The best podcast out there
I really love this show. I feel it provides fascinating insight into how seemingly rational people fool themselves into believing fantastical things. My favorite part of most interviews is when the claimants answer the question: "What would it take for you to give up your belief?" However, I am writing this review now because I am uncomfortable with the most recent episode, Psychic Claimant. While the man being interviewed is anonymous, I feel that from the way he speaks he clearly has a distance from reality and intensity of delusional thought that separates him from the other claimants this show has interviewed in the past. I feel uncomfortable listening to him and hearing him questioned, as his manner of speaking of his "observed" phenomenon really reminds me of other seriously delusional people I've met. I feel there is a line between a person with an irrational belief and a person whose grip on reality is shaken, and it feels voyeuristic to listen to this man when he is so clearly unable to properly perceive the world around him. Like I said, this is still my absolute favorite show, and I am very glad this episode was at least posted in anonymity. I hope that future interviews refrain from targeting people who are untethered as Psychic Claimant appears to be. I hope he finds someone to speak to about his experiences besides a skeptic organization, that can hopefully help him reorient his view on the world. Thank you for your amazing podcast!!Read full review »

Marsh and Hayley do a great job talking to guests with different beliefs and they are completely respectful. It really feels like they want to understand where the person is coming from. Great podcast to listen to.
