Oh, but I was looking forward to this one. I've read a lot of Dr Kripal's previous work and the Super Natural seems perfectly timed to coincide with Star.Ships... other hands on the same elephant and all that. Anyway, it's a good ol' chat. We conducted it via the Skype/phone octoparrot, which you may notice in the audio. Topics included  <ul> <li>Animism</li> <li>Phenomenology</li> <li>Materialism in the academy</li> <li>Challenges in parapsychology</li> <li>The origin of the term numinous as well as how it is experienced</li> </ul> Show Notes <ul> <li><a href="kripal.rice.edu">Jeff's academic page</a></li> <li><a href= "http://www.amazon.com/The-Super-Natural-Vision-Unexplained/dp/1101982322"> The Super Natural</a> (Amazon US)</li> <li><a href= "http://www.amazon.com/Authors-Impossible-The-Paranormal-Sacred/dp/0226453871/ref=pd_sim_14_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=0T75AST4J6A07PEZ6QZJ"> Authors of the Impossible</a> (Amazon US)</li> </ul>
