Hi All - My name is Ian, and I am a marketing consultant, primarily online - I live just outside of Philadelphia, and have had always had a passion for the mystery of inquiry...especially into areas that are relatively unexplored.
I think I was the only guy in my college dorm house reading Ian Stevenson 15 years ago....and for reason I still can't quite discern, I had an insatiable appetite for just about every thing I could get my hands on across the "paranormal" spectrum. Over the years my ability to devote real time to keeping up has been up and down...but I've stayed interested - stayed somewhat agnostic to most of the research and many of the claims..but hopeful that I'd have an opportunity to look closer when some good stuff popped up.
Serendipitously - Alex and I crossed paths online, and when he explained some of the things he was doing with Skeptico and here, I think he was a bit surprised that I had more than a passing familiarity with a lot of the very same stuff ( although lots is WAY out of my intellectual depth..:-) and after a few quick emails back and forth, I'm jumping in and lending what I hope
is some marketing muscle to the machine!
Have enjoyed all lots of the podcasts already - it's great material - and regardless of what side of the fence you fall - these are great ideas to play with and explore - and I'm glad to pay a small role in helping to get the word out!
Thanks - and look forward to reading your posts!
