Episode Summary:

First, Ben and Celestia discuss pediatricians standing up to the CDC, a cloud-surfing Jesus in the Philippines, and needle-spiking mayhem in France. Then we have longtime friend of the podcast Susan Gerbic join us to talk about so many topics she’s close to: empathy and how skeptics can approach education with respect; the big-name psychics that she’s been a perpetual thorn to; the cycle some women get pulled into to act as no-name psychics with small followings; the UFO community’s hate crush on her; Guerilla Skeptics of Wikipedia; skepticamps across America; and how to raise up the next generation of skeptical activists.
