I really appreciate when someone takes the time to explain why a thing is or is not correct in detail as opposed to hand waving (even when the hand wave is correct). The foundation produced its own "Internet Audio Show" which ran from January–December 2002 and was broadcast via a live stream. The videos deal with various complementary alternative medicine subjects including homeopathy, chiropractic, acupuncture and more.
