    Barrie Schwortz: The Shroud of Turin (Part 2)

    I was lucky enough to interview Barrie Schwortz on two separate occasions before he died in 2024. Barrie was a kind man. After the interviews we stayed on talking for nearly an hour combined and I found him extremely congenial and down-to-earth. May he rest in peace.  Barrie was the Official Documenting Photographer for the Shroud of Turin Research Project (STURP), the team that conducted the first in-depth scientific examination of the Shroud in 1978. He played an influential role in Shroud research and education as the editor and founder of the internationally recognized Shroud of Turin Website (www.shroud.com), the oldest, largest and most extensive Shroud resource on the Internet, with more than fifteen million visitors from over 160 countries. In 2009 he founded the Shroud of Turin Education and Research Association, Inc. (STERA, Inc.), a non-profit 501(C)(3) corporation, to which he donated the website and his extensive Shroud photographic collection, as well as many other important Shroud resources, in order to preserve and maintain these materials and make them available for future research and study. He served as the President of STERA, Inc. Here is the second interview I did with him.  You can visit Barrie's website here: https://www.shroud.com/ ----------------------------------------- Mick’s Newsletter: https://michael-gallaghers-newsletter.kit.com/f258bcb19a ___________________ Mick’s Gear and Recommendations 🎤 Sennheiser headphones + Mic https://amzn.to/4r3WkOk 📘 Moleskine Classic Notebook https://amzn.to/4nV82YT 🖋️ PILOT Vanishing Point fountain pen https://amzn.to/4piWZtU ☘️ Traditional Irish Tweed Wool Vintage Cap https://amzn.to/4rlq5uv ___________________ Buy Me Coffee (Support the Channel): https://buymeacoffee.com/michaelnegx Mick’s Merch: https://mg-supplies.creator-spring.com/ A podcast that explores topics outside the mainstream.
