Default Gnosticism, ancient and modern

When I browse the Bible Geek Listeners group on Facebook, I find posts from Miguel Conner.

He has an Examiner post on Gnosticism here and runs a pod cast that has hosted a lot of well known, credentialed scholars on Aeon Byte (Indie go go campaign here), and has a book that looks intriguing, 'Voices of Gnosticism (or via: amazon.co.uk)'

I have listened to some of his podcasts, and they all start off with 20 minutes of performance art, followed by a solid interview.

Has anyone here had more experience with this resource?

"Voices of Gnosticism" is transcriptions of the people he's interviewed on his podcast -- Birger Pearson, John Turner, Elaine Pagels, etc. It's OK, but it's more of an introduction to the subject, kind of a Cliff Notes version of those authors' essays and books.
