- Skepticality - Science and Skeptic Thought

We discuss our new website, Swoopy covers the news, and we have an incredible discussion with Jennifer Michael Hecht. Author of the book 'Doubt: A history'. We talk about how doubt and skepticism has existed throughout known history, and how is has been viewed over time. An interesting discussion about religion, doubt, skepticism, and humanist views.

In this episode, we are honored and excited to present to you, an interview with James Randi! James was kind enough to spend some time with us on the phone talking about the JREF, the Million Dollar Prize, and those pesky folks that think they can talk to the dead! Come join us and Mr. Randi for a great conversation.

Ever wish that a look really could kill? Why is there a giant eye on the back of the one dollar bill? The eye is everywhere, and like Swoopy, sometimes it's up to no good.

We have a very special guest, Benjamin Radford, editor of Skeptical Inquiry and Pensar Magazine. Author of Media Mythmakers, and employee/expert at CSICOP. Benjamin joins us for a lively discussion on how the Media and Activists use myth, emotion and bad statistics to mislead us.

We have a very special guest, Tom Flynn, one of the Editors of Free Inquiry, Member of CSICOP, and the Center for Inquiry. Tom is also an accomplished book author, and well respected Secular Humanist. Come join us with Mr. Flynn as we discuss the meaning of Secularism, and how it applies to current events.

We have a very special guest, Rob Irving, from Circlemakers! Rob joined us to talk about the 'myth' of the crop circle and how he and the team of folks he works with create some of the beautiful and no-so-mysterious circles we see in the wheat.

The aPOD, (Astronomy Podcast of Doom!). This was a joint podcast which included 5-6 different science and astronomy based podcasters. The show/gathering was made possible by the folks at Slacker Astronomy, who gave us permission to play it as well! Since we are going on vacation today, this was a great little gift so we could bring you something cool to listen to! We hope you have as much fun listening as we did creating it.

Welcome to Whimsicality. This is our 'in-between' show, a short segment by Swoopy on one aspect of life that is whimsical, strange, or bizzare. An investigation into the lighter side of life, where non-sensical crap is fun, for just under 10 minutes.

The Roswell UFO Crash, Bad Judgement of Wiccan Parents, Salt, What Darth Vader Brings to Bed...

This episode we investigate the mythos of the fortune cookie. Why does this little folded treat have that little kernel of wisdom inside? Who put it there, and what power does it really hold? Come inside, and find out!

This is our first interview show! We have a very special guest, Phil Plait, PhD Astronomer, Author of Bad Astronomy, and popular skeptic seen on the most recent episode of Penn and Teller's 'Bullshit' on Showtime. Join us with Phil, he's a great guy and proves that critical thinking can be FUN!

Ancient people believed the earth was flat, Private Property Rights, Ugly Ripe Tomatoes, Sweden - (You can love your pets... just don't LOVE your pets!)

This episode we investigate the power of ROCKS! People throughout history revere, worship, study, and keep rocks as cuddly, low-maintenance pets. But do they have mystical powers?

Founding Fathers Beliefs, and the Two-Spirit tales.

Machiavelli (He's really not that bad...)

Great people are also REAL people (this time it's Ghandi), licensing 'alternative' medicine 'gurus' as real medical practitioners.
