What are you listening to?

My personal journey into skepticism began back in the early 90s before the internet was publicly available, but podcasts now form a significant chunk of the skeptical content that I consume. My particular favourites are The Skeptics Guide to the Universe (a great weekly roundup of science and skepticism), Oh No, Ross and Carrie (weird and often humorous investigations into fringe groups and claims of the paranormal), and Sawbones (fascinating medical history of dubious devices and cures, but firmly science-based). But there are many others, and tastes vary.

Back in the day, there were some NZ-based skeptical podcasts. Unfortunately these have fallen by the wayside - undoubtedly due to the busyness of the hosts (disclosure: I was one of those hosts). The CUSP and Skepticism Today spring to mind, but there may be others.

As skeptics, we should be trying to spread critical thinking. One of the best ways is to share podcasts with friends and family as part of a gentle introduction (some might say indoctrination!) into thinking more skeptically. What can you share today?

Have a great week, and stay skeptical!
