain, even though it was a hoax.

We’ll discuss the nature of these kinds of deceptions.  Are they always intentional?  What is “healthy skepticism”?  How do we pursue interests in the paranormal without becoming cynical about it?
