Dr. Kiki on FNPL.

It took two years to make it happen, but last night Dr. Kirsten Sanford was on FNPL. Thanks to Rym & Scott for bringing their usual level of awesomeness to the show. I always have fun doing FNPL, but I'd have to say that last night was a confluence of awesome.

Here are the topics:
1. Using multiple internet identities. Is there a way to safely merge them
if you have a job where they care about what you do online?
2. What do you think about this article on The Great Filter Theory?

3. What is the most efficient way for a human being to absorb information: Video, audio or reading?
4. The Twitter revolution. Penny Arcade covered it so it must be over,
right? Are all the tweets just mayflies enjoying their one day or this an
enduring social phenomena?
5. What the hell happened to Ben Stein anyway?
6. How do you pass the time on airplanes?
7. Recently a guy in Pakistan used hypnosis instead of anethetic for surgery on his hand. Is this fake? Is hypnosis real?
8. Software Mnemonics. What do you think about Evernote, Jott and Remember the Milk?

    Are you serious? Awesome! Hopefully you guys talked about the Skeptologists...

    Whoa, that's really cool!

    I can't wait to hear theories about Ben Stein. I used to admire his economic stances; now you can't see past his delusional religious bull.

    Only briefly.

    The rate of downloads for this show is a record for us.

    After listening to the show, I must say that it's one of the best ones you have done. You should try to get Phil Plait to make an appearance.

    Greatest FNPL ever! I reall loved the comments around the NeoCons and the anti-intellectual 'movement'.

    Yeah, I missed my chance to complain about overuse of the term Neo-Conservative. Neo-Conservative refers to a very specific political ideology, usually relating to the teaching of Leo Strass and the Democratic Peace Theory. Despite this, the term in colloquial use has pretty much changed to mean "evil people who are on Bush's side." I'll continue to fight to get the original meaning of the term back, but I accept that it is a losing battle.

    That was a really good FNPL, probably the best yet.

    Your show deserves far more than 200 listeners. I hope that was hyperbole.

    Yes. It's more popular than that. I have had many ideas to help the show grow, but I've been too focused on real life to do anything about them. Now, however, I am going for it. Dr. K is the first of an awesome lineup of guests to come over the next few months.

    If this was not a great episode of Friday Night Party Line, I don't know what will make a great Friday Night Party Line episode. Awesome stuff Thaed, great lineup of guest hosts, I'm looking forward to your continuation on this path of awesome.

    I saw that, but I thought he said he had 200 followers, and that account only had 3. I think I just misheard, though.
