This episode only has a ~12-minute main segment and then a short Q&A. You can stop at the 11 min 45 sec. point if that’s all you’re interested in. It’s the Feedback section that I spent around 8 minutes on, going into some detail on feedback from Episode 32 (Billy Meier UFO case), Episode 31 (Moon Hoax photos), and some general feedback for the show. The puzzler starts at about 22 minutes.
I’m not entirely sure what the next episode will be. I have a presentation to give at the local coin club Thursday, Skepticamp Denver all day Saturday (and still need to write that talk). And I have a lot of baking to do for that, too 
. So, next episode will either be a recording of my Skepticamp talk, or it will be about pyramids and Orion’s belt.
Hi Stuart,
If your listeners are interested in more information on the Flat Earth Conspiracy movement, there is a great book called “Flat Earth” by Christine Garwood published in the US by St. Martin’s Press.
It includes a history of the movement. It actually started in the mid 1800′s by a man called Parallax. Most of the arguments originate with him and have been the same ever since. It’s actually a very good primer for ALL conspiracy theories. There are a very few people who still think the Earth is flat, but the origins of at least the Canadian branch of the Flat Earth Society was started somewhat as a joke among friends.
I highly recommend it to anyone interested in Conspiracy theories in general and the Flat Earth Society in specific.
