podcasts

I vaguely remember a recommendations thread for webcomics but not one for podcasts. So here it is. Wooden Overcoats Podcast Sitcom. It's pretty much what it says, a sitcom (of sorts) set on a fictional UKian island and involving rival undertakers. And a novel writing mouse. I rather like it...

Hey all. Podcast producer and host Dan Taberski (I recommend his "Running from Cops" and "Missing Richard Simmons") has a new seven-part series called "9/12," about some interesting and unexpected societal impacts of 9/11. All episodes are worth a listen, but in episode four Dylan Avery and...

I've spent a large chunk of our lockdown watching Mathologer, Numberphile and ThreeBlueOneBrown. They all manage to leave me feeling really clever until about 30 seconds afterwards when I couldn't even attempt to explain what I just watched. So a) any recommendations for podcasts in a similar...

I have two to recommend myself and if anyone knows some other good ones I'd like to hear about them. The first one is Hardcore History by Dan Carlin. This has been a thing for years and there's only a handful of new episodes released each year. But that's because he really does his homework...

What are your favourite skeptical and atheist podcasts? Some of the ones I listen to (to keep from being bored at work) are: Skeptics with a K The Non-Prophets Cognitive Dissonance (If we're going to have a subforum for discussing subjects raised in podcasts, we should at least have one thread...

It occurred to me as I was listening to the latest episode of StarStuff that I don't recall anyone ever mentioning this exceptional podcast on any JREF threads. http://www.abc.net.au/science/starstuff/ This is an Australian Broadcasting production that I have been enjoying for many years...

I've recently started listening to The History Network podcasts. They are usually less than 30 minutes, and free. Topics are all over the place, though certainly battles seem to figure prominently in their subject material. I've listened to seasons 14 and forward. I'm thinking about...

http://podcasts.joerogan.net/podcasts/brian-dunning Brian Dunning is an American writer and producer who focuses on skepticism. He has hosted a weekly podcast, Skeptoid, since 2006 and is an author of 5 books on the subject of scientific skepticism. I like Joe Rogan's podcast...

Hi People (and any thing/entity not covered by the term people) I am looking for some new skeptical podcasts that I might be able to listen to AND enjoy. I currently listen to SWAK, Cognitive Dissonance, Skeptoid, Be Reasonable, Righteous Indignation, InKredulous, The Skeptic Zone, Point of...

I have started a new group in Utah meant to promote positive skeptical activism in the state of Utah. My group is meant to fill in the obvious gap of skeptical activist groups in Utah. One of the upsides for non-local people however, is a bi-weekly podcast. I am desperately looking for...

Interview and cold reading with Vicki Monroe (Righteous Indignation podcast) I can see previous threads mentioning the Righteous Indignation podcast, but I first heard of it last night (at Skeptics in the Pub). The current edition is a break from their normal format, and is the complete...

Well, Dr. Dean Edell wrapped up his 30+ year career doing skeptical medicine. Such a shame, too. I listened to his shows via podcast, and he was an incredibly refreshing breeze countering every manner of fad, fraud, and quackery. He regularly quoted from big studies in response to innumerate...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to be asking this, but I'm looking for a specific episode of a podcast. I was sure it was RadioLab until I failed at finding such an episode. I remember that it was an interview in which the interviewee argued that it was most likely that our universe was...

http://thecusp.org.nz/podcast/2010-09-12/episode-seven You are hereby forbidden to tell any of your friends about this awesome podcast. Seriously - don't make me come over there...

I was listening to my favorite Paranormal podcast Mysterious Universe(it's good for a laugh) and recently they had this guy called David Eckhart on talking about his countless abduction experiences. During the interview he said two things that jumped out at me. One he stated that he couldn't...

Ok, I think Skeptiko has gone too far and too long without a good public critical analysis. I'm confident that there are many people who take Alex and the extraordinary claims presented in the show very seriously. http://www.skeptiko.com/ For those who don't know, Skeptiko is a podcast that...

Coming Soon!!! New Podcast from Down Under. New Zealand's First Podcast (There may actually be 2 coming, but ours will be the best :-D) Watch this space. More info as and when it comes to hand... We're looking at recording the pilot episode in early Dec, so hopefully we'll have something...

From the Patty/BobHeironimus Bigfoot thread: Monster Talk epidsode #001 with Prof. Todd Disotell, PhD: http://monstertalk.org/wordpress/?p=16 From the website: I'm listening to the show while posting this so my commentary will come after this post.

For those of you that don't already know, Science Magazine regularly has a podcast. For this week, they have one concerning research over racism, how we think we will react towards racism versus what we actually do. The abstract to the article is here...

I am now officially a co-host for the upcoming Nonsense Podcast. We don't actually have a link yet, because we're still in the planning stages. But we have a Facebook group. The Nonsense Podcast is intended to highligh the latest in pseudoscientific news and lack of critical thinking by...

Like tapered pants and the Swatch, the deadly measles virus has come roaring back into style after morons refuse to vaccinate their children. And speaking of vaccinations, it turns out most parents want their girls to be vaccinated against HPV, despite the fact that it may encourage them to...

Robert Krulwich for Radio Lab gives an outstanding commencement address to the 2008 graduating class of the California Institute of Technology. I personally found it very compelling. http://blogs.wnyc.org/radiolab/2008/07/29/tell-me-a-story/

Brain Thompson of the Amatuer Scientist has posted a couple articles over the past two days dealing with the A&E shows Psychic Kids and Paranormal State: In response to the later article, Chip Coffey says he has contacted authorities over a 'threat' that Brian supposedly made. The percieved...

Hi all, I just wanted to start an appreciation thread for this podcast. I listen to a wide variety of podcasts and I appreciate the no nonsense flavor of skeptoid, both in its content and its production. Brian gets right into the topic, has a nice linear script, and never lets up on his logical...

I couldn't decide which section would be the best to post this in. But I have been wanting my fellow skeptics to check out my podcast and give me feedback on it. Warning: It is explicit and deliberately offensive. Think Howard Stern or edgier John Stewart. If you know you would hate something...

just listening to it now. Bunting is no more convincing in print either. So much wooly thinking she could start a sheep farm. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/audio/2008/feb/14/richard.dawkins

If the following apply to you: 1) You are a geek. 2) You follow American politics. 3) You like geeky humor about politics. 4) You listen to podcasts. You should definitely subscribe to the following: The It's All Politics Podcast It's a short weekly podcast. It's well-paced and fun. (Caveat...

Any bright ideas on how to download podcasts automatically, in much the same way that iTunes does it, but without using iTunes? Much as I love iTunes, something went pear shaped on a recent update to the software and now it's unremovable, un-updateable and unuseable. So...anything else out...

Hey all, I posted this in another thread, but later it ocurred to me that it would fit much better here so here goes:

Hello. New to the forum. I'll be posting infrequently, but it's cool to find a place like this on the internet. To get right to the title of the thread -- I think it's time, the conditions are right, the tools are there now, and the will of the JREF seems to have turned towards this affirmative...
