“the 2 main skeptics are really quite good, however the other "experts" rarely contribute anything and when they do it is in a very negative way. In one podcast one of the broadcasters did nothing but swear and talk down everything - while this is critical, it isn't critical thinking!”

“As a general skeptic, I hoped to find a good source of facts that could be used to aid the debunking of some of the more popular and accepted myths and conspiracy theories. Instead I found nothing more than a bunch of people who laugh at those who do believe in such things without offering any...”Read full review »

“You guys used to take this podcast seriously and present it in a concise, succinct manner. Now all you do is try to keep the comedic banter going on and on. If I want comedy, I can download Conan. Get back on track.”

“5 stars easy. The intro's and endings get a little annoying when listening to a bunch at once but you can always listen to the full length shows.
These guys have an opinion on everything and have made me consider my opinions on a few things.”

being a skeptic. Well that gets old quick. Sometimes I gatta wonder if these people would

listenable. But I do...”Read full review »

“i was surprised to see the high marks for this one-sided podcast. There are no skeptical comments to the 'party line. This is a really shallow podcast, no one thinks outside the 'MAINSTREAM' box. You could say this podcast is paid for by the Rockefeller foundation”
