Hear Lynne Kelly

[Richard]

Hi all

Lynne Kelly who has just written "The Skeptic's Guide to the Paranormal" was just on late, late, late night radio here in Australia talking about her book and taking talkback calls.

(see: http://www.lynnekelly.com.au/skeptics_guide.html)

You can hear the interview, mp3 4mb

Kelly and Nostradamus

Another radio interview with Lynne Kelly:

Also look in there for images relating to what Lynne discusses. I've put in the offending Nostradamus back cover from New Idea to kick things off. New Idea is a trashy women's mag here in Australia, full of ads for 'psychics' etc.

Cheers Rich, much appreciated.

Was it Lynne who went on air to explain the Oz skeptics' refusal to test a psychic on some late night show? Is that radio prog archived anywhere?

Edited to add: Um, I think it was the Oz skeptics. Apologies if my memory serves me incorrectly.

 

[Richard]

mmm, You've got me there. I'm not sure I know anything about that. Could you give me a year?

Maybe you are thinking of last year when a tabloid TV show (ACA) did a ‘hatchet job’ on the Australian Skeptic when we didn’t test a remote healer. The fact the healer never made direct contact with us, and the only email we received from him via the TV show stated that anything he regarded as a success, was a success, (thus making a test impossible) was unimportant to the TV show who only wanted a quick story. We were painted as backing down for fear of losing our money. All lies.

 

[walthrup48]

Aye, that's the one. Still, I remember listening to a radio prog where one of you explained the situation. Do ya know if the prog's archived anywhere?

 

[Richard]

Yes.. I found it on my PC. It's in RealAudio format. I've put it (or them) in:
