It is based upon an interview with Dr. Richard Burton about his book “on being certain.”

In this episode of The Prism, Jason and Grant chat with Mr. Paul Ingraham, former massage therapist and woo apostate. His Wikipedia-esque website PainScience.com has a wealth of information about aches, pains, and injuries. In addition to hundreds of articles, he also has comprehensive science-based ebooks about common pain problems like low back pain, so-called “trigger points”, and running and overuse injuries like plantar fasciitis, all richly referenced. Skeptics will particularly enjoy some his writing, like his response to allegations of negativity
