Episode 32 – The Last Spoonbender

BSP: Believer Skeptic Podcast

In this episode, Cody and Chris talk spoon bending, levitation, and touching yourself with your mind. That’s right, this one is about psychokinesis and telekinesis, that special power Cody still thinks he can get one day (he’s working on it). First, Cody talks about Angelique Cottin, a girl whose doctor “verified” her powers were actually poltergeists. Chris then discusses Nina Kulagina from Russia, a girl they say was quite the heart stopper. Next, Cody shares a tale of the Tibetan Monks who have quite the towel-warming psychic force. Chris’s last story is about Uri Gellar (no relation to Ross or Monica), an Israeli man with the power to bend spoons among other things. This weeks drinks are: Kris Pino Grigio and Baltika Porter.
