Episode Summary:

First, we have a few current events items that hit our skeptical radar — and a Bigfoot bombshell drops at SXSW film festival! (For more on that, see Ben’s just-released piece in Skeptical Inquirer online, “Documentary’s Devastating Bigfoot Debunking.” Then Leo Igwe joins us during his visit to the U.S., and he shares progress and challenges facing his organization, Advocacy 4 Alleged Witches. Leo is a stalwart skeptic and champion of rational thought, and his heroic work in Africa puts him in danger on many fronts. He lays out aspects of cultural and economic life in parts of Africa that make it difficult for victims to fight accusations of witchcraft. And he talks about how partnering with other organizations and simply continuing to fight for the right cause — even without a clear path to success — drives him day in, day out.
