b'[This show first aired 12/02/2007.]\\n\\nPJ Manney\'s first appearance on Fastforward Radio / The World Transformed!\\n\\nShow highlights:\\nOur\\xa0Tales of the Paranormal\\xa0feature is back. We learned that the "Association for the Study of Unexplained Phenomenon" is claiming to have a working "telephone to the dead."Does technology - the Internet, video games, etc. - does all that make us more or less\\xa0empathetic?What does it mean to be a geek or a nerd? Is\\xa0autism\\xa0part of the picture?We listened to an excerpt from the pilot episode of CBS\'s new sitcom "The Big Bang Theory." Good news - the geeks are the heroes in that show.If you have a\\xa0smart kid, do you praise the child for being smart or try to play it down?Lastly, we got a great story about PJ\'s Xena episode, "Is There a Doctor in the House?" PJ was too modest to mention it, but this episode is both a fan favorite and\\xa0the\\xa0favorite episode of Lucy Lawless.'
