Paul Giamatti’s CHINWAG with Stephen Asma

PHONE CALLS FROM THE DEAD!

Listen Later

📯📯📯

Your fan mail gets answered this week!

  • Arthur from Japan writes in and asks Paul and Stephen to discuss Thomas Edison’s spirit phone, a little known device to contact the dead. What happened with Edison’s quest to prove life after death, and what’s TikTok got to do with it? 
  • Also learn about a ghostly human voice recording from the 1840s (predating known technology)!
  • Add to that a bonus visit with William Shatner musing about ghosts and paranormal activity.

    • Your takeaway? As usual, none of us really know sh*t.

    Paul Giamatti is an award-winning actor and producer. Stephen Asma is a professor and author specializing in the philosophy of science, religion, and art.

    Note: This episode was recorded prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
