🕑 Added 2021-02-15 06:57:33 +0000 UTCHey guys,
Just a quick note to let you know about some upcoming interviews we have planned and will be recording pretty soon:
1. Matthew Remski from Conspirituality Podcast: Discussing his work on gurus active in the spirituality sphere and the growing overlap with right wing political conspiracies.
2. Phrost from Bullshido Podcast/Message Board: Discussing gurus, cults, and conspiracies in the martial arts sphere.
3. Stuart Ritchie, author of Science Fictions: Discussing frauds and gurus within mainstream science, and the nuance required to criticise science without propping up the views of fringe pseudoscientists.
If you guys have any questions for any of the above, please post them below!

Got it! This is a topic I have opinions on too (Chris) as I followed the Hari saga at the time.

I would like to hear what Stuart Richie has to say about Johann Hari, the author of "Lost Connections". I remember Stuart saying something on Twitter years ago writing him off as a bit of a cook.
Chris Spanos
I would be interested in hearing Phost's views on Joe Rogan, given that Rogan has been a big part of UFC etc.
Christopher Kavanagh
Definitely will cover this. Interview is scheduled for next Tuesday!

The Matthew Remski interview was what led me here (I follow the conspirituality podcast), so that worked :wink: Re the martial arts chap, if you haven't already talked to him - I'd be interested on his views on the current promotion of anti-vaxx and anti-BLM views by BJJ folks (including members of the Gracie clan). MMA in general seems to have become a network that the QAnon virus is spreading through. It would be interesting if Phrost had any views on what it is about MMA and the fight game generally that provides fertile ground for Qanoia.
