Comments on: Skepodcasts http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/08/25/skepodcasts/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

I like it when they swear, 'cause the kids get a thrill! They don't get to hear stuff like that often.

SGU is banged out week after week and is consistently great. Over the years they've got better and better. Making Rebecca a regular was a masterstroke. Oh, and don't forget the SETI Institute's <i>Are We Alone</i>. Another brilliant skeptical podcast. Our BAB overlord is a regular. Be warned though, when Seth and Phil get together it is puns at 25 paces. Skepticality isn’t as frequent as it used to be but it is still essential listening.

They used to be more "adult", but lately have avoided using (eg) the "F" word. Too bad, I related more...thought it projected a more uninhibited, contemporary atmosphere. Guess they're trying to relate to a younger audience and are afraid of being criticized for "swearing". Wait a min. A younger audience would love it. Screw the uptight parents. Release Rebecca.
