| Steve Novella of SGU and me. I’m not sure who the other guy is. Probably a zombie judging from the eyes. |
Guess who’s featured in this week’s episode of the great podcast Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe?
Rory Calhoun.
No wait, I mean me! The SGUers contacted me to add some color commentary to the astronomy news that’s come out this week, including: the weird hype associated with a paper that simply confirms and sharpens an old result, echoes of a past supernova, and encapsulating entire stars.
Randi makes an appearance later as well. If you don’t listen to SGU, well, you should. It’s one of the best skeptical ‘casts around, and it’s the official podcast of the JREF.

Thought you had a no swearing policy on your blog?

JREF? Isn’t that some sort of aquatic diving club?
I hear their president is a character!
Great podcast. Wish I could get these easier at work instead of having to go through all sorts of proxies that get shut down once a week. It’s not like we’re doing anything productive around the holidays (I mean more productive than the Gubment usually is). (Don’t taunt me IVAN3MAN!)

Like the astronews bit hopefully it will continue in the future.

I saw SGU and thought you meant Stargate Universe. But this sounds good too.

Zombies judge with their teeth, not their eyes.

Now I have an image of the SGU in the stargate universe:
Steve is pointing out all the logical fallacies of the bad guys
Rebecca is trying to find the local version of booze
Evan and bob are trying to make averyting out of nano machines and carbon tubes
Jay is upset he cannot find his favourite kinds of websites on the otherside of the wormhole.
And every other episode they have Phil And Adam Savage on to explain everything or make everthing.

“If you don’t listen to SGU, well, you should. It’s one of the best skeptical ‘casts around, and it’s the official podcast of the JREF.”
Is that an order Mr. President?

Larian LeQuella, the thought never crossed my mind to taunt our hero in the U.S.A.F. for putting his aviator skills to good use by using “all sorts of proxies that get shut down once a week” in order to circumvent his employer’s firewall so that he can enjoy listening to podcasts while goofing off at work!

Always a blast to have you on, Phil! Well, usually a blast. More often than not. Sometimes. Ahem. Hey look at that great photo! Whoever snapped that is a genius I tell ya.
