Last night’s Westminster Skeptics talk by Frank Swain, the Science Punk, offering ‘A critique of skepticism’. It was interesting stuff – and you can hear it in full here (aside from 3 minutes removed for legal reasons). Also features Councillor John Dixon.

The “legal reason” is simple.
A highly offensive – vile – comment about Gillian McKeith is referred to. My recollection is that, in the context it was mentioned, it would be legally ok to broadcast. However, I would want to re-hear it to be certain.
But given the interest in Frank’s (brilliant) talk, James wants to get the podcast out as soon as possible. I will not have time to listen to it until this evening.
As the Pod Delusion is a responsible podcast, James and I agreed a compromise: an edited version can go out straight away; and when I have listened to the reference to Gillian McKeith again, it may be possible to put the unedited version online too.
I am sorry if this edit causes an inconvenience.
A link to the mp3 please?
