 Thomas Donnelly and D.J. Grothe recording the show.
Hello, I am Thomas Donnelly, and I produce this show. Here is some information on it:
Point of Inquiry is the premiere podcast of the Center for Inquiry, drawing on CFI's relationship with the leading minds of the day including Nobel Prize-winning scientists, public intellectuals, social critics and thinkers, and renowned magicians and other entertainers. Each episode combines incisive interviews, features and commentary focusing on CFI's issues: religion, human values and the borderlands of science. Point of Inquiry explores CFI's three research areas:
1. Pseudoscience and the paranormal (Bigfoot, UFOs, psychics, communication with the dead, cryptozoology, etc.)
2. Alternative medicine (faith healing, homeopathy, "healing touch," the efficacy of prayer, etc.)
3. Religion and secularism (church-state separation, the effects and proper role of religion in society, the future of secularism and nonbelief, etc.)
 Lauren Becker reads a commentary.
D.J. Grothe hosts Point of Inquiry. An associate editor of Free Inquiry magazine, he has lectured widely on topics at the intersection of education, secularism and science at universities such as Harvard, Yale, Stanford, UCLA, UC Berkeley, and dozens of others. Formerly a professional magician, he has special interests in the psychology of belief and processes of deception and self-deception. More information about Grothe can be found at http://www.djgrothe.com.
Thomas Donnelly produces Point of Inquiry. He also serves as director of web and digital media services for the Center for Inquiry. A 2004 graduate in media study from the State University of New York at Buffalo, he explores how the media treats topics such as religion and nonbelief, science, and skepticism and the paranormal.
Contributors to Point of Inquiry include Lauren Becker, Paul Kurtz, Benjamin Radford, Sarah Jordan, Debbie Goddard, Joe Nickell, Barry Karr, Tom Flynn, David Koepsell, and Austin Dacey.
 Some of the Point of Inquiry team: Lauren Becker, Tom Flynn, D.J. Grothe, Ben Radford, Thomas Donnelly, and Debbie Goddard.
