Alex, in case you don't know, this podcast got cited in a recent scholarly article by Bruce Greyson in the Journal of Near-Death Studies.
"Are some mainstream psychologists really so locked into their worldview that they ignore data that contradict their beliefs? Two prominent British psychologists recently published a paper in the prestigious journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences, with the definitive title, "There is nothing paranormal about near-death experiences" (Mobbs & Watt, 2011). (...O)ne of the two authors, Caroline Watt, acknowledged in a subsequent interview that they did not consider features they could not explain, such as accurate out-of-body perceptions or meeting deceased people not yet known to have died, because they did not consider those features central to near-death experiences (Tsakiris, 2012)."
