The Amazing Podcast

[Rustle]

Is there any chance that Randi's commentary might take the form of a podcast in the future?

The internet radio show archives are great, and seems like a podcast would be much the same, only 30 minutes instead of 90.

If this doesn't work with Randi's schedule, could we just record him covertly for 30 minutes every week, and post it?

Randi has stated that such a podcast is in the works. The original launch date was sometime in February, if I'm not mistaken, but the Amazing Bypass has forced a delay.

I am looking forward to this once it gets rolling.

This would be cool - you'd still need the written version, for links etc, but even if it was just Randi reading out the weekly commentary as a script it would still rock.

...And of course afterwards we can all discuss it ad nauseum on the boards!

Seriously though, there just isn't any replacement for hearing Randi. As important as it is for people to argue a rational case in a polite manner, sometimes what the world needs is someone with the courage (and lack of good social grace) to stand up and shout "That's codswallow: grow up!". Conviction can be as persuasive as veracity, and when you have both, along with ample humor, then you have Randi!

There we go, that should do for my hero tribute speech for this year.

Look for Skepticalty in iTunes Music store in the Ipods section. There are several interviews with James Randi there.

Just heard the Skepticality interviews - very good! But I'd love to hear Randi on his own regular podcast. I assume that news of it will be posted on the website when it happens?

Most definitely. No doubt it will be announced in here, too.
