I just found out that the new Skeptics Guide to the Universe podcast is out– and I’m on it! I talked about Pluto, Eris, and other fun astronomical goofiness.
Oh– and some guy named Randi is on it too.
About Bad Astronomy
If you went to BadAstronomy.com and found yourself here, never fear: the BA Blog has moved to its new home at Discover Blogs. The original BA site (with the Moon Hoax debunking and all that) is still online, too.
Phil Plait, the creator of Bad Astronomy, is an astronomer, lecturer, and author. After ten years working on Hubble Space Telescope and six more working on astronomy education, he struck out on his own as a writer. He has written two books, dozens of magazine articles, and 12 bazillion blog articles. He is a skeptic, and fights misuses of science as well as praising the wonder of real science.

What a bonus. Randi is joining them for a regular slot.
Whith Shermer going with Skepticality and now this, if we weren’t a big happy family I’d suspect there was a ratings contest going on.
It’s all win win for the listener’s anyway.

Oh yeah. I’ve listened to every free episode of the Skeptic’s Guide to the Universe. Love’em. Every week, it’s Skeptic’s Guide, Atheist Experience, Non-Prophets, Point of Inquiry, Scientific American, Skepticality, Infidel Guy.
It’s non-stop skepticism. Thanks, Internets!
