Talksport Radio (www.talksport.net) in the UK is about to have a discussion about the Moon landings with the 'foremost experts' to prove that man didnt go to the moon.
The host is Ian Collins, the worst sort of pub bore, tabloid hack who'll swallow anything if it livens up his show.
It's a phone-in but I'mnot very good at that sort of thing so I've 'emailed the show'.

The news-reader bloke (who Collins chats to during the show- it's quite an informal station) seemed quite clued-up. He refused to go along with Collins's cheap, matey cynicism and demanded 'absolute proof' that the landings were faked. Good for him. Not everyone on commercial radio is a fool.

Just had a look at Talksport's website. They appear to do a weekly programme on the "unexplained". The text on the site appears quite uncritical as to the credibility of the various psychics, ufologists and spoon benders they interview. Couldn't look at the discussion forum as it's on my employer's banned list.
Quite what this has to do with sport eludes me.

The sports reporters are generally pretty good but there are lots of phone-ins, with the good and bad that entails. The other programmes tend to be obnoxious-host-led phone-ins with bottom-of-the-barrel guests. As you say, they are pretty uncritical of their credentials.
