Host:    George Noory
Guests:    Alex Tsakiris, Bill Sweet
Alex Tsakiris, interviewer of bestselling authors and world-class academics on his popular science podcast Skeptiko.com was the guest in the first half. He suggested that science is sorely lacking when it comes to understanding such profound issues as near-death experiences, and parapsychology that would lead us toward self-discovery. Many scientists, he pointed out, take a strictly materialist viewpoint that humans are nothing more than "biological robots" that behave mechanistically, and there is no room for God.

Such limiting stances cause mainstream science to ignore some of the powerful research related to such things as reincarnation, NDEs, and mind-body connections, and they refuse to put serious money and large-scale studies into them, he lamented. Even UCLA psychiatrist Jeffrey Schwartz who developed a groundbreaking technique called self-directed neural plasticity to help OCD patients rewire their brains did not receive a positive response in academia, Tsakiris noted.
