The Pod Delusion are partners of the British Humanist Association. We're totally editorially independent and much less professional than they are, but we like what they do. And you might too, so do check them out.
The Pod Delusion is hosted by ipadio - who also provide those nice flash players and stuff too. Ipadio does lots of cool things involving phonecasting and audio - why not check them out? They can host your podcast for free too. (Predictable disclaimer: The Pod Delusion's esteemed host works for ipadio... but this podcast is totally separate and independent of the company, and is just something I faff about with in my spare time)
Not sure about the bleeping in the Dixon interview. No legal risk at all…
I felt I had to come down on the side of Wikileaks simply because the people accusing them of having ‘blood on their hands’ are the US military. When the documents in question show such incompetence leading to civilian deaths, trying to take the moral high ground sounds totally ridiculous.
Really like James’ article. I wonder if the days we will trust government or commercial media to honestly summarise data they won’t share are gone, though. One of the issues pre-Iraq is that the government of the UK and the USA were constantly implying that they had more concrete evidence that they couldn’t reveal. Turned out that they didn’t – they didn’t lie, but given the loaded summaries of the hidden data, the electorate needed the WHOLE data set to be informed. Similar situation with climategate – trust doesn’t just require honesty, it also requires openness.
