Conversation Hour: James Randi and Dr. Iain McGilchrist
Stella Young is a disability activist, comedian and editor of the ABC’s Ramp Up. Today she joined Jon Faine as his Conversation Hour co-host, for a journey into the depths of the human brain.
James Randi is a retired professional magician, now a famous skeptic and paranormal mythbuster. As he told Jon and Stella today, he’s also famous for a bizarre encounter on The Don Lane Show that’s become a classic moment in Australian television. And Dr Iain McGilchrist joined them, psychiatrist and writer. Best known for his writings about the two sides of the brain. He argues that the left and right brain have shaped our culture - and that the dominance of the left side is a bad thing for us and the planet. Dr Iain McGilchrist works privately in London, and lives on the Isle of Skye.

Mondo Diablo Episode 273: Anti-Vacc is BULLSH*T!
You have to wonder, "What the hell are they thinking," but you can’t put words in their mouths and mothers are sacred. Can you convince them that no one has died from prank tainted Halloween candy? Of course not. Because they are parents. And having children turns you into an insane person who is listened to by other insane people, the politicians, who govern our lives based on whatever batshit crazy thing parents are afraid of. Parental fear ruins everything. Stop having babies.

Mondo Diablo Episode 275 The Edge of Ol’ Man Mose
Happy Mocktober, Everyone. This week, I have the episode "The Edge of Evil," from "Macabre," and a lovely array of recordings of one of my favorite spooky songs, "Ol’ Man Mose is Dead." Interpretation of the words in that song is up to The Ear that hears it.

Mondo Diablo Episode 273: The Earth; She is Unmoved
I don’t fully know what http://www.fixedearth.com/ is, and I’m not sure I want to spend all of my time figuring it out. In a nutshell, physics is wrong, Copernicus was wrong, Einstein was wrong, they were all Jews and Kaballists, and the Earth is the center of the universe.
And the guy recording these podcasts has a little imaginary friend or puppet helping him do it. Your guess is as good as mine.
