#180 – GHOSTS, GEARS, GADGETS AND GOLEMS
Peter Bebergal studied religion and culture at Harvard Divinity School, and is the author of the new book Strange Frequencies, which chronicles many of the ways people have sought to use technology to transcend the mundane to reach the numinous. We talk about the ways people have used (and continue to use) technology in fringe research, art, entertainment, and in pursuit of revelation.

- Interview with Frank Sumption (video). This interview was by Bill “Fact or Faked” Murphy and is from his DVD about The Stanley Effect…a theory around the piezoelectric effect which, to the best of my knowledge, relies on geology not present at The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park CO. That being said, it is a lovely hotel and in the fall the Elk in the parking lot are amazing. And real. —Blake
