The skeptical movement is very well represented in the podcasting medium. I get much of my specific information on various pseudosciences distilled via podcasts. While the conspiracy skeptic, Karl Mamer, does a great job with other conspiracies which are generally less pervasive in the popular culture, he does not do a treatment of 9/11. Is there a topic-specific podcast on debunking 911CT's? If not, has anyone here considered producing such a podcast?
I understand that the Truther movement is likely past its heyday (which I would assess was 2006-2007), but this is the JFK conspiracy of my generation. I will likely come across Truthers on occasion in casual conversation for decades. I also don't think I'm exaggerating by estimating the number of various Truther claims being potentially in the thousands. It seems evident that there is plenty of material to cover even for a weekly podcast (which is typically the pinnacle of such ambitions). My personal opinion is that a podcast that deals with each category of claims in detail (such as Pentagon wreckage claims, Pentagon camera footage claims, etc.) would be very valuable and accessible resource to your everyday, casual debunker.
It would also allow me to avoid getting off my intellectually-lazy bum and actually having to read the various technical documents and white papers on the subject...
