This week I speak to the one and only Alex Tsakiris from the powerhouse podcast, Skeptiko. The show has been regularly namechecked at Rune Soup for years so it was a real personal pleasure to get some of Alex's time. Time that I may or may not have monopolised slightly thanks to about a hundred Skeptiko episodes of pent-up opinion I foolishly thought would fit in a single episode. This one really is more of a conversation then, and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. We talk through the limits of materialism (naturally), consciousness science, podcasting and having an authentic voice, money, the role of academia, UFOs and consciousness phenomena, the implications of after death communication and a whole lot more.
