In this episode I interview a practicing psychic. I ask her to answer questions about paranormal phenomena and what the basis of her belief is. I am joined by good friend Ben (pictured at Mt Hutt in NZ with me), who I discuss this with – in terms of Thomas Gilovich’s book How We Know What Isn’t So – The Fallibility of Human Reason in Everyday Life.
