[audio:http://content.blubrry.com/skeptiko/skeptiko-2007-11-26-76963.mp3]Skeptiko Host Alex Tsakiris looks back at over thirty episodes of Skeptiko and examines what he’s learned from his interviews with skeptics: Michael Shermer, Steven Novella, James Alcock and James Randi. Tsakiris explains how his opinion of the skeptical community has evolved: “…I started this journey expecting genuine debate, a battle of ideas, a war over the evidence, but that’s not what I found. I found a lot of frustrated researchers who were facing a well-organized, aggressive skeptical community that’s managed to change the rules of the game when if come to how certain kinds of controversial science research is done.”
