Not bad, not too good either
I subscribe to a good bucket of science, technology, and skeptical inquiry podcasts and have recently dropped Skepticality from this. I recognize the hosts try their best but the pacing is slow, the content seems poorly mapped, and the discussion model doesn't seem to work with hosts as polite as these two. Derek was the engine of the show while Swoopey was often a bit self-righteous and blatherous (if that's a word). The interviews are well done as I imagine the backbone of Skeptic magazine helps bring in some heavy weights in the field of rational inquiry. I may grab one or two of these as time passes but otherwise, the content found here can be gotten elsewhere and better.

If material about skeptical thinking is what you're looking for then keep looking. There are other podcasts out there hosted by people that have some expertise. A couple of sycophantic know-it-alls they rarely challenge the guest or ask any hard questions. Also, I couldn't take the chick's...Read full review »
