Point of Inquiry

I was thrilled when I saw this show available as a podcast. Point of Inquiry is a scientific show - focusing on the "alternative" thoughts out there and discusses whether or not these other approaches have any merits.

As an added bonus, they have extensive videos with big names in science and journalism, e.g. Richard Dawkins, Paul Kurtz, Joe Nickell and Marci Hamilton.

This is a high quality show on a very worthy subject. I recommend it to anybody who is interested in science.

Point of Inquiry is the Center for Inquiry’s radio show and podcast, drawing on CFI’s relationship with the leading minds of the day including Nobel Prize-winning scientists, public intellectuals, social critics and thinkers, and renowned entertainers. Each episode combines incisive interviews, features and commentary focusing on CFI’s issues: religion, human values and the borderlands of science. Point of Inquiry explores CFI’s three research areas:
1. Pseudoscience and the paranormal (bigfoot, UFOs, psychics, communication with the dead, cryptozoology, etc.)
2. Alternative medicine (faith healing, homeopathy, belief in “healing touch,” the efficacy of prayer, etc.)
3. Religion and secularism (church-state separation, the effects and proper role of religion in society, the future of secularism and nonbelief, etc.)
