On this week's Skepticality, Derek and Swoopy have just returned from
Charlotte PopFest, a unique music festival with proceeds benefitting
the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science. Unexpected
local media backlash against the PopFest benefitting a group of
"evolutionists" is further evidence why events like this one, the
first of it's kind, are so important.
These sentiments are echoed in this week's short interviews with
PopFest musician Jill Sobule, members of the Charlotte Atheists and
Agnostics and Keith Williams, a local Charlotte skeptic who wrote a
letter to WBTV Charlotte to express his concern over their reporting
of the PopFest as an example of "Science and religion butting heads".
