Alex Tsakiris is a successful entrepreneur turned science philanthropist who hosts the Skeptiko podcast, which is a labor of love and an obvious passion. In 2007 Tsakiris founded OpenSourceScience.net, a non-profit project that helps to fund controversial science experiments.

I've only heard a few episodes of Skeptiko so far, but I really like where this guy is coming from. I think he did a great job at separating out some of the historical facts from fiction when he interviewed Jon Ronson, the author of "The men who stare at goats" and then followed it up by interviewing Paul Smith, the author of "Reading the Enemy's Mind". The comparison helps to show how one author was more concerned about weaving a funny Hollywood story for George Clooney and the other had a true desire to shed some light on a fascinating program that seems to have made some real breakthroughs in the field of remote viewing and psychic spying.
