Taking Science Seriously - Scientific versus alternative medicine
Podcast 001. This is our first podcast. It is mainly my rant against homeopathy, but it has bits about witchcraft and the anti-vaccination movement also.

Footnote: The Wikipedia entry for "Witch-hunt" used to list Mary and Elizabeth Hick[e]s as the last to be executed, at Huntingdon in 1716. But the evidence for this comes only from a pamphlet of doubtful reliability and is not backed up by court records. Apparently there is some evidence that an Alice Molland was hanged at Exeter in 1684 for witchcraft.

My support for science vs medicine, as important as it is and as much time, sweat, and treasure I spend supporting it, is not the be-all and end-all of my scepticism, which derives from a scientific world view.
