In my travels I’ve found most Australians to be educated to a much higher standard when it comes to the sciences (social and physical). Is this just a reflection on the countries I’ve visited or is there a lot of positive things to be said about Australian education?

Hi!
Dr Raichie, you are obviously very logical and process oriented. Others see things and understand things differently, obviously. My question therefore is:
“With regards to discussions you have with others who are religious, or pseudoscience believers, or others of similar bent, how do you find your terminology is understood, and what do you do to try and ensure they understand your perspectives?”

That bit you added in to replace the Speaking Up interview was great. Any way we could get a transcript, though? There were big chunks where the music was too loud, and it walked all over the monologue. I’d like to get the full experience, if you know what I mean. Thanks!

Glad you liked it! But I see what you mean. I’ll see if Mike can fix the sound and upload it again. In the meantime, I’ve posted the transcript in the “notes” section; just scroll down past the audio player.
Thanks!

Loved the interview with Dr. Rachie, but wondered if you’d put up the link for the awful bigfoot video.

Hi Alex,
The link is above, in the first sentence of the show notes. Our notes are tricky, though; you have to click on each episode title to see the links and such from that show.
But here it is again, for your convenience: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aohxyqKKHEo
Thanks for listening!
