Audio Clip: [00:00:00] The question of what happens after we die has intrigued humans for as long as we’ve been around. As a physician, I know that most people don’t think about death really until they’re forced to. Her brain was not functioning and she had the most vivid experience.

Alex Tsakiris: [00:00:16] That’s a clip from the terrific new Netflix series surviving death. Today on Skeptiko, we talk to contributing producer and author of the original book, Leslie Kean. Welcome to Skeptiko, where we explore controversial science and spirituality, with leading researchers, thinkers, and their critics. I’m your host, Alex Tsakiris and today we welcome back actually journalist and author, Leslie Kean to Skeptiko. Leslie has an excellent, excellent new series out on Netflix, titled Surviving Death. When I watched it, it was trending at number six on Netflix, which is just a huge accomplishment, particularly for a documentary of this type you know, that’s really packed with a lot of frontier science, important information. This is just a huge accomplishment and you’ll notice as you watch it, that she also appears in the film, and I gotta say, Leslie, again, you do a fantastic job.

Leslie Kean: [00:01:32] Thanks Alex

Alex Tsakiris: [00:01:34] No, it’s really great. You have a great, great presence, and you add a lot to the production, which again, not to just kind of go on and on but the production quality of this thing is fantastic, It’s so watchable, It’s so cinema graphic and just a big congratulations on it. Before I leave this introduction though, let me just let you know, you know, if you don’t remember Leslie’s work, this is a very important journalist of our time. This is the person who broke the UFO Disclosure story in the New York Times, which, as we’ve discussed, I mean, there’s no way around it being one of the seminal events of I don’t know history, I mean the Empire of the planet announces that we’re being visited by aliens, at least that’s my read of it If you really are honest about what they wrote. She’s the person who one of the people has the byline in the New York Times, the newspaper of record, Leslie Kean is the one who wrote that. And of course, her credentials from the UFO standpoint stem from the book that she wrote in 2011. Very, very influential book, UFOs, Generals, Pilots and Government Officials go on the record, it was a New York Times bestseller. It was a big, big deal in the UFO community because it delivered what the title promises that she got these guys to go on the record a major, major important people. And then, you know, we talked to her after that in 2017, she wrote a book and it’s the book that this Netflix special is based on Surviving Death, a journalist investigates evidence for the afterlife. And then just as we mentioned, you know, really check this out on Netflix, you’ll really, really enjoy it. It’s a great six part documentary series packed with just a ton of great stuff. So Leslie, again, congratulations on this and thanks so much for comin...
