Prove It! -

From 1999 to 2000, Peter Jones and T. John Hughes co-hosted Prove It! on Working Assets Broadcasting in Boulder, Colo. Heard on KWAB-AM and worldwide via internet, the two-hour talk show focused on critical examination of unproven claims from the worlds of science, health, religion, paranormal, history and politics, delving into everything from conspiracies and contentious anthropological theories to psychic phenomena and Virgin Mary sightings. The often-controversial multi-guest show was avowedly skeptical of all sides–in a healthy and open-minded way–but also respectful of everyone, generating some ire, but also attention from the press, skeptics’ websites and an independent documentary filmmaker. Some of the full two-hour broadcasts are below.
