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 journalists in the mainstream media. The podcast will also include interviews and research performed by the Nonsense Team (so far, Jason and Me).

We don't actually have anything as yet, although if you'd like to hear a sample of the kind of things I intend to contribute, here's my "audition tape": An examination of the phenomenon of speaking in tongues.

Jason and I have some big plans for publicity and outreach. I will definitely keep the JREF up to date on the developments in this project.

Let me know if you would like to be involved.
 
I got back tonight from an afternoon in Sydney, doing primary recording for Episode Zero of the Nonsense Podcast. We should have it online and available for download within a few days. The link will be nonsensepodcast.com (don't go there just yet...) but we'll also have it available on iTunes and all major podcast hosts.

In Episode Zero, we introduce the podcast and what it's all about, outline the various segments we are planning, and interview each other for our "Get to know a skeptic" segment. By the end of the Quickies, we were riffing off each other like pros. It took us only a couple of hours recording, plus three hours editing on Jason's part, and it's all done.

It was fun. It was a lot of fun. Of course, I did have the delightful Navigatrix to keep me company on the drive up and back, which was nice.
 
One thing's for sure. You will never run out of material, the whole bable is at your disposal. :)
 
Joined your group, although I am a novice on Facebook.

And you have a very good speaking voice wolli. Good luck.
 
No, the three of us. We were all under your bed holding our breath. :)

Did you know that you talk in your sleep?
 
That was you on the "speaking in tongues" link that I downloaded?
Yes, that would be the one. That was my "audition tape" for the podcast. I think it sounds too scripted, because it was. The actual podcast recording was a lot more impromptu, and sounds like it.
 
Episode Zero has been posted!


...in the wrong format.

Not to worry, Jason's doing the conversion right now, and very shortly we'll have it available as an mp3.

iTunes submission will probably take a couple of days, but in the meantime, if you can manage m4a files, the link is:

Now re-posted in MP3 format.

In Episode Zero, Jason and I introduce the podcast, and outline what the plans are for the future. We also introduce ourselves by interviewing each other for the Get To Know Your Skeptic segment.

Enjoy! Episode One (which will be the first to follow the structure we outline here) will be posted in about two weeks.
