You know when you think on what most 17 year olds get up to and spend their time on, traipsing around spiritualist churches performing to an audience of people by and large three times their age isn’t the first thing you think about.

It’s not even the tenth to be honest.

Which got me interested in why a 17 year old boy got so caught up in the medium game in the first place. Lets face it, it’s not exactly a clincher pastime in the dating stakes, nor is it likely to provide much in the way of street cred with the lads. Then there’s having to spend most of your time with people at least old enough to be your mother, granny, great granny …you get the picture. For one so young its hard to understand why they would want to spend their free time far less embark on a career that involves talking about and immersing yourself in everything that is well….dead.

Ross Bartlett is a 17 year old self proclaimed psychic, one of the youngest around. Also known as the Pimply Prognosticator, Ross recently gained some fame by appearing on "I believe in Ghosts" A show with former Eastenders actor Joe "Bring on the Wall" Swash.

Anyway after speaking with a woman by the name of Marion Bridger who after suggesting Derek Acorah should be shot and also calling him F**king Crazy, stated "I saw him (Ross Bartlett) a few weeks ago at Beyond the Sences at Cheam and he told a number of people in the audience some pretty amazing things!" So I thought I should investigate further.

The New York Times recently reported on the arrest of Jim McCormick, head of a British company that supplied a device called ADE 651s, which he claimed detects hidden bombs. At least 800 of the detectors were purchased by the Iraqi government, for up to $60,000 each.

The problem? They don’t work. The device has only one moving part, an antenna-like piece of metal that swivels freely, supposedly detecting explosive material. Examinations have shown no technology inside that could detect explosives. It’s a $60,000 dowsing rod.

(Dowsing rods, for those who don’t know, have been used for centuries by people who think they can detect water, gold, oil, or another substance. Unfortunately, dowsing has been scientifically tested and always failed.)

Righteous Indignation is the podcast that aims to critically examine extraordinary claims and the people who surround them. These include ideas related to conspiracy, the paranormal, the supernatural and attempts to redefine the boundaries of science and understanding.

Synopsis:
No guest this week, but Marsh found him­self on Irish radio dis­cussing 1023 and being lec­tured to by a home­opath. Enjoy!

On January 30th 2010 over 300 skeptics around the world took part in a mass homeopathy overdose. The point of this was to raise awareness and create debate on the subject of homeopathy.

The event was a huge success gaining much publicity.

The campaign also had skeptics in America, Australia and New Zealand taking part.

Well done to everyone involved.

Will also broadcast on cable TV in America, in certain cities, listings to come.

Discussing the Skeptical movement in Italy, the ideomotor reaction and the paranormal claims that both Cicap and Italy receive.

Fascinating discussion running about 10 minutes!
