James Randi is recovering from his heart attack of a few months ago, and was back on my show this afternoon to continue the fight against flummery, pseudoscience and other garbage claims.
After an appalling story about Sylvia Browne, Randi talked about a recent Time magazine story about facilitated communication, in which the emotions and wallets of the parents of severely autistic children are exploited.
I also asked his opinion — as a magician — of David Blaine’s recent stunt, and we discussed other stories where science and rational thought are under attack.
Listen to our conversation here.
