As I’ll now be hosting two episodes of Point of Inquiry per month, there will be much to cover. My central area of focus will be the intersection of science and public policy–the issues where we need better literacy and citizen awareness, and less politics, to get the right answers.

I may as well make clear I am not going into this with the goal of having big arguments with leading New Atheists about science and religion. My position on this topic is well known, but as a host, my goal is not to advance it, but to create interesting, informative content. I am not ruling out covering evolution and religion, but the show also has another host, Robert Price, who, as D.J. Grothe points out, specializes in religious skepticism.

In any case, I want to make a public call for topics that Point of Inquiry, with me as host, ought to cover. What do you want to hear about?
