Need a volunteer

Astrogeek 17 Apr 2011 05:52

I need a volunteer. I want to interview someone who started out afraid of the 2012 doomsday nonsense, and who has come around full circle to be someone who debunks it instead. I want to interview this person for the next episode of the "Just Another Day" podcast.

The interview will be conducted via Skype in the next week.

Sorry. I don't qualify since I never believed any of it. We have several people who have started out terrified and have come out of it though. That's a good idea for an interview of one of them.

I would probably qualify, I was terrified until i discovered this site, now I help other people by debunking their fears, I'm not the most scientific debunker, know nothing about astronomy or any of that, I'm a geographer.

Though I would need to find a working microphone and my accent is very British so i'll help you out if you can't find anyone else!

I could probably do it but I seriously doubt anyone would understand a word I said.

The great thing about science is, it's true whether you believe in it or not.

I fit the first requirement, as I was absolutely terrified of 2012 doomsday predictions.

Although I haven't done very much as far as debunking is concerned. I have referred one or two people to this site and convinced a friend on Facebook that the "polar shifts" were a load of nonsense, but that's about it.

I would proudly do it Astro, I know you have seen me from when I came here as "Anxious" the guest til now as I am on here all the time helping people and even created my own page! :-D I have changed so much from the first time I found this website, and I'm know you and others have seen my transformation.

I would be happy to have a discussion with any of you.

If you are interested please email me at gro.xaoh2102|nimda#gro.xaoh2102|nimda, and I'll contact you to set up the details.

I'll be conducting the interviews via Skype, which means that I can interview anyone with a working telephone. You don't need any special equipment. I'll place the calls, so it will be on my dime (and if you are in the US or Europe, it will probably be free).

Maybe interview multiple volunteers :-)

I agree, and those who mentioned their strong accents shouldn't worry about it. It won't hurt to let people know that there are those in countries other than the US being frightened by the 2012 hoax.

Nobody's accent can possibly be worse than my southern-U.S. accent, anyway.

I sent you an e-mail Astro, I think I sent it to the address you provided above. I say I think because when I tried to send it was acting weird.
