Skeptiko host Alex Tsakiris joins us to talk about the science of consciousness and his new book ‘Why Science is Wrong… About Almost Everything’.

We discuss the entrenched materialism running rampant in modern scientific thought along with Alex’s interviews with those who serve to uphold the existing paradigm, and those who try to break free of its grasp.
