Jon Ronson Interview at TAM London

New day, new interview from TAM London! I’ve been a fan of Jon Ronson’s since I first heard him on This American Life several years ago, after which I immediately bought Them: Adventures with Extremists and watched every documentary of his I could find and tried to convince all my friends to do the same. It’s so unbelievably cool that I had the chance to hang out with him at TAM London and do a quick interview with my co-host Neil Denny of Little Atoms.

Our interview with Jon will appear on Little Atoms and The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe, but here it is on Skepchick in a slightly less censored format, complete with an aside about a man in the audience who randomly called Jon a cunt during the Q&A with Simon Singh.

Listen here, or on the Skepchick feed on iTunes.

Oh I thought he’d said that Jonathan Ross was a cunt.

That’s what I thought, too. I guess we’ll have to wait for the DVD to find out for sure.

They can’t leave it out, because that would tampering with data.

There are no trackbacks to display at this time.

Sorry I’m late, darlings, I just got home from the dentist! Hey, look at this: the UK Advertising Standards Authority has decided that an offensive transphobic commercial is, in fact, offensive! Good to see the President doubling down on his big reveal last week, although someone might want to inform him that we have not [...]

Speak Your Mind: Going Once, Going Twice…Soul’d!

Like an increasing number of people, I identify as an atheist/agnostic (depending on the day). As such, I don’t believe that human are imbued with an immortal soul. I’ll use the phrase “selling your soul” to mean selling out or turning on what you believe in, but I don’t take it literally. Last week I [...]

Los Moradores de la Vagina

Hoy les voy a hablar sobre la microbiota de la vagina, específicamente sobre qué es, para qué la quieres y qué puede pasar cuando arrasas con ella. No, no hay un esfuerzo concertado entre los escépticos de este blog de tener un monólogo de la vagina todos lo miércoles, pero simplemente no me pude resistir [...]

Att leva på luft och bedrägeri

För ovanlighetens skull vill jag inte berätta för er vad jag tror. Jag vill att ni ska förklara för mig vilka mekanismer som gör att man beter sig så här. Jag sitter här med halvöppen mun och skakar på huvudet, jag VILL förstå men jag kan bara inte. Av @pre_it på Twitter blev jag uppmärksammad [...]
