Teller Talks

The current episode of The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe is a fun listen. Among other things they discuss the recent Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris books, as well as the vile creature known as Sylvia Browne.

But my favorite part is their interview with Teller, the normally taciturn half of Penn and Teller. His voice does not sound anything like what I expected. He talks a bit about their Showtime program Bullshit! and the fact that he's amazed that it has lasted this long. Apparently it is one of Showtime's highest rated programs. He also admits that they were wrong in their episode about second-hand smoke, and that they were simply pushing their own Libertarian agenda.
