Well-known Victorian Skeptic Dr Steve Roberts has been invited to comment on radio recently – on two separate occasions in fact.

The second sound file is longer. It has to do with a psychic named Lisa bringing her “speaking-to-dead-people” routine to Melbourne. Steve can be heard from the 19-minute point onwards.

The interviewers in the first item described themselves as “dumb” and they were right. Dumb but, unfortunately, not mute. Empty vessels make the most noise.
How can the world end next year? I’ve got stuff in my freezer that expires in mid-2013.
