I did not have advance knowledge of the broadcast when I heard George Noory introduce you. I think he was delighted to have you if only for a short time. His voice and enthusiasm really perked up. Remember, he spends his career dealing with crackpots. I’m a fan of C2C. It is great to fall asleep to. But I remember one night a caller asked him how he dealt with crackpots all the time. And I believe Mr. Noory answered honestly. He said he was giving a forum to ideas, one of which might pan out to be correct but that providing the forum did not mean his endorsement of these ideas.

Coast to Coast? That’s funny.

From C2C web site:

Appearing briefly at the start of the show, astronomer Phil Plait commented on the new Hubble photos. For more, see his blog entry.

Questions on “Crackpot/Woo-Woo” criteria:

1. It’s good for Phil to be on C2C even though it is total crackpot/woo-woo?

2. How are C2C listeners supposed to know Phil is not crackpot/woo-woo?

3. Are there any other guests like Phil (i.e. anti-crackpot/woo-woo)?

4. If so, how do we know who the anti-crackpot/woo-woos are?

5. Since C2C is “All Crackpot/Woo-Woo” except for Phil (and whomever else, I don’t know):

a. it is more likely more listeners will assume Phil IS crackpot/woo-woo than not;

b. then by crackpot/woo-woo association, they won’t buy Phil’s book?

6. Educate people to know “Crackpot/Woo-Woo” true Crackpot/Woo-Woo artists from the merely wannabe “Crackpot/Woo-Woo” imitators?

If the bogus “Crackpot/Woo-Woo” could be identified, then the general population could self-crackpot; and scientists could spend time on science, instead of debunking the “Crackpot/Woo-Woo” artists imitators.

I’m on first, when George reads the news, so you won’t have to listen to Linda Moulton Howe if you don’t want to. I’m on in an hour and a half.

I don’t think I can handle listening to C2C long enough without my head exploding. Perhaps if someone can record just your portion of the show, maybe some people’s brains can be spared.
