Transcript

Because this was an interview, there is no transcript. The topics covered were:

  • You started the 2012hoax.org site four years ago -- what was your motivation?
  • Had you ever focused on pseudoscience before, or was this a natural progression from something else?
  • How quickly did the site grow both in terms of contributors and web traffic?
  • What were some of the most-viewed pages?
  • What were some of the most contentious pages, and did you receive any threats?
  • Though I will do a separate episode on this later, there's plenty to go around -- ¿What are some of your favorite back-peddlers, now that the End of the World™ has come and gone with nary a whimper?
  • Of the 2012ers, who do you really want to hear an excuse from whom you haven't yet?
  • What's your latest endeavor?
