TWS221: The 100% Proof Of Life Is Death
CQ: With the seemingly inevitable eBook revolution transforming where books ‘live’, what will become of the beautiful public space that once was the library? Will they disappear entirely, becoming a footnote like the fax machine? Transform into some other form of collective center? Or will they become museums?

TWS220: Return of The Thing That Never Was (Away)
CQ: How do we strike a balance between “open-minded” and “skeptic”, between “I know what I saw/experienced” and “I know only what I can prove”? How do we teach science without cynicism?

TWS216: Strange Encounters Ep 000 Part 1: Belanger and Schoonover: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
Well, it’s almost here: this special show I’ve been working on all month. 3 hours long. 5 interesting people to talk to, 5 hosts, call-ins, tweet-chat, Facebook chat.. INSANE! 
Tomorrow night, tune in to CHSR-FM 97.9 in Fredericton or the online stream at chsrfm.ca to hear the show! We’ll give out the call-in number during the show, but if you want to phone in your Strange Encounter call 206-203-2292 and leave a message, or email weirdshow[at]gmail.com with your story.
As a result of this being on Friday night, I’m not likely to have time for a regular TWS episode for Saturday morning. Some of the material from the Strange Encounters special might make it on the podcast, but tune in live for the real experience.
You see, this isn’t just about doing a great show. Sure, that’s what I’m intending to do, but this is also about raising money for my adopted home, the campus/community radio station CHSR-FM. I’ve been a volunteer here for over a dozen years, and now work here every day. I believe in the power of radio, and the great role in the community that we play as a hub of communication. If you’ve enjoyed my show, give a good portion of the credit to the station that allowed me to create it, and donate to our station’s Fundrive. Thank you.
See you on Friday night! 8pm AST/GMT-4, 7pm EST
TWS215: The Parallax of Time
Please donate to CHSR, the radio station which spawned The WEIRD Show!
