You're listening to the Michael Sherman Show Hey everybody it's Michael Schirmer. It's time for another episode of the

Michael Schirmer's show this brought to you by as always Skeptic magazine

in the Skeptic Society. We are a 501c3 nonprofit

education organization which you can support by going to skeptic.com slash

donate. You want to support the magazine, the society, our media efforts, the

podcast and so forth that's the place to do it. You can get your latest issue

of Skeptic which I will remind you all is in print available at bookstores

everywhere. Our latest issue on energy matters. The next one comes out next

month on education matters. That's our next one. So lots of different themes

coming up. We have health matters after that and we've covered trans matters,

abortion matters, race matters, nationalism matters, and energy matters. So there you go.

All right, let's get on with our show today. My guess is Lee McIntyre, the returning

champion. He's been on the show before. He's a research fellow at the Center for Philosophy and History

of Science at Boston University. Former Executive Director of the Institute for

Quantitative Social Science at Harvard University.

He's taught philosophy at Colgate University, Boston University,

Tufts Experimental College,

and Harvard Extension School.

He's the author of Dark Ages, post-truth, the scientific

attitude, and how to talk to a science denier, which we discussed in our previous

podcast episode.

His new book is here.
