Skepticality is BACK

This is great news: Skepticality is back! The premier podcast of skepticism went off line a few months ago when Derek Colanduno, one of the two hosts, decided to have a major brain aneurysm. It’s not really the life choice I would have made, but there you go.

Anyway, Derek is doing a whole lot better, and he and Swoopy (mmmm, Swoopy) are back on the air. Not only that, but they are now the official podcast of the Skeptic Society, which means my old friend Michael Shermer will be on the show a lot, as well as other skeptical luminaries.

The first show is up now! They’ll make you laugh, they might make you angry, but they’ll definitely make you think.

Whether it’s the return of Skepticality, Ouija boards or alien abductions… I await the evidence

Phil!

Thank you SO much for this announcement on your blog! Me and Swoopy are both amazed at the support we have already had in the past 10 hours since we put out that new show! Fills us back up with the podcasting vibe and REALLY makes us want to podcast again and be back with all our friends out here in the web-a-verse!

“He provides the evidence, as does the E-Skeptic I just received. Not only that (!) but I just downloaded the new episode! Get thee to a podcatcher for thy proof awaitetheth.”

The evidence has been provided for the existence of ONE new episode… but there is no evidence for the existence of MORE new episodes. At least six new episodes are needed before this can be considered compelling evidence

Derek and Swoopy remind me of Jesus: they all promised to return some day, but none of them gave an exact date

Derek and Swoopy: 1
Jesus: 0
