Podcast Friday, 6pm Central time

Let’s do the google+ thingie again, shall we? It’s been suggested that we talk about quackery, and that sounds good to me — there are a couple of recent news items about the placebo effect and good ol’ Burzynski that are giving me heartburn.

I’ll send out a general invite on Google+ to previous participants; if you want to join in, leave (or email) your Google+ name to me and I’ll chuck you into my Pharyngula podcast circle.

    *happy dance*
    Good thing it’s gonna be on Friday so I won’t mind staying up late.

  2. Esteleth, Ultra-PC Feminist Harpy Out To Destroy Secularism:

    Hoorays!

    *pencils in podcast*

  3. Rawnaeris, FREEZE PEACHES:

    *sadface* you finally hold a podcast that is at a time I would normally be able to attend, and I’m going to be going out of town that morning. Participating in this podcast at my in-laws would not be a wise idea.
     
    Oh, well. Have fun all! I look forward to watching it.

  4. David Marjanović:

    …Argh. Too soon for me. :-( I haven’t had much sleep lately, especially last night, so I’ll avoid trying to stay up till after midnight tomorrow, and… I could buy a webcam, but I’m soon going to buy a new computer that probably has a built-in webcam…

    *sadface*

  5. digibud:

    I’d appreciate an invite. I expect to be back from a bike ride by then. Bud Kuenzli is my google plus name. It’s my real name, too :). Humorously I avoided signing up for G+ till now. Less than 5min after signing up I got a phone call from Google, “Hello, this is Google with a critical message for the business owner…”. That’s as far as I listened. I won’t reveal what came out of my mouth as the phone was hung up.

  6. michaeld:

    Oh Oh Oh! Do you need people to watch it and comment??? That sounds like my kind of job ^.^

  7. Beatrice:

    michaeld,

    Great. I’ll probably comment during. Otherwise, there would be little point in staying awake just to listen to the podcast in real time.

  8. Cannabinaceae:

    The Great Feathered One (GFO or “Jiffo” – see my avatar) approves of Quackery as the topic.

    Unfortunately, Friday is the day of Family Pizza Night, so I will not attend live. I will message you on G+ or email. Anybody else can, with a bit of G+fu, my ‘nym, and knowledge of my Love of Hops (the second or third bottle of beer highly seasoned with, I will be into by the time the ‘cast starts), easily determine Who I Am on that social notworking site.

  9. rorschach:

    Sorry, night shifts…

  10. fly44d:

    I’d like to try to join in. Tom Hail from Boulder Creek CA on G+. An excuse to get home from work early. :-)

  11. shaggyj:

    I would like an invite! I will stay up that late. I will. I really will.

  12. Giliell, professional cynic:

    Yay!
    Not that I could watch it live, with timezones and things, but I’m really looking forward to the record

  13. Nichelle:

    If you could open your internet to a poor rock hound such as myself I’d be very grateful. Nichelle Wrenn is how you may find me on G+.

  14. David Marjanović:

    I can offer to transcribe it, or part of it, over the weekend.

  15. ryangerber:

    I’d like to watch it live. I’m Ryan Gerber on G+.

  16. redclaire:

    Well, it will be midnight here, but I would like to watch it so will try and stay awake!
    Can you add me to the circle? My G+ is Claire Baker Donnelly.
    These are the only things it’s worth being on G+ for.

  17. shaggyj:

    Btw – my G+ name is shaggyj in case u didn’t catch that in my last post. Please send me an invite for the podcast….. Thanks!

  18. tanoro:

    Count me in, PZ! My G+ name is Christopher Gray. I have had representatives from the Burzynski Clinic on my show, blogged about my opinions of his treatment, exchanged e-mails with David Gorski who has also criticized Dr. B., and debated Burzynski’s followers. I have heard lots of their arguments and can provide all kinds of content on it.

  19. reynoldhall:

    Well, if you’ve not already gotten all the participants you wanted, I’ll ask if you would add me in as well.

    My google plus name is just “+Reynold”.
