Ep#98 – The ‘Conceptual Penis’ Hoax – James Lindsay
This week on The #GSPodcast Dr. James Lindsay (@GodDoesnt) returns to talk about the controversial paper he co-authored with Peter Boghossian (@PeterBoghossian) titled ‘The Conceptual Penis As A Social Construct’. Intended as a hoax, it’s been celebrated and criticised widely. I’ll be putting some of the criticism to him as well as touching on the Sokal affair, the peer review process, gender studies, transphobia, social justice and more!

I hope you can provide an honest, fair discussion that includes some of the crucial issues mentioned below. For example, will Skeptic — or either author — acknowledge the factual errors in their post? (Probably not.)
