“I find this episode very informative, well reasoned and well researched.
I wish Brian does another episode to cover recycling of —
1. Water
2. Human and animal night soil
3. Organic waste- compostable
4. Wooden materials
5. Building materials
6. E-waste

“Skeptoid was the first podcast I discovered way back in 2007 while playing around with my new iPod. Since I never skipped an episode, not even the ones where Brian sings!”

“I’ve been listening to Brain for a few years now and it’s always interesting how his stories unfold. It’s also a good podcast if you want to know more about American local folklore.
Keep up the good work. We need more sceptical minds like yourself.”

“Brian Dunning is an excellent podcast host, quite knowledgeable and witty in a sardonic way. He suffers no fools gladly. My only issue is this show so thoroughly debunks popular misconceptions and urban legends that it will ruin every fun topic like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster with logic...”Read full review »

“I really like the episodes on less sensational topics like “surveys and polls” and “how to change a conspiracy theorist’s mind”. Big foot, chupacabra, and UFOs are fun but there are more subtile issues to direct our critical attention toward.”

The show has no say in what the ads are.
(The exception are the ones where is Brian doing the talking. Those are mostly about other things he does.)”

“I feel like this podcast sometimes picks and choses “facts” to suite its narrative. The Brazilian ufo case all he doing is reading official government reports.

“This is my only “must listen now” podcast. Always informative and insightful and a great palliative to what pops up on most of the Web. I also appreciate the humor that is always present along with the willingness to say “We just don’t have an answer.””

“Always a great show but Brian Dunning may very well be in league with the mosquitoes (as a recent episode revealed), so do be mindful of his pro-mosquito bias.”

“Skeptoid covers an interesting array of topics, many of which I would credit it for introducing me to. The host champions the scientific method and empiricism, and calls himself a skeptic. I would characterize him as a debunker instead. Mr. Dunning will (typically after an intro ad or plea for...”Read full review »

“Dunning comes off with the booming voice of an authority, but his ability to separate fact from scientific snowjob is weak. Case in point: He considers organic foods a "fad," despite 10-12,000 years of human farming whih was all organic. He's been led astray by the seed genomics...”Read full review »
