podcasting is hard |
I discussed a trio of podcasts: Be Reasonable, Reality Check, and The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe. Be Reasonable does useful work interviewing proponents of paranormal, pseudoscientific, and/or poorly evidenced ideas and beliefs. Be Reasonable is a production of the Merseyside Skeptics and has returned to production after a nine-month hiatus. Reality Check is the oldest skeptically focused podcast in Canada, and each week, a tight thirty-minute episode is produced that usually discusses a trio of topics. The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe has a long history and consistent track record. I share my view on its current state with its newest member Cara Santa Maria.
I then discuss two stories shared recently by Doubtful News. The first was a piece on Doubtful News website regarding evidence that the extinct Tasmanian Tiger aka Thylacine is actually still alive in the wilds of down-under, and why the proffered proof is not very convincing. Finally, I cover the case of a road covered with red unmarked skittles, which is a news article that was shared on the Doubtful News Facebook page. Local Wisconsin local law enforcement found a road covered in the sugary goodness. Surprisingly, the event has brought attention to a common secondary use for spare candy production, and the mystery of where these particular skittles originated is still a mystery.
Here's the link to the Skeptical Review piece on the recent episode of Be Reasonable with Mark Sergant that I mention during the episode.
The entire episode is a thankfully brief 24 minutes of me blathering on. I am not sure, but I think I blacked out at some point. Anyway, I hope it is enjoyable and that I did the show proud. Torkel performed miracles of editing. In a fortnight 15 Credibility Street will be back with a regular episode. Hopefully, I have not dinged the show's own credibility too much.
