PC Panel 13 (Part 1) - Lawrence Krauss: Allegations & Responses

Join me, @Chrisiousity, @TheGodlessMama & Thomas Smith (@Seriouspod) for a discussion about the allegations against Krauss and the general responses in the atheist scene.

In this panel, I have an email from Sam Harris to read out as well.

Please bear in mind that the Panel was recorded on March 6, the intro a few days later, so some things discussed here may have changed or updated since.

Some links:

In the intro I mention the Very Bad Wizards episodes on the Penis Hoax, you can check those out here:

A description from their page says, " Does the recent "Sokal-like" hoax expose the ideological extremism of gender studies? Or does it show that certain portions of the "skeptic" community are susceptible to the same biases as their opponents?”
