Skepticality #061 - Skeptics invade a Sci-Fi Con - Interview: Jeff Wagg of the JREF and George Hrab
It seems for any particular social or interest group, there is a conventionâincluding skepticism. The danger is that niche meetings may speak best to those who have already heard the message. For over a decade, Dragon*Con has been integrating factual science and space programming withÂscience fiction material from popularÂliterature, film, television and gaming, such asÂStar WarsÂand StarTrek. ThisÂyear, Derek and Swoopy workedÂalongside the directors ofÂDragon*Con's Space and Science programs Âto bring a contingent of notableÂskeptics to the world's largest culture convention. On this episode, Jeff Wagg, general manager of the James Randi EducationalÂFoundation and musician, author and skeptic George Hrab share their Dragon*Con experiences, and discuss how skeptics can promote theirÂviews at conventions to help the skeptical movement find aÂbroader audience.
