80. The Skeptic Ghosthropologist

Communities of paranormal enthusiasts have long been in dialogue with communities of skeptics, therefore understanding the skeptic’s movement is relevant to understanding how paranormal beliefs develop and function. In this episode, Matt discusses the history of the skeptics community, as well as his own experiences as a former member in order to illustrate both the good and the bad of turning skepticism into an identity.
