I just recorded an enjoyable podcast with Michael Shermer about mysteries etc. It should be out in a week or so. I liked it because it was long–a full hour and half. No soundbites. He was an excellent interlocutor.
During the podcast, you recommended a book. I did not catch the title and you then only repeated the authors first name. The author was Max B. Could you please let me know the title and author of the book?
I wish you would do more of these.Your books and talks are very enlightening, and all point : no waffle. I admire your work, and I’m in awe of your capacity for lucid, and often poetic, exposition.
In fact I just recorded another podcast with Michael Shermer on Friday, which should appear in a couple of weeks. I’m happy to do this kind of thing but for some reason I don’t get the invitations I used to.

Max Beerbohm, “Zuleika Dobson”.
Can you provide a link to the podcast? I don’t know what podcast Shermer hosts and I’m awful at googling.
If you go to Skeptic Magazine you will find it.
