    When we moved to Xenfora some of the signature options didn't come over. In the old software signatures were limited by a character limit, on Xenfora there are more options and there is a character number and number of lines limit. I've set maximum number of lines to 4 and unlimited characters.

Yes, the Skeptic Zone does it again. Listen to Stephen Fry, Stephen Fry is well-known as an English actor, comedian, author, television presenter and director.

During his uni years he teamed up with Hugh Laurie to appear on a whimsical sketch show entitled A Bit of Fry & Laurie. He has written several very well received books including The Liar, The Hippopotamus, and half an autobiography called Moab is my Washpot. More recently he produced a scholarly but friendly guide to understanding and writing poetry entitled The Ode Less Travelled.

You will also have seen him in popular TV shows like Blackadder, four series of Jeeves & Wooster and the popular quiz show QI Stephen Fry also spent a very short time in Australia whilst filming for his next project - and we're proud to have him on Skeptic zone podcast, telling us all about it. If you're after good skeptical-soundbites to use in response to people, get them fresh with a Fry perspective! :)

In addition - breaking news with a MAJOR scoop for us with TV Anti-Vax story in our regular feature "Dr Rachie Reports" (who will feature on another popular podcast, very soon in an interview herself!) and a review of the soon-to-be-released Star Trek movie by our reporter Michael Wolloghan.
 
He really was excellent, wasn't he? I didn't know he felt so strongly about homeopathy, etc. I am going to have to start reading his books.

The Dr Rachie was also very interesting. I normally stay away from commercial television, and didn't see either of the reports from SN. I downloaded (eventually - broadband? What's that?) the 3 May broadcast. I was very happy with the way the panel were able to show how the AVN spokesperson was twisting the statistics.

Cheers and looking forward to EP 29.
 
The Stephen Fry interview wasn't live, was it? It was mixed together from separate audio streams. Not that I'm complaining - it was still a great interview, interesting and enjoyable. I can only dream of interviewing someone of that stature.

And, in the same episode, stuck in somewhere between the scam alert and the Think Tank, you'll find a little promo by me and Jason for the new Nonsense Podcast. Thanks Richard for letting us put that there.
 
So many podcasts.. so little time! I must either spend more time in the gym, or more time driving.

Guess which one will win?
