“If you're in the "skeptic community", you'll probably like this podcast. And you're not the kind of person I'm writing this review for.
A person outside the skeptic community who just wants to hear some interesting information should look elsewhere. There is occasionally an interesting or intriguing bit here, but you have to listen to hours of droning to get to it.
For those who don't know, "skeptic" is a code word which means essentially the intellectual equivalent of a bully. Just like physical bullies like to pick on weak people and not people their own size, skeptics spend most of their time not vigorously discussing interesting topics with other intelligent people, but rather sneering at dullards and superstitious and gullible people, and congratulating themselves on being so brilliant for accepting scientific explanations for everything. They all speak in smug and pompous tones of voice that sound like fingers on a chalkboard after a few minutes.
If you're a masochist, by all means listen to this podcast. But if you want something interesting and scientific to listen to, you'll get a much better hit ratio by skipping skeptic podcasts altogether.”

There is a good range of topics and the interviews from conferences like TAM5 leave me extremely envious. I also keep my ear open for books...”Read full review »

“In the increasingly rare style of grad students making fun of idiocy, Skepticality restores some of my faith in the future of mankind. Why is ignorance rewarded? Why must we tolerate the bleats of the truly dumb? While the fashion of the day seems to be to denigrate science, liberal (in the...”Read full review »
