Pod-Casts

 

So you can’t find the time to read all the skeptical and scientific journals and blogs. How about Podcasts? What I do is download a bunch of podcasts at once and then play them whenever I am in the car driving somewhere.

And for your consideration, here is a list of my favorites …

Skeptoid http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=203844864

This is a weekly 5-10 minute podcast dealing with skeptical subjects. One Week, one subject. What I really like about this podcast is the way Brian first gives you the whole story as known to us, the breaks it down and discusses it in detail, reminding you, at the end of each episode not to believe him either but to go out and find the truth for yourself.

The Skeptics Guide to the Universe http://www.theskepticsguide.org/sgu.aspx?MasterPodcastId=1

This is a great Podcast for many reasons, to name but a few.

It is hosted by a real brain doctor.

It has 5 hosts, so you get more than just one person’s opinion.

It has games to help you sharpen your skeptic brain.

And has some great interviews.

Skeptics Guide 5X5 http://www.theskepticsguide.org/sgu.aspx?MasterPodcastId=2

Similar to Skeptoid but created by the SGU team above.

Geologic Podcast http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?id=3964507

This has got to be the funniest podcast out there and it is by a skeptic who covers everything from music, to science, to nature with other stuff thrown in for fun.

Science Talk http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=122384595&s=143441

This is a weekly podcast by Scientific American. It is about 50/50 Science/Skepticism and has a game every week to help you practice your skills.

The Naked Scientists http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=74171648

This is a science show with games and experiments you can do at home, plus interviews and news on the latest scientific discoveries. What I love most about this show is that it is scientists being scientists, no skeptical activism i.e. True Skeptics living their life and vocation with having to say that they are skeptics.
