Funny Skeptics from the UK
This podcast is sort of like a British version of the Skeptics' Guide to the Universe podcast. It has three hosts: Mike Hall, Michael "Marsh" Marshall, and Alice Howarth. Mike Hall is the main host of the podcast and is the most comedic of the group. Marsh is a professional skeptic (possibly the only one in the UK) heavily involved in skeptical activism. Alice is the scientist of the group and brings the perspective of a researcher to the discussion. The podcast is loosely structured. It typically begins with the hosts talking about what they have been doing lately (trips they have gone on, something funny that happened recently, etc.). Then there are a series of segments about skeptical topics. This can include things like an evaluation of a news story or recently published scientific paper, a change in government policy regarding things like homeopathy, or some research or investigation one of the hosts has recently done. Finally, upcoming events such as Skeptics in the Pub are announced and the podcast finishes. Serious subjects are discussed but the hosts are not afraid to go off on tangents and make jokes quite frequently. They come across as a group of friends having a good time. If this sounds like something you want to listen to, I recommend listening to the most recent episode to get a taste of the podcast. Be careful, you might find yourself laughing out loud and people looking at you strangely.

I first heard mention of the Merseyside skeptics on The Skeptics Guide To The Universe so thought I'd give a listen to some home-grown skepticism. Getting better all the time, and as the presenters have become more familiar through regular listening, I would say this has become my second...Read full review »

Yet another skeptic podcast? No not quite... Following in the steps of the greats like SGU, Skeptoid and Skepticallity, the Merseyside skeptics cover everything you'd expect from a quality Skeptical podcast but do so with a slightly edgier sense of humour. The comedy they inject when exposing...Read full review »
