Dead Radio Comes Back to Life — Blooper Reel from The Michael Shermer Show # 192

• Meet little Vincent who walks in on the show, then wife Jennifer and the dog Hitch
• Mysterious "dead" radio I wrote about in Scientific American came on again in the middle of the show

Read what I wrote about this spooky radio in Scientific American:

My wife's grandfather's 1977 radio was dead since the 90s. It came back on spontaneously on our wedding day in 2014. It's been dead ever since until it suddenly awoke during this podcast. Crazy!

It's amazing how such simple things humanize a person so much. Thank you for sharing these little moments.

I want to know more about that radio! Maybe do a little short video about it! :D

When will you publish youre conversation with Yaron?

[alaskansummertime]

You know that was your wife's father. You can hear him in the static if you listen real close.

"Does God exist?"
"Whatever, who cares?"

He's off checking stuff for their validity value...

Is that all. You certainly have a future as a scientist. Not even a link? How do you define a ghost? Or a god ? Superstition is real, like some who hear voices in their head. Extraordinary claims demands extraordinary evidence- simple as that. The burden of proof belongs to the person who claims/ what ever. The scientific method is so important and wonderful, because if you know it, you don’t have to waste time on more or less insane claims.
