In this episode Phil is joined by guitarist Jonny Scaramanga in an attempt to give our listeners some examples and explanations for when we talk about guitar techinques (eg Sweep Picking, Pinches, tremolo picking). We discuss some famous uses of the techinques so hopefully there is still something there for our guitar playing listeners. Please get in touch with us to give your favourite examples of a lot of these techniques.

Religious cultures are often distrustful of science and scientists. They're also often bound to debunked mythologies and bad information. We explore mis-education and the celebration of ignorance in the name of God.Support Our Sponsor:http://www.thegreatcoursesplus.com/sethLinks to Jonny Scaramanga's articles on ACE:http://www.patheos.com/blogs/leavingfundamentalism/2014/09/01/revelations-from-a-former-ace-insiderhttp://www.patheos.com/blogs/leavingfundamentalism/2016/09/13/out-among-the-stars-defeating-the-legacy-of-religious-indoctrinationhttp://www.patheos.com/blogs/leavingfundamentalism/2014/08/18/a-readymade-toolkit-for-institutionalised-oppression

0:00:00 Introduction Richard Saunders 0:04:10 A Grain of Salt with Eran Segev This week Eran talks with Jonny Scaramanga who grew up in the UK as a Christian fundamentalist. Most people think this kind of fundamentalism does not exist in Britain, or it is limited to certain ethnic communities, like black pentecostals. They have no idea what fundamentalists believe, and certainly no clue what it’s like to be one. 0:16:10 A Week in Science The Royal Institution of Australia (RiAus) is a national scientific not-for-profit organisation with a mission to bring science to people and people to science. 0:19:35 Signe Cane and Vaccination Conspiracy Theories Why you should ignore what anti-vaxxers have to say. Signe is a Sydney-based freelance science writer and radio broadcaster, her articles have appeared in Australian Geographic, The Scientist, Australasian Science, New Philosopher and other outlets. 0:26:15 Evidence, Please with Jo Alabaster. Young mothers look out! Jo with the inside information on woo with you're expecting. 0:36:55 Roving reporter Dr Krissy Wilson Krissy chats about a new book, 'The Survival Hypothesis by Adam J. Rock' and her chapter.
Jonny Scaramanga attended a fundamentalist Christian school in the '90s where he learned that the Loch Ness Monster disproved evolution, God disapproved of the NHS, and homosexuals were an abomination to God. He talks about what students learn in these schools today, and what we should do when the parent's right to freedom of religion conflicts with the child's right to a sound education.
