Decoding The Gurus

Upcoming Interviews

Added 2021-05-28 21:27:28 +0000 UTC

Since I'm posting updates, it might be a good time to mention about interviews.

We did have a bunch of interviews scheduled (or at least penciled in) for May but then due to various issues (people being unavailable, work deadlines, family illness, etc.) we were not able to record them. I'm hoping that we can reschedule most of them for June/July although we are going to have to go through the scheduling process again (which is always a little bit of an issue due to the national time differences).

In any case, here is a list of our planned guests, topic, and an update on the current status:

1. Jesse Singal: Psychology Gurus & the dynamics of the Culture War/Online controversies (on board and ready to interview, just need to find a suitable time)

2. Stuart Ritchie: Mainstream Science Gurus & Covid Skeptics (almost recorded but sadly missed and having issues rescheduling, we will keep trying!)

3. Daniel Harper: Far-Right Guru Dynamics & Discussion of differences in our approaches (need to reconfirm & schedule!)

4. Evan Thompson: Western Buddhism & Exoticism (on board but need to reschedule)

5. Sarah Mojarad: Combatting Online Disinformation & Social Media Polarisation (on board but need to schedule)

6. Amanda Montell: Cultish linguistics (have not reached out, just heard her on Conspirituality and found the discussion great, will try to organise...)

EDIT:

7. (I forgot) Tim Nguyen: Google Employee & Co-author of critical paper on Geometric Unity (Due to record this next week!)
