Philadelphia journalist Steve Volk is here to talk bout his book Fringe-ology, which chronicles his exploration of “fringe” topics like psi research, UFOs and ghosts. Matt and Steve discuss the state of skepticism, spirituality and much more in this episode of the DisinfoCast.
Fringe-ology is my attempt to reconcile a mysterious ghost story from my childhood with my lifelong, down to earth occupation as a journalist. My solution was to do journalism—to investigate that family ghost story, and other paranormal topics, in the high style of narrative nonfiction. What I found is a great tale that’s been relegated to the fringe of our discourse for too long—a story about all of us, a story filled with ghosts, UFOs, maverick scientists, psychics, spoon-benders and the people who love and hate them. More importantly, I found common ground we can all share—a place for skeptics and believers, spiritualists and scientists, to stand together—not at the fringes, but at the heart of what it means to be human.
