“This is my favorite skeptical podcast because it goes beyond mere skepticism and spends a lot of time showing how educated people think through problems, especially with the "Fact or Fiction" segment. They have delightful in-depth interviews, where they are not afraid to challenge fellow skeptics on their beliefs or their approach. Anyone listening to this is likely to learn something every week.
The only reason I don't give it a perfect score is because sometimes, in the heat of conversation, they can fall into passing on urban legends such as the "NASA pencil myth" (check it out on Snopes), and have expressed views on Bjorn Lomborg or even Dr. Phil without actually knowing the material they are criticizing. Such excellent skeptics and thinkers such as these should know better!”Read full review »

“Manages the difficult feat of being both educational and entertaining to the lay person. If you have anyone you care about slipping to the dark side of bogus medicine or getting caught up in conspiracy-talk, make them listen to an episode or two (or three).
Highly recommended.”Read full review »
