Dr. Steven Novella to be on the Dr. Oz Show Tuesday

On the show titled "Why Your Doctor is Afraid of Alternative Medicines"
What's great about the above clip is they then go into a segment where they ask "What's real and what's a lie?" as far as endorsements. What: they can't ask the same question in regards to "alternative medicine"? Ah: they assume that Oz has already done the required research he claims he has done.
Another fun quick- cut is Dr. Novella's eyes looking a bit shocked and angry, ostensibly at something Dr. Oz has said. So I bet it's going to be a fair treatment, don't you?

So it will be interesting to see how they are going to cut it: Oprah and her off-shoots have never been worried or honest in their cutting a show together to promote their woo-ish beliefs. Dr. Novella is going to have to be pithy in his replies so they cannot splice and quote-mine his side of the "conversation". I hope Dr. Novella can get a full copy of the pre-cut show, but I would imagine that is bad business practice for the O.W.N.

And hopefully, they'll put the thing online so those of us without a TV can watch it while sipping our Mountain Dews and gnawing on our Cheetos*.

Skeptic Wire Episode #2 is here!

Click here and get it!

It's better than that other "Episode 2" with the exceptions that THIS Episode 2 has 99.9% fewer light sabers and Jedi, and no score by John Williams. Plus, it doesn't cost you $8 and an afternoon of standing in line, in the heat, next to some six foot high 40 year old dressed as Yoda who is muttering "See it, I will...yeeesssss. Munchies will I have: movies lead to popcorn, popcorn needs soda, soda leads to baaaaaathrooom." While the 4 foot 8 Wookie next to him keeps gurgling loudly due to an unrepentant run-in with Taco Bell.

This week:
Charles Manson on Global Warming;
Kate Hudson is a WITCH!;
Non-Fiction books lie;
Psychic gets a hit;
Technology hurts our BRAAAINNSSS!;
Sex phone lines get 800 numbers;
Exorcism gone bad;
Atheists die first?;
Birthers;
Anti-religion (Sharia) Law in Texas;
Holistic Chamber of Commerce;
and, of course, dogs barking in the background

But why aren't we on iTunes yet?!

Apparently, I have to write an XML RSS feed file for iTunes, so that should happen next week.

Enjoy!
