What People Are Saying...

Do you enjoy Skeptoid? Tell me so.

Love, LOVE the podcast. You are responsible for many a guffaw on the NYC subway. And some strange looks. Maybe it's me but when I have facts and validated reasons why I do what I do, life just seems easier. And a hell of lot cheaper! Having a healthy dose of Skeptoid reminds me I am not crazy and always puts a smile on my face. Thanks!
- Manifest Stefany, New York City! Where else...

Just saw initially stumbled across "Here Be Dragons" in a search for a picture of an ancient map with such words. I then downloaded the movie and am thoroughly impressed and glad that there are other people who have shared intelligence and logic. I will now be following this podcast, and will definitely be sharing the movie with my friends. All the best.
- Michael LeBlanc, Vancouver, BC

An accidental meeting, no magic, I just fell over you. Thank you for being there. Listening to your podcasts makes me feel sane again. Thank you so much.
- Juli Bazso, Ladysmith, BC, Canada

Thanks for the show Brian, it is informative and enjoyable.
- Jon Burnham, Grand Junction CO

I am a Nutritionist by profession always searching for truth.. one which is not tainted by self-interest or greed. I really enjoy listening to your podcasts and find them enlightening. Keep at it!
- Barbara, Nicosia, Cyprus.

Just wanted to say that it was great to hear you on BBC Radio 5 Live today. You reached a big audience - several million. Interesting to note how sceptical the interviewer was with the natural remedy guy. I like to think the tide is turning; thanks to people like you!
- Simon Evans, Warwickshire, Englad

Thank you for being willing to stick your neck out there and deal with the frightening stupidity in the world. My Mother-in-Law, whom I adore, has been completely and totally drawn in by the Kangen Water junk. It's pretty much destroying her retirement. If you can keep somebody else from going that way, it's well worth the idiots that are happy to spam you.
- Sara DuBois, Spanish Fork, UT

I love skeptoid. Why? I love good thinking. I love logical, fact-based thinking. Skeptoid. A breath of fresh air.
- Elsa, Montreal

I love listening to Skeptoid, but I recently developed a greater appreciation for the research process involved in the creation and presentation of each episode. Thanks, Brian, for continuing to wade through the vast and treacherous swamps of information, and for encouraging me and many others to think critically.
- Elizabeth, Davis, CA

Brian commits an astonishing amount of his personal time to the great cause of education and the pursuit of truth. Skeptoid makes being skeptical fun. Keep up the great work.
- Ben H., Houston, Texas

Hi Brian, i recently found your podcasts a few weeks ago and I cannot get enough of them. Im working my way through them from the beginning and have around 100 to go. I don't quite know what i will do when I'm up-to-date. I applaud your approach, it is like a breath of fresh air. One other thing I really like is your sense of humour. Keep up the good work Brian.
- Stephen Carlin, Brighton england

My beloved massage therapist asked for some of my podcast recommendations. Yours was among a list of about 10 I wrote down for him. When I saw him the following month, he specifically mentioned yours as one of his two favorite podcasts. He further stated that he had listened to almost EVERY episode, and that it had really changed him. You are changing the world. Thank you for your work. I will definitely be a contributor from now on.
- Micah Rafferty, NYC

I wanted to offer my sincere thanks for your tremendous efforts. I am grateful for having discovered your work. I intent to support your efforts in as many ways as I am able.
- Fritz Nott, Tampa Florida

Brian! The podcast is incredible, and the pleasure that I get from listening to it has paid dividends. Not only has it improved my personal level of knowledge and critical thinking, but it's allowed me to converse with the not-so-skeptical and feel confident. All thanks to you!
- Justin Rose, Portland, OR

Brian, just want to take the time say a big thank you for your podcast, it's awesome! Cheers.
- Peter, Sydney Australia

This podcast is a great way to get knowledge and a good belly laugh at the same time. Keep up the wonderful work.
- Liam Nolan, Sydney Australia

Thank you Brian, you have been an intricate part of me growing up mentally and seeing things in a safe, correct and amazing way. The way true knowledge gets us ever closer to understand the flaws and glitches in our logic, moral and ethical behaver and towards knowledge about the cosmos as it is, not as we want it to be.
- Markus Swärdenholt, Sweden

I found your site because my creationist friend tried using the Mt. St. Helens argon dating argument against me. Well needless to say I learned the details (which seem to be amazingly underrated and understated) and passed them on to him. Thank you for all the great information!
- Chris Ryan, Hollywood, ca

I recently watched 'The Business of Being Born', a documentary espousing home birth. The curse of having an open (or possibly credulous) mind is that, by the end of the movie, I was convinced that home birth was better and safer than hospital birth. But using the critical skills I learned here, I was able to once again restore rationality. Thanks very much!
- Tim Nordloh, Castle Rock, CO

Just wanted to drop you a line telling you how much I love your show! It's great to hear a voice of reason over the howling insanity that is the internet!
- Stuart Hodge, Adelaide Australia

After a lot of searching on the net, I have come to believe Skeptoid is one of the best critical thinking resources out there. I teach LSAT classes to prepare ambitious students for the exam. I always direct them to your site to help them learn how to think critically for the exam. As a result, you've indirectly helped some of these students go on to become attorneys. Hopefully you aren't too ashamed at helping people become lawyers. If it's any consolation, my MCAT classes also get directed to your podcast.
- Carlos Caro, San Antonio, TX

I thought I was alone or at very least an extreme minority. Now, I know where ever I am I won't be the only skeptic.
- Michael Tognarini, Lancaster, PA

Hey I just wanted to drop by and say I really enjoy this podcast. I'm working my way though all of them (eventually). Of course conventional wisdom can be wrong. As you might guess I am a skeptic too, and going to school to be a journalist in order to help spread skepticism.
- Zachary Nirich, indiana, Usa

Mr Dunning I just sent a donation to thank you for your podcasts. They are so entertaining and helpful. I am a medical practitioner and clinical senior lecturer in a graduate med school. I often want to put an argument across with a skeptic viewpoint and you are just so succinct that I envy you your clarity and communication skills. I quote you as a source of rational thought. Continue the good work.
- Ted Ledner, Southwest of Sydney Australia

I've been turning as many people on to your podcast as I can. I am ashamed to admit that I had bought into a couple of the hoaxes you've debunked!
- HB Radke, Seattle, Wa

Keep up the great work.
- Paul R Pearson, Houston, TX

Just quickly, Love the podcast, Enjoy having my thoughts provoked. Appreciate the humour. I've given you a good review on Stumble and recommended you. Hope to increase your listener base.
- Ian Oyagi, Saitama, Japan

When I was young (way back in the '80s!) my father would encourage me to watch and read Carl Sagan's Cosmos, and anything by David Attenborough. Skeptoid is having the same positive influence on my children. To the point where I saw my eldest squeezing some lemon juice juice onto her tongue whle we ate some fish and chips to see if "the man on dad's iPod was right about it tasting the same wherever it is on your tongue". So thank you Brian Dunning for a fantastic show, it is an invaluable program for everyone who enjoys thinking critically.
- Lachlan Lacey, Acacia Ridge, Brisbane, Australia

I just wanted to drop a line and let you know how much I enjoy the program. I would also like to thank you for helping me study for the LSAT (the law school entrance exam). I had been listening to your podcast for a few weeks when all of a sudden I did particularly well on one of my practice exams. “Was it possible,” I wondered, “that listening to Brian Dunning successfully root out logical fallacies had put me in the right frame of mind to do the same thing myself?” In case you don’t know, approximately half of the LSAT consists of an “arguments” section in which the test taker is given a statement or argument and then asked to modify it in some way (ie. make it stronger or weaker, identify a parallel argument etc.) almost all of which boils directly down to finding the logical flaw in the argument and then acting on it. Anyway, I just got back my score from the actual test, and thanks in no small part to your podcast (at least in my humble, non-scientific perspective) I scored in the 99th percentile. Thank you for all of your help and for a great podcast.
- Adam Waks, San Francisco

This podcast is timely, witty, and bursting with endless streams of razor-sharp logic. You have the courage to own up to your errors, the tact to desolve the most cancerous (look! a weasel word!), harmful ideas. Critical thinking is as routine now as breathing. My wife and I listen to your podcast daily and want you to know that you've had an incredibly positive influence in our lives, which we are now sharing with the rest of our world here. Thank you.
- M Minar, Port Hardy, BC, Canada

Just a note to say how much I enjoy your podcasts and comments! Thank you... Keep up the great work!
- Ken Klein, Northern California

One of the best podcasts I've ever listened to. Finally an application of critical thinking and logic in a country addicted to pap, drivel, and mythology. Believe me, in my area of Nascar, Beer Alcoholics, and hillbillies who slam anyone questioning the status quo as an "Educated Idiot", your podcasts are a very large breath of fresh air.
- Michael Gordon, Allegan MI

You saved me. If there is anything tangible in my personal life I can consider a savior, it's Brian Dunning. There are many proponents of junk information which I have spent endless hours researching. I must admit Skeptoid has saved me many years of personal, social, financial and psychological harm. In turn I will be supporting this site and promoting it to friends and family. Once again my gratitude extends to you for dedicating your time and effort to providing some of the sharpest tools for critical thinking available with the epitome of good intentions. Brian you are simply amazing and necessary.
- Derrick, Alberta, Canada

Love your podcasts and eagerly await them. I have a super iPod where I collect them and listen at night to my delight. I also hook them into the car and enjoy on trips.
- Susan jaffe, Bronxville NY

I'm a huge fan, I've just found your podcast existed a few weeks ago, and it has been playing almost constantly while I caught up on all the past episodes. You make critical thinking wonderfully entertaining and logical, you are doing a great service to humanity. I look forward to listening in the future, please keep up all the good work.
- Zackery Doremus, Boise

Love is too strong a word, but I definitely enjoy Skeptoid and appreciate the range of subjects you explore and the honesty of your approach.
- jack, San Francisco

I just wanted to write and give you kudos and tell you how much I enjoy your podcasts. They are very thorough for the short amount of time you have in each podcast. I really like the fact that you are able to take in all the facts and possibilities of a certain event without bias. It allows the reader or listener to draw their own conclusions before you give your take on it. Great podcast, love it, keep up the hard work and thanks for the entertainment and mind floss if you will.
- Jordan Murdock, SPC USA, Washington/ USAG Grafenwohr

Mr. Dunning, I came across your podcast a few days after after randomly remembering a skepticism class I took in Fresno in 1999, which was centered on the outstanding book "Why People Believe Weird Things," by Michael Shermer. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that Skeptoid is by far the best podcast that I have come across in my extensive research. I'm an EFL teacher in China now, and I regularly teach my students about the importance of logical thinking (believe me, the Chinese are in desperate, desperate need of some sound logic), and have used your podcast as listening practice and discussion topics. Keep up the good work!
- Michael DeZubiria, Luoyang, China

I'm a science and math teacher in Edmonton, Alberta Canada and absolutely love your work. Keep up the great work and I'll keep spreading skeptoid to my students and colleagues!
- Dustin Bajer, Edmonton, AB Canada

Thanks so much Brian. So far you have assisted me in helping a loved one cope with the reality of pyramid marketing schemes and is currently assisting me in helping my sister to escape a world dominated by pseudoscience beliefs. The quality of your podcast has made the task of inoculating myself and others against some of the practices of con artists and the simply misguided a real pleasure. Never lose that touch of humor, it really helps some people laugh at themselves as well. Thanks inordinately.
- Gavin Hook, Brisbane, Australia

Brian, I discovered the Skeptoid podcast quite by accident very recently, and have spent the past couple of weeks devouring episodes. It is without a doubt one of the most informative and well-produced podcasts available. I'm particularly impressed with your frequent reminders to your listeners not to take your word for anything, but to do their own research. In short, great job. Thanks for reminding us all to think critically.
- Chris, Philadelphia, PA

Just sending some praise from the UK. Not only do I enjoy your podcast and recommend it to others, but I think it is incredibly valuable in today's increasingly irrational society. Keep up the good work!
- Tim Roser, East Sussex, UK

Greetings, I've been following advances in science, religion and even "Fortean" or Urban-Legend subjects since I was a kid. I wanted to state that it was refreshing to find a site wherein facts were presented in a manner quite balanced, without degrading into an air of smugness I have found at other sites. Kudos to your objective nature and easy-going writing manner. Keep up the good work. Thanks again!
- Jason, Currently Stationed In Cuba

Just found your podcast, and listening to them all from the beginning. I can't say how much I appreciate your work. I can tell it's a daunting undertaking, and I want to encourage you to continue. I am not sure I could put up with all the lunatics emailing me constantly and telling me how I am tool of the government! You're a positive influence on the American culture curing itself of venomous politics, and the general polarization of the masses. I'm not sure it'll ever happen, but if we can get critical thinking into our public schools, we might have a shot at being less crazy! Thank you very much.
- Matt Cason, Ft. Worth, TX

Just wanted to say that I listen to several podcasts, several of which are skeptically oriented, and recently came across yours. It's a great addition to the stable of podcasts I listen to because your short topical format is very concise, and your frankness about sources, opinions, and methods are forthright and allow me to do some research on my own. Thanks for your efforts.
- Bill E, Rhode Island

Why is common sense no longer common? Mr Dunning, thank you for bringing us back to the real world!
- Carl Rabarber, Melbourne, Australia

I am always impressed with the way you frame the topic of each show so that you can answer every relevant question while being entertaining and keeping the podcasts short. The advanced planning and research really show through.
- Henry Ruddle, San Jose, California

I am greatly relieved to have found many skeptic sites which use EVIDENCE to debunk the normal myths and conspiracy theories floating about. There are way to many of these conspiracy nutcases on the net, spewing forth unsubstantiated and misresearched rubbish! Keep up the good work.
- Barry, South Africa

Just found this website and it's a refreshing slice of sanity. I'm working my way through the archives as we speak. Thanks Brian.
- John Stokes, Dubin

Thank you for doing this. I have started pushing people to your site. I have listened to about 50% of your posts/casts now. I do so when I run or bike. You do a great job, and your dry humour wins.
- Reichart, Maui

It took about 120 seconds into "The Truth About Remote Viewing" to hook me Brian. Skeptoid is anything but boring and the length of the pocasts are so dead nuts on. But as I learn and digest somehow your content moves me into theta waves :) Keep up the excellent work and we hope you come to Des Moines soon.
- Doug Mitchell, Des Moines, Iowa

Thanks SO much! I love the podcast. I've been following you since the early episodes were coming out (5 or so) and I listen every week. Keep up the GREAT WORK!
- Jeff Person, Bismarck, ND

I love this podcast. As soon as I earn my own money I'm donating. Please keep it up. It is very hard to think of anything more important than what you are doing.
- Chris, Cork

I recently subscribed to Skeptoid. I love the short episodes and bare-bones format as I can easily digest the information and understand it. Being a college student, I often find myself avoiding homework to listen to your podcast. I recently turned my brother, a high school student, on to your podcast. I think he will soon be a strong proponent of it as well. Keep up the great work.
- Daniel L, Walla Walla, WA

I would like to thank Brian for Episode 116, "How to be a Skeptic and still have friends." As I am only a college student, I am glad I made the mistake of being too critical of my friends this early so that I don't repeat it in the future. I look forward to more useful advice from you, and your book definitely has a place on my coffee table... as soon as I get one.
- Matthew Myers, Indianapolis, IN

First, I'll have to say that you do have an uniquely awesome voice. Second, I, like probably many others, am very appreciative of the professionalism you employ in the production, research and presentation of your show. Quality in. Quality out. It shows (or sounds). Lastly, although I could go on with many more kudos for your work, ethics, content and motives, I simply want to wish you continued success with this venture. No doubt that your commitment will reap tangible personal benefit for you, as I am sure it has had for your listeners. Enjoying your good works as always.
- Grant Noruschat, Edmonton, Alberta

I'm such a big fan of skeptoid. It's rare to find something that is so entertaining yet so thought provoking. Thanks Brian!!
- Toby Laverick, Melbourne, Australia

I love Skeptoid and tell folks about it often.
- Michael Buchino, Portland, Oregon

Brian I have been listening for about 6 months now and wanted to thank you for taking the time to produce Skeptoid. Your dedication is admirable and I appreciate your work. Keep it up!
- Gary Robinson, Landenberg, PA

I downloaded the Skeptoid podcast on the advice of a friend, who assured me that it wouldn't cure baldness, burn fat, or clean stains despite being thoroughly informative. I listened to fourteen or so episodes during my first go, and am now a rabid fan. Thanks!
- Andrew, Albuquerque, NM

I can't tell you how much I appreciate and enjoy your show. I've only recently discovered your podcasts and am one-third the way through them. I find your concise, direct approach mixed with hilarious wit and delicious sarcasm refreshing while I listen to you daily at work. I also like your vast range of skeptical subjects. Many other podcasts, though very good, mostly rehash the pseudo-medicine and paranormal topics. You leave no skeptical stone unturned with your critical thinking lessons from finance scams to bad movie science. I'm totally addicted and only wish each episode were longer! Thanks for all your hard work and research, and for the wonderful show you put out! You do the podcast world a great service!
- Chris Goebel, Gainesville FL

Critical thinking is grossly omitted from the education of America's youth. I have done my part trying to educate my 3 children and you have done much to help. Thanks Brian. You make everyone who listens smarter and more informed.
- Terry Muntz, Hillsborough, NC

Just started listening... I just got onto iTunes and subscribed to your excellent podcast. My only comment is something that I hear in my head (voices??) at the end of every epidode. You always say: "I'm Brian Dunning...from Skeptoid.com." Great podcast... keep having fun (because it sounds like you are...).
- Blaine, Riverside, SoCal

Love the show! I think you are doing important work, and I wish more people would approach life with a more critical eye. Keep up the good work.
- Steve Werny, Calgary Alberta Canada

Skeptoid is an enterprise that quite clearly has evolved to a level of sophistication that is both admirable and exemplary. It's good to know that there are a multitude of voices carrying the message of practical and applicable rationalism and so called skepticism in the United States of America. And Skeptoid is doing a tremendous job being one of those voices. Skeptoid serves me personally as a well produced reminder that there are people who need this kind of injection of applied common sense. (Being one of those highly rational and ice bear wrestling swedes I do not consider myself part of the target audience.) Thank you for 200 rather enjoyable episodes! I plan to continue to listen for as long as Skeptoid is available.
- Jens Landberg, Stockholm, Sweden

Thank you, Brian, for your excellent podcast and for all of the hours of effort spent researching and crafting each episode. Since finding Skeptoid a couple of months ago, I have been working my way through all of the episodes and have thoroughly enjoyed them all. Not only are they informative, but they are highly entertaining. And I happily - as should all of your listeners - just put my money where my mouth is and made a donation. Keep up the great work!
- Andy Klein, Philadelphia, PA

Glad to find your website. It's gotten to the point even the 'facts' websites must be viewed with skepticism. I look forward to paying attention.
- Frank M Smith, Campobello, SC, USA

Brian, I just wanted to acknowledge my appreciation for your "un-biased" informative articles. It is so refreshing to be able to have access to credible information. I have heard we are in the "information age". I disagree, I believe there is too much information to disseminate and people are more confused than ever...
- David M. Allard, Redondo Beach, CA

I've been listening to Skeptoid for almost two years. I think this podcast has the virtue of being entertaining and at the same time educational, with a well balance of time of duration for each show. Some of the topics have been of personal interest, they have helped me to find material and resources to answer some crucial questions. Thank you Brian and keep the excellent work.
- Jesus Lopez, Venezuela

Finding Skeptoid has turned out to be one of the most fortuitous accidents in recent memory. Brian, you are performing a very valuable public service…if only more of the public would read/listen and understand. Your primary emphasis on the process of critical thinking, rather than the validity of any specific pop phenomena, is excellent. Your work is enjoyable, stimulating, and enlightening. I can only hope the majority of the 110k weekly listeners spread the word about your good work. Thank you for your continued efforts…I have decided to become a contributor.
- Pete Tuckerman, St. George, Ut.

I discovered your site recently and I'm really enjoying your podcast. I have been a skeptic and atheist for my entire adult life. Keep on going, we're in the same boat.
- Kenneth Hoffelner, Vienna, Austria

Very enjoyable show - a breath of fresh air in our media-obsessed society of brainless celebrities, quackery, bad science and scare-mongering.
- Dave Franklin, Perth Australia

I have listened to and enjoyed all of your podcasts. This weeks' episode on Cargo Cults was quite possible the most thought provoking. I found it enlightening, educative, and informative. Thank you for the time and diligent effort you put into producing this weekly endeavor.
- Stephen Hanan, Broken Arrow, OK

I found this show about a month ago and after i listened the very first podcast I put all the shows in my downloading list(around 50 are left now). I am big fan of you. I am a 12th grade student and had view exactly like yours but i couldn't explain it well to others so thank you a lot.
- Sakriya Neupane, Kathmandu, Nepal

So glad i found your site. As an aetheist/Jew, the Jewish holidays have always brought much confusion and doubt to my own skeptical mind. Enough already with the constant "victim" role of the Jew. Thank you for this clarification of ancient history.
- sharon teig, sacramento,ca

Love the show! I was recently introduced to the podcast by a friend and cant get enough.. working my way through the list a few a day. A great unbiased look at many of the things that bug and I don't know how to word the argument but you do it perfectly and concisely showing both points of view without assumptions. Keep up the good work!
- jennifer kirchenbauer, directly above the center of the earth

I just want to say how awesome it is that you take your free time to try to enlighten people. Especially with the kind of grief you get when you tread on some one's sacred cow. That and just making the human error of getting a fact or two wrong out of a dozen or so and having people jump on it like it's the end of the world. Once again, fantastic job, guys like you are heroes as much as some guy that runs into a burning building to save others.
- Anthony Alonzo, Austin, Tx

I love how concise and to the point your episodes are, and how careful you are with language. Keep up the good work!
- Jeff Westfall, Evansville, IN

I found Skeptoid about a month ago and have listened to every episode. Love it! Perfect for my commute time. You make chaos feel orderly to start my day. Great job, Brian!
- Danny Mahfet, Savannah, GA

I love your podcasts, you are doing a great service to the online community. Keep it up, please!
- Debbie Dowden, Western Australia

I just want to congradulate you, Brian, on my hearing skeptoid on FM Radio. I was scanning stations on my way home from work not to long ago when it stopped on a station and "Denver Airport" episode was playing. I was shocked and surprised and then excited. One of my favorite podcasts was being heard by the general public. Keep up the excellent work.
- Christopher Carlson, Grand Haven, MI

Hi Brian, I love each and every episode, and although I may not agree with you 100% of the time, it is clear that you spend considerable time and energy in researching each episode and that you do your absolute utmost to get it right 100% of the time, given the available evidence. Thank you for giving me 10-15 minutes of listening pleasure each week. If you keep making them I'll keep listening to them.
- Richard Lane, Sydney, Australia

I came across your site when I typed in a search for "debunking 9/11 conspiracy theories" after a conversation with my Greek waiter last night, who assured me that 9/11 was a US government plot and he had the evidence to prove it. I appreciate what you're trying to do, enjoyed reading several of your columns and listening to some of the podcasts. I do think you have a good opportunity to positively influence some of your younger audience, and with that I wish you all the best!
- Kyrstyn Kralovec, Crete, Greece

I just want to say how much Skeptoid is awesome. I'm a High School student and it's easy to notice the lack of critical thinking in the Brazilian Society. Congratulations and thank you!
- Matheus Simonato, Sao Paulo, Brazil

I just found your podcasts and I totally love them. I work in a health food and vitamin store and all day long have to listen to stories of woo and the benefits of organic lifestyles. I've always been a skeptic and thus conflicted about working as a peddler of such things, but your podcasts have helped me find the best words to explain my views to others in a non-confrontational manner. Keep up the great work!
- alexis, FLA, USA

I came across the Skeptoid podcast a few weeks ago and I really enjoy it. I listen to each new episode, and I'm working my way through the past episodes.
- Rick Thompson, Chico, CA

Informative, entertaining, and all-around awesome!
- Max Wahrhaftig, Warrington, Pennsylvania, USA

I love your podcasts and I show Here Be Dragons to my college Physiology classes. Keep up the good work.
- LR Waldman, San Rafael, CA

This show is for anyone who wants to enlighten themselves and possibly save themselves some money and embarrassment. Join the growing community of people who are tired of listening to unproven statements and take a stand for Science and the betterment of society as a whole.
- Brooke, Victoria, BC.

One of the great thrills of my 20s and, I hope an ongoing theme of my life, has been the forming of a skeptical outlook and the honing of critical thinking skills - things I was not raised with. It has been an amazing journey - something that keeps getting better and better as I feel myself coming through the fog and developing discernment and incredulity in a way that actually makes the world seem more beautiful and more fascinating than it did before. In short, your podcast was a major component of the early days of my skepticism and continues to be a highlight of the week. I had never known there was a term for it before! Rest assured what you spend so much time on DOES make a real difference in how people see and interpret the world around them. And it is much appreciated. Thank you.
- Kathryn Daniel, Dublin, Ireland

Since I started listening to Skeptoid, I have since quit Scientology and I haven't ear candled once. Skeptoid has saved me from the stupid! It burns!
- Chris, Orlando, FL

I really appreciate your critical thought and especially your open presentation. Your example of arguing your points calmly and without attacking opponents is a model that this world can really benefit from. Perhaps after debunking pseudoscience you could consider relationship counseling! :)
- Andrew S., San Luis Obispo, CA

I have been listening to your podcast for quite some time. I am quite pleased with it and have even watched Here be Dragons. I have been watching from the first episode and have not yet reached the most recent but i hope to be soon.
- Adam, Sechelt, British Columbia

Pure awesomness and #150 made my jaw hit the floor. Your attention to details in every episode is amazing. Keep rocking and thank you!
- Maciej Chojnacki, Zgorzelec, Poland

I love your podcast. It's fun, interesting, and the perfect length for my short drive home.
- Dan Bewley, Tulsa, OK

Hi Brian, big fan of the whole Skeptoid thing... you rock. Keep up the great work and I really enjoyed your latest appearance on the SGU podcast - you fit right in like you had been there forever.
- Marc Johnston, Spain

Living in the South, I find I need to "mega dose" on the new-age energy vibes of Skeptoid, and the fresh corporate paycheck that comes with it. If you found fault with any of that then you will love this podcast.
- Braden Atchley, Laurel, MS

A breath of fresh air in a smoggy world. Keep up the good work Brian.
- Teresa Clanfield, Morocco

I have begun downloading the episodes recently, I love listening to them.
- Carlinhos Puig, Sao Paulo - Brazil

Just a quick note to tell you how much I enjoy your podcasts. You certainly put a lot of effort and yourself into each podcast. It's a real lesson in critical thinking to see how you break down some topics and apply logic and reasoning to them to get a plausible, scientific explanation for some of these "phenomena".
- Arthur Sawilejskij, Port Macquarie NSW Australia

I just want to say how much I love the show, the SGU turned me onto your show so I grabbed the latest one last week... and since then I have listened to about 65 more at work. Thanks a ton for doing this, and I definitely love the Listener Feedback episodes, they always make me laugh.
- Todd Wermager, Murfreesboro, TN

Hi I'm Campbell and I'm 14 this is by far one of my favorite modes of entertainment. Ive even passed it along to some of my friends at school and I use it as reference material for the final blow in an argument regarding auras and others, THANK YOU AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
- Campbell, midwest

What an excellent website. Great work on all of your research. Keep it up.
- Rudy, California

I appreciate the amount of research you do for each episode of Skeptoid. I am also thankful that you issue in print the podcast topics. I so often want to share what I learn with my hearing impaired mother but cannot. Thank you for making your articles understandable to the laymen. You make very important facts understandable to people who would otherwise be too lazy to seek understandable knowledge. I am a true fan of your work!
- Rick Seeders, Alabama (USA)

I LOVE THIS PODCAST!!! It is rare for completely credulous, psychic-seeing, anything-swallowing, wayyy-too-open-minded New Agers to swing from that end of the spectrum to the other, but that is what I have done through the help of your podcast (and many other skeptic themed podcasts/websites/etc which I have been voraciously digesting over the past couple months). After spending years seeing psychics, paying thousands for stupid self-development courses and books, and taking very very bad health advice from naturopaths and "organic lifestyle coaches" - I am finally free and looking forward to living in the real world. Thankyou for providing a voice of reason that is also entertaining, interesting, and 'enlightening' - pardon the pun. Brian Dunning - YOU ROCK!!
- Crystal, Chatswood, Sydney, Australia

Thank you for a wonderful site. Enjoy the Podcasts and will continue to follow. Thank you.
- Thomas Roy Garner, Seal Beach, CA

You sir, are an absolute blast to listen to. I first got into skepticism randomly with Carl Sagan, and you carry that banner just as well and elegantly as he did. Every week I can't wait to hear another mystery, and your clear and concise dissection of all the woo too. You're like Coast to Coast for not crazy people. Keep up the work that so many are gifted to have you give.
- Jeffrey Powell, Helendale, CA

Thank you for your Podcasts which are well researched and presented. I like the fact if later research changes an earlier podcast, you'll happily correct. No sweeping under the carpet incorrect information. I certainly look at things with a more skeptical eye now. I love researching hoax emails and finding their original sources (most August email revolves around "how Mars will be as big as the moon" and that rot!). Keep up the great work. Please!
- Quentin Hall, Perth, Western Australia

Your Podcast is one of the best skeptical podcasts that I listen to. You have created an entire series of shows that encourage people to think critically and inspire those like myself to continue to be a skeptic. Dont ever stop generating material for Skeptoid!
- Gary, Federal Way, WA

I am a college student and my twin sister turned me onto the skeptoid podcasts at the start of this winter break. I have been listening to them nonstop, and I can't wait to catch up. I will most certainly tell my friends about your podcast and I plan on buying your books as gifts for some of my family members. All I can think to say is that I'm definitely one of your podcast's biggest fans and if you ever stopped I would be so sad.
- Monica, Los Angeles, CA

I discovered this podcast a few weeks ago and started listening at episode #1. I've been listening frequently to try to catch up. I especially enjoyed the two episodes on logical fallacies. Thanks, Brian!
- Nicholas Peachey, Harrisburg, PA

I just wanted to say thank you for the Skeptoid podcast. I thoroughly enjoy listening and I appreciate your clarity and sense of humor. For me, Skeptoid acts as a vaccination against wayward memes that exploit or otherwise distract from a fascinating world.
- Andrew Bearsley, Melbourne

I've been listening to Skeptoid for some time now. I've probably heard them all. Recently I was tipped off to a cartoon that Build-a-Bear was using to teach kids about Global Warming. Thanks to your program, I was able to answer his seemingly logical arguments with my own, while gently accusing him of several logical fallacies. Thanks, Brian!
- John, New Jersey

I thought 'The Most Effective Homeopathy Podcast Ever' was brilliant, and then I just heard episode #150. It's obvious you are having WAY too much fun - stop making skepticism so enjoyable! We're supposed to be miserable curmudgeons!
- Michael, Wisconsin, US

I applaud your contribution to humanity, sir. I am frequently mortified at the number of people I encounter in daily life that, to varying degrees, live in seeming comfort with their vision clouded by superstition, ignorance and group-think. To embrace clarity of thought alone is commendable, to encourage others to do so as well, especially in a climate that is sometimes hostile to rationality, is laudable. Thank you for being both a source of encouragement to others sharing your desire for our species to embrace progress, and a personal inspiration for me to attempt the same with those I encounter.
- Jonathan Robert Frank Cooke, Jacksonville, Florida

I just read your piece on Bigfoot and Dr. Jeff Meldrum. You were very fair and caught my interest immediately! Great work Brian and thank you for being fair to both sides!!
- Dan Mckee, Freeland, Maryland

I enjoy your podcasts. Keep up the good work on exposing frauds and explaining myths.
- John Domanico, New Jersey

I just wanted to take a moment to applaud and thank you for producing and delivering one of the finest podcasts (or programs of any sort) available anywhere. Your approach is grounded, fair, well-supported, and just as importantly, fun. One does not have to agree with every given position you put forth...in fact, your credibility is elevated because you ask your listeners not to simply accept your arguments as proof. You challenge us to listen with an open (and skepical) mind, and then perform our own additional research in our own way to draw our own conclusions. It probably does help, I might mention, that you just happen to be right about most things! Funny how honest pursuit of truth using clearheaded and scientific methods works that way, huh? Bravo, sir. You do good work and I enjoy you tremendously.
- Dale N. Bradley, Denver, CO

Love your show, even though it's too damn short. All the best.
- Michael R, Whiston, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Brian, I just wanted to say thanks for your excellent site. In this day and age of information overload I think it's crucial that people equip themselves with the proper tools to separate good information from bad, and Skeptoid is a great resource for doing just that. Keep up the good work!
- Martin, Southampton, England

I really do love your Podcast. I was one of those gullible folks that have spent thousands on magic cures. I won't name any of them and I will say a few have helped, by helping me relax and think before acting, but they were never a cure and I have yet to wish my way to fame and fortune. Reality is a bitter pill indeed but one I need to swallow and glad I finally did. I got to the point where I had to choose between paying rent or getting the next level meditation tracks. It was when I was given a free copy of that next level that I discovered it didn't do anymore than the prior level, and so went the rest of my test. I began to question all of the supplements, videos and magic answers and the end result landed me in the land of Skeptics, asking real questions and looking for real proof. Keep up the good work!
- Cherie, Monterey

I work as a Pediatric/Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics and Neurodevelopmental Disabilities. Your podcast has truly made me a better clinician as I educate my families regarding various treatments/non-treatments. NP's do not receive the science education MD's do and I feel they may be more pulled into CAM's and the like. I just wanted to share this with you so you know that you no doubt probably impact many more that you might think. Thank you!
- Christina, Fort Worth, TX

It's always a pleasure to "meet" like minded people who never stop questioning life. I have just "encountered" your site and my whole day went onto reading just about everything on it. Fantastic. Thank you.
- Daniel Fournier, Brisbane (Australia)

Just wanted to Thank you for all that you do. I can't make a contribution yet, but as soon as I can spare some loot I will be sure to. Your podcast is a breath of fresh air... and I even had the opportunity to play your recent show about 'big pharma/vaccines' for my mother... who unfortunately has been 'sucked in' by all of the conspiracy talk and 'they're out to git you... steal your money and your freedom... blahblahblah'. Thank you for providing a voice of thoughtful and RESEARCHED reason in this day of blather and sensationalistic noise. :) I look forward to hearing your weekly show.
- Alex, Hillsboro, Oregon :)

I love Skeptoid! It's just what I was wishing for every time I heard some out-there-claim from my friends. Almost all my questions and random thought about Pop-phenomena I only knew vaguely is somewhere here. I admire Brian's Critical Thinking and I try to do the same. To sum up: I love Skeptoid!
- Kyriakos Agapidis, Thessaloniki - Greece

Brian, your podcast is my new favorite - unfortunately, I've listened to them back to back for several weeks and now I've run out! I'm afraid I'm now feeling a large gap in my life that can only be filled by asking you record at least 25 Skeptoid episodes per week from hereon it. No? Seriously, thanks for your podcast, you are, as in Carl Sagan's book sub-title, A Candle In The Dark. I continue to anticipate new episodes eagerly!
- Gord Tulloch, Winnipeg, Canada

I have enjoyed your weekly podcast for quite some time now. It was the very first podcast I ever listened to, but I had been visiting your website before that. Love your shows (and transcripts)! Today, I'll be making a donation to your good work. Hope to see your other fans do the same.
- L.J. Carusone, Venice Beach, CA

Keep up the great work, Brian! I anxiously anticipate each new Skeptoid podcast and enjoy your sense of humor. I like to listen to your latest opus on my daily walk. I challenge my friends and family to listen... if they dare.
- Jim Lewis, Atlanta, Georgia

I am a twelve year old kid, and I have to say, I love your little show. I am not some guy here to say: thank you for supporting our cause and keeping us a secret for so long. Sadly, I cannot donate because, well I'm twelve. And I have tried to recommend it to my friends, but they just smile and walk away, so as far as I know, I'm a loner on this. I don't know if there is any kid who has enough intellect to stop listening to Jay-Z for 10 minutes and listen to something that is actually interesting and informative. I don't expect to be featured on an episode; frankly because I'm not heretical, but I just want to say thanks for giving me something good to listen to after school. Thanks Brian.
- William Hall, Dallas

I love the podcast. I think that I have listened to every episode over the past month. Unfortunately, I now have to wait a week before I can listen to another episode. Thanks for all your hard work.
- Aaron McNay, Helena, MT

My boyfriend recently turned me on to your podcast, and I must say I am highly impressed AND entertained by your show. It's enlightening and so helpful to listen to someone who truly applies science and skepticism to real-world, every day issues. It gives me hope for the human race! I've learned a TON just from listening these past few weeks. I'm a fan; keep up the great work!
- Heather Spencer, Dallas, TX

What a fantastic web site I stumbled upon tonight. I have always considered myself a skeptic -- but in the best way possible of course. Your work is a great service and sensible counterweight to what passes for news these days. Well done. But, you're killing me over here because I now have nearly 200 episodes to catch up on.
- Terry Shea, Peekskill, New York

With my 50+ years I am not exactly a student any more, but I would like to congratulate you for this invaluable web site. Not only I appreciate your clear thinking, but also your precise and clear articulation, which makes it a real pleasure listening to the podcasts, even for a Bavarian hillbilly like me. :-) I just signed up with Paypal for a small monthly contribution, and I hope you'll get enough supporters for many future episodes.
- Richard Koellner, Bavaria, Germany

I just watched "There Be Dragons" to preview it before screening to my class of 10th grade Honors Chemistry students tomorrow. Huzzah, and well done! I am looking forward to their reactions... being boys, they are quick to buy into anything supernatural or Hollywoodized, so I often find myself trying to quell their enthusiasm for such stuff (and I don't do that lightly, as enthusiasm and curiosity should be encouraged, not quashed). I've enjoyed your podcast for about a year now and I consistently find it entertaining, informative, and outright funny. Thank you for fighting the good fight.
- Doug Errett, Reston, VA

The first thing I check after syncing my iPod is my Skeptoid Podcasts in hopes there's a new one waiting for me to listen to. Your podcast is absolutely excellent. Keep up the great job and thanks!
- George Scidmore, Sycamore, Illinois

Many thanks for a great show! All the best.
- Kent Gustavsson, Göteborg (Gotenburg), Sweden.

I found your website while searching for information on the "2012" end of the world myth. While I am not in complete agreement with you (that would be too weird), I find your page to be very good and your adherance to science refreshing.
- Sheri Kimbrough, Wyoming

Brian - thanks for all your hard work. More than once I have been party to conversation with people who deny the holocaust, think 9/11 & the lunar landing was a hoax, & your episode helped me keep my cool and explain what we know and how we know it. Thank you!
- Hans Schenk, Fairfax, VA

Thank you very much for what you're doing here, Mr. Dunning. I have been listening to your podcasts for the last few months (more so in the past week, when I broke down and downloaded all of them) and you have helped me immeasurably to approach things which have become commonplace in my life skeptically. Keep up the good work.
- Jeremy Buffington, Owatonna, MN

Keep up the good work - science, science, science.
- joe grey, indiana

Only just discovered this thoroughly enjoyable and informative show. I listen in the car and now look forward to my long journeys and the playing of many episodes. You've given me the tools and information to proactively apply critical thinking to the high levels of religiousity and pseudo-science out there. Thanks Brian and keep up the great work.
- Craig Jones, Swansea, UK

Very enjoyable series - discovered your site quite by accident last year. Pity it's not compulsory listening for politicians....
- David Frankland, Edgewater, Australia

Thank you for your episode on ghost hunting tools! My readers loved it!
- Barbara Bell, San Carlos, CA

I started listening to your podcast about 3 weeks ago, and work in a large retail store. I now look at the labels and advertisements for these products and noticed a few dodgy words, such as "Helps prevent infections", "Helps treat such disease", and then the famous "These statements not approved by FDA". It is amazing how much money people spend on the stuff that really does not help them one little bit. It's amazing what some critical thinking will open you up to. Thanks.
- Billy Lothridge, Walland Tennessee

I have just bought myself an iPhone and just discovered Skeptoid. I have read all sorts of skeptic literature, and I'm now a big fan of Skeptoid.com. Great work. I do what I can to spread the word.
- Torbjørn Eide, Norway

Found a great quote that made me think of your podcast: "It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in an argument." -- William G. McAdoo (lawyer and politician, 1863-1941) Keep up the good work!
- Alex Kolker, Illinois

I came across Skeptoid accidentally about 2 years ago, and have been hooked ever since. Listening to someone who only wants his listeners to question the world around them is refreshing in this time of prepackaged radio and TV comment and paid "Advertorials" presented as fact. Keep up the good work Brian, and keep your clarity of thought.
- Gill Davies, Sydney Australia

The time and effort put into each episode is obvious and heartwarming. The messages in each show are inspirational. I want more of this kind of content, where important questions are asked and science and reason is listened to, in pop culture.
- David, Georgia

Great show, Brian! We should all make it our quest to stay informed, educated and enlightened. Such a shame how many people live in the dark, only to become all the more credulous and ultimately victimized by nonsense and scheming charlitans. Skeptoid is one of my candles in the dark.
- Mark Haar, Toronto, Ontario

Easily the best skeptic podcast and a serious contender for the best across all categories. Always informative, clear, level-headed, well-considered and amusing.
- David Jones, Birmingham. UK

Hey Brian, I just wanted to drop you a note about how much I appreciate your podcast. It's great to hear something that promotes real critical thinking, even if I may not agree with everything you say. I take your podcast along wherever the military sends me, and your show has turned me on to other geniuses like Randi and Shermer. Keep up the good work, man.
- Dan, Eglin AFB, Florida

I just signed up for the monthly payment schedule. Since I just discovered you, and have been consuming multiple podcasts daily, I feel like the least I can do is give you something back. I like very much that your style of education is neutral in tone and understanding that for the most part, people are just misinformed. Thank you for your hard work. I hope that you are successful in your television persuits, as I am increasingly aware of how poor the quality of information coming out of ostencibly "educational" networks (watched the History channel lately? UGH!) Can't wait for what comes next.
- Kyle, Sacramento

I just wanted to drop you a love note for doing this podcast. I am really enjoying learning about critical thinking and how to apply it to everyday situations we often come across and don't know how to evaluate. I like that you are a positive person and present your information in a way that shows one can be skeptical yet not negative. I appreciate your sense of humor too. I see how easily I can be led one way or another. Learning critical thinking from you is a pleasure. I'm glad you followed your heart. It works for me! I will certainly recommend you.
- Robin Cubbon, Durham, NC

Mr. Dunning, I recently found your podcast on iTunes and I have to say I am hooked. Excellent work and I find I am getting more and more interested in researching things on my own. My one problem is that I want to believe in ghosts and you are just not making that possible. Again, thanks for the hard work and rest assured, I am doing my part to introduce others by to your podcast.
- Kelly Blades, New Hudson, MI

I have a great deal of admiration and respect for the level-headedness and courtesy you show others when the same is not being shown to you. You are a gentleman skeptic and that alone makes you stand above many. Please keep up the fantastic work!
- Susan Gries, Great Falls, VA

Thnx Brian for making me fall in love with Science!
- Qayin, Poland

My husband and I love listening to your commentary.
- Tawnya, Shelburne, Vermont

Love the show. You're an inspiration to critical thinkers everywhere.
- Gregory Mosher, Grafton, Ohio

I just wanted to drop you a brief note to say that I've been enjoying your podcasts. I recently saw you in person at Dragoncon and thoroughly enjoyed your panel (the podcast Raining Fishes and Frogs). Please consider coming to Dragoncon every year!
- Christine Mead, McLean, Virginia

I heard about Brian and Skeptoid through the SGU podcast and have been listening to your backlog of podcasts for a couple of weeks. I just want to congratulate you on your excellent work. I think every school kid should be shown your "dragons" video at least once during their schooling. Please keep up the incredibly important work that you do.
- Peter Morris, Adelaide, South Australia

56 year old Skeptic, always have and always will be. Just discovered your shows, and would just like to say how much I love them and how much I appreciate all the hard work you obviously put in to each episode. If you ever plan to come over to Scotland please get in touch.
- Eric Robinson, Edinburgh Scotland

Just attended Dragon*Con yesterday and had the time of my life. You delivered above and beyond any expectations I had (which were lacking, due to your typical 10 min format). The email you dissected and ripped apart was one of the best, if not, most entertaining skeptical-related dialogue I've heard to date, scripted or otherwise. Overall, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you taking the time out of your schedule to come to Atlanta to do this event. I hope you will come back next year, as your panel is the sole reason I come to this event. Thanks for everything Brian.
- Travis Morgan, Atlanta, GA

"There are 2 reasons not to wrestle a pig: first you get all muddy, second, the pig likes that you get all muddy." - Winston Churchill. I admire your dedication to the "I don't want to be educated" but I and so many others enjoy listening and learning. Thank you.
- bill fesh, denver

Like your show a lot and I hope it continues for a long time.
- David lp Fairweather, st stephen nb canada

I myself, have spent hours on the most wackie topic of 'em all: UFO's. I really got obsessed by the subject for some months there, until I finally convinced myself to seek a decent site like yours, and I must say, you cured me from this paranoid Big Brother feeling that had been haunting me for some time.
- Tom, Flanders (Belgium)

I just discovered your podcast a few days ago and you do an amazing job. Your podcast is a tremendous resource for critical thinkers. I'm listening to the listener responses episodes and am appalled at the things some of these people write to you. I've downloaded all the episodes and can't get enough. Thanks for what you do. Skeptoid is one of the best podcasts I've heard in a long time.
- J Seth Anderson, Tempe, AZ

I have just discovered your podcasts on ITunes. They make my trip to work bearable. Anyway, the podcasts are great, you are great, website is great, long may it last.
- Roisin, Zurich Switzerland

I have been a student of yours since episode 1. I just wanted to say thank you for having such a big impact on my life and way of thinking. I was a amateur skeptic before Skeptoid but now consider myself amateur-professional....my friends consider it annoying. Please keep up the great work!!
- Stuart Campbell, Folsom, CA

Thank you for Skeptoid. I never miss an episode. The city I live in (Asheville, NC) is a largely hippie/new age believer area and I'm surrounded by "open minded" people who let everything in without a filter. It's nice to be able to discuss alternative viewpoints to the commonly accepted pseudoscience. Once again, thank you and please continue the awesome show.
- Dan, Asheville, NC

I really enjoy Skeptoid. It's reminded me why it's so important to be skeptical, and it's helped me to reframe how I think about skepticism and open-mindedness, which is very important to me as a prospective teacher.
- Allan McPherson, Victoria BC

I heard about your podcast from a friend, downloaded/listened every episode at iTunes and I felt compelled to say "Thank You."
- James Whitaker, Murray, Kentucky

Big fan of the podcast. Thanks for taking time to put this podcast out there.
- Dave Smith, Gold Coast Australia

I just want to say that Skeptoid has to be one of my favorite podcasts. I usually listen to science podcasts but for entertainment I also listen to some of the paranormal ones. It was great to find your podcast. It too has great entertainment value. Keep up the great work.
- Robert Trout, St. Catharines, Ontario

I listen to several really good podcasts and cannot contribute financially to all, so I had to pick one. I have just sent you a donation. I enjoy your podcasts very much for several reasons. Apart from the high quality research and very interesting topics, the size of the podcasts is perfect. You hit a single topic and do it well. This is so tremendously useful. The biggest reason I felt I needed to donate is that my 13 year old son is now a fan. I listened to one episode with him and he was hooked. It was the Hadron collider episode. My son is a bright kid and wants to be a physicist so he knew more about the collider than I did, so I had him listen with me. You can reach kids and educate them and me, that is not easy! Good luck and thanks for the great work, best of luck.
- Mike, Buffalo, NY

I absolutely love your podcast. Not only for the rational take on pop fads, trends, legends, etc, but your laid-back delivery and non-hypey presentation. If people actually listen to what you're saying, they might not write so many hysterical emails. You present your arguments in a straightforward manner that has to change some minds. And a playlist of Skeptoid episodes makes for a great bedtime audiobook. And, no, not because it's boring, but because your voice is very clear and calming. And along that line, thanks for no theme music and blustery production values. I plan on doing my part with the "2 and 2." 2 friends and 2 reviews.
- Chris Carpenter, Mount Holly, NC

I am a Nurse Practitioner in Rhode Island. I am befuddled and distressed about the time I have to spend in my office discussing "alternative Medicine", Chiropractic spinal alignement or other assorted bunko. I have adjusted my office discussions because of your advice related to skeptical arguments with friends. You have excellent advice about making a patient consider a claim critically without making them feel like I am speaking down to them. This has enhanced my practice and made it easier to maintain trust levels. Thank you. I also am very jealous of your ability to research the topics you disscuss. I have difficulty critically analyzing peer reviewed studies in a timely fashion. Keep up the good work and I will keep listening.
- Stephen Propatier, Providence RI

Skeptoid has opened my eyes to an impressive array of critical analysis tools. (e,g, the misrepresentation of a position, then attacking that instead of the actual position). Thanks.
- Lee Wood, Vancouver, Canada

I've been enjoying your show for a while now, and the amount I've learned is amazing.
- Nathan, Maine

Brian, I absolutely love your show. I just discovered it a couple weeks ago and I'm now up to episode 100. I've sent several episodes to specific friends who have particular reality "issues".
- Lynn Miner, Chewelah, WA

A look through my iTunes podcast list told me recently that I've been listening to your podcast for a year now, and what a year it's been. Ever since I accidently stumbled onto your podcast I've been hooked. You've opened my mind to all types of scams and quackery not to mention that you've got me hooked on other podcasts like the Skeptic Zone. I wish to sincerly thank you for your podcasts and books, you are making a difference all over the world and I hope you continue to do so for a long time to come.
- Caitlin Reeve, Tasmania, Australia

Started downloading you off iTunes on a whim, but I enjoy the podcast very much. Listened to many episodes with an old (also skeptical) friend as we drove from Denver to Fargo earlier this summer. I'm impressed with the apparent amount of research you do for each podcast and I would encourage you to increase the flashes of wry humor that especially come out when you're responding to email from people who accuse you of being a Gray in a Black Suit sent by Big Corn to convince the sheeple that they don't really need free energy. Anyway, looks like you have quite a success on your hands, and I congratulate you.
- Daniel Higgins, Albany, NY

Just wanted to say how pleased and thrilled I was to come across your podcast via ITunes. Your podcasts are both interesting and informative and really jump start the old grey cells!! Your podcasts have really changed the way I think, process and analyse things, it's great!!
- jennifer rigby-allen, Rutland, United Kingdom

Well, what can I say... A wonderfully done podcast, with just right the ammount of information that is needed, skillfuly explained and - more importantly - researched. As you can see, I'm from a far away country, with a very different language. And your podcast is really easy to listen to, loud, clear, crisp, it's just perfect. It couldn't get any better. Please, keep 'em coming!
- Pedro Luiz Leone Gonçalves, Brazil

Just found you and am now seriously hooked. (also the first response to a podcast I have made.) I listen while driving from jobsite to jobsite and you have made it much more enjoyable. Also I am setting up a few episodes for my grandkids -- been trying to teach critical thinking and a skeptical mindset for years. Thank you for your efforts and PLEASE continue.
- John W Cassell, Byford, West Australia

Irreverent and deliciously logical reality check presented in succinct and concise weekly doses. I love it :)
- Greg Lysien, Sydney, Australia.

My older brother got me listening to Skeptoid on holiday last year and ever since then i've been listening to your podcast whenever I can. I love it! I especially love listening to the listener feedback, it really makes me laugh. Just keep doing what your doing and I'll be happy.
- Georgia Black, England

My Physiology professor recently posted a link to Here Be Dragons on his blog (he might detest pseudoscience even more than you). I just wanted to say how much I enjoy and appreciate your efforts! Keep it up!
- Philip Gonzalez, San Francisco, CA

I just want to say thanks for educating me, them and the world about these topics. Thanks for a great program.
- Joe Lansing, Parachute, CO USA

It is wonderful that you produce these shows like you do and do so in such an entertaining and educational way. I have personally introduced your show to three friends of mine. I know that I probably would not have the courage to do what you do and not to mention the credentials that you have which make skeptoid even that much better and more credible. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
- Ryan, phoenix,az

I just wanted to say how refreshing & brilliant your podcasts are. I always look forward to the next episode. I only found Skeptoid about a Month ago & have already listened to about 90% of them! Anyway, thank you Brian, you are the best science podcast out there by far!!!
- Rob Woolmer, Ilfracombe, Devon, UK

I have a six month old son and I intend to keep a copy of your Sarah Palin episode to play to him at the appropriate time in his development. It's a perfect encapsualisation of why reasoned and respectful debate is so important, and why simple minded attacks, while great for letting off steam, can be so destructive. Thank you for giving wisdom and clarity in a world where both are so lacking.
- Michael R, Melbourne, Australia

Freshly returned from TAM 7 and inspired by Tim Farley's workshop regarding skepticism on the web I was trolling iTunes for podcast goodness and found your most recent episode. I was listening to it in the grocery store and I was LOL-ing up and down the aisles especially the last letter. I am looking forward to the episodes that engendered these comments.
- Joy Morris, Norfolk, VA

I really like this website, you really seem like someone that is neutral on all subjects until you independently investigate and find the best or most resonable conclusion for yourself. Also challenging both sides of the story equally without bias. Excellent!!
- Simon Clotworthy, New Zealand

Thank you for being a voice for rationality not just when taking the strange to task, but also when confronting attitudes likely held by many in the skeptic community. Skeptoid is a gem, and I look forward to each new episode.
- Matthew Armstrong, Santa Cruz, California

Maybe there is a conspiracy to keep the world dumb. The world seems to be full of pseudo science. Seemingly intelligent people believe all sorts of rubbish and are willing to pay well for it. Crystal healing power, homeopathy, spirits, etc etc. I am so glad to find there are a lot of other logical thinkers in the world.
- Gerry, Brisbane

You're the man, you're the man, you're the man!!
- Devin, Winnipeg MB

I just wanted to say that I have been listening to your podcast since about episode 20 and have been addict to your hilarious but educational weekly 10 minute rants ever since. I have learned a lot in the past 2 years and often find I say to myself "think critically" whenever I hear a new claim. You have turned me onto a life of critical thinking and skepticism. Thank you very much!
- Andrew Erickson, Boulder, CO

I have been listening to your podcasts for at least 2 years now. I have heard all of them more than once. With out a doubt the best thing you do for a skeptic is make his or her life easy. We don't need to research subjects or memorise lenthy dialects about subjects of no interest just to debunk something that ticks us off. You my friend do that for us. My iPod is full of your podcasts except for some USA interest only ones. So I just stick it in their ear and say "argue after you listen to this". Thanks Brian. Love your work and as soon as I fix my credit card I will buy a book.
- Stewart McMillan, Australia

Thanks a bunch Brian for doing this podcast. I am suprised at how much I have learned, and how much I thought I knew. I shared this podcast with my boyfriend and he loved it and spread it to his friends. Thanks again, and keep up the good work.
- Rebeca, Cairns, AUS

Finally, I find someone in the publishing world who makes a whole lot of sense. You've been saying exactly what I've been thinking. Thanks for being here man. Keep on going.
- Christopher Brown, Bethel, CT

I just discovered you thanks to 365 days of astronomy and you're a breath of very fresh air. I just donated $25 to you and will continue to do so from time to time when I can.
- joan lloyd, new york

Love you analysis and your view. Gives me hope about humanity.
- Stephen Propatier, Providence RI

Great job, thank you and keep it up ( wish you could come to the uk some time and give a presentation).
- andrew rose, liverpool, england

I'm a relative newcomer to your podcasts (new-ish to my ipod too!) and have been enjoying them. The two part series on logical fallacies was excellent. I've had fun these last few days recognising red herrings, ad hominems, non-sequiturs and fallacies of the consequent, amongst other such logical fallacies used in arguments. I previously knew intuitively they were fallacious and my naturally skeptical and logical mind still works that way but I had never had the type and nature of them defined so neatly. I found that categorising them in my mind has armed me with more powerful means of responding, and helps to avoid falling into the same traps myself. Nice work, now I have a backlog of podcasts to catch up on.
- Alex Simmons, Sydney, Australia

I just wanted to say, Skeptoid is by far my favorite podcast. Please keep up the good work, and I'll try to do my part by telling people about it. Thank you for the clear-headed reasoning.
- Bud Sidener, Kansas

Hello Brian. I find your podcasts to be literate, thoughtful, even-handed where appropriate and, above all, skeptical. I know it takes a lot of effort to put together your weekly podcast and I applaud the result.
- Jeremiah Sutherland, Victoria, BC, Canuckistan

I love your podcast. Could you do two shows a week? The ulitimate encouragement in this stupid world is to hear someone put facts and logic together so soundly.
- Birnie Hotchkiss, Lloydminster SK CANADA

Thank you for the great podcast. It is impossible for a busy college student to learn about all these topics and keep their grades up. It is because of people like you that inspired me to go into medicine to help people with evidence-based methods and educate them on useful treatments. Thank you.
- David Maggi, Minneapolis, MN, USA

I've become extremely spoiled by the internet. So many things I love and enjoy on literally a daily basis are completely free! It used to be that if I wanted to watch/listen a TV or radio program, I had to suffer through commercials, if I wanted to read an article out of Time magazine, I had to subscribe, and so on. Now it's all online for pretty much free, and sadly it spells the end for some of the organizations that have been forced to push their content out for nothing online to compete with others. Podcasts are one of those things I love so much and get for virtually free. Today I started supporting your podcast. Yes, I'm paying for something I can get for free. But I really don't want to see it go away. So thanks, and keep it up.
- Shane Peden, Cartersville, GA

You're doing the public a great service. I relish your podcasts and Here be Dragons. Keep up the good work.
- Michael Oren, Bend, OR

I love what you're doing! Keep up the good work!
- Fredrik Julihn, Sweden

Brian, I just discovered your 'show' and absolutely love what you are doing. I have been spreading the link to your site like cow dung (organically, right?). I love the format of your podcasts and the fact that you provide the transcript. My iPod is full of clear headed thinking. Great while sipping coffee. My favorite episodes are the organic food, free range chickens, homeopathy and false argument techniques. I also appreciate the podcasts on religion. Being an atheist behind the Orange curtain can be frustrating sometimes. Don't stop!
- Peter Whyte, San Juan Cap, CA

Just discovered your podcast after a recent reference on Skepticality. I love it! Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into each episode. After listening to one episode, I knew I needed to start from #1. I'm half way through. Some episodes have stung a bit as remaining tidbits of my non-spkeptic past are washed away. I equate that to the sting of anticeptic or the burn of Listerine... a sign that its working! Thank you so much. I hope I have the chance to meet you at one of your local appearances.
- Mike Meraz, Ventura, CA

Simply perfect. Much appreciated!
- Dimitri, London

I just want to say love your podcasts. Even as a young child I was a skeptical person. I remember on several occasions my friends discussing things such as the "curse" of King Tut or the Bermuda Triangle. At the time I could not provide the actual natural explanation but I was positive there had to be one. I just want to do a face palm every time when someone doesn't know an explanation and immediately jumps to the supernatural. Anyway, I'm so glad there are people like you and James Randi to explain there are rational, logical, and natural explanation for phenomenon. Keep up the great work!
- Mike Fuller, Indianapolis

Last night I was watching tv... and a show on the History Channel cought my attention... it was about December 21st 2012. I have never heard about it in my life... the Hopis, the Mayans, the Bible coding, the Jewish 7,000 years, etc. All, very scary, so of course today I googled it to find out the details and start planning!! and what a great surprise to find your informative site. Thank you!!
- Ana, New York City

Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your podcast. There seem to be no sacred cows in your world, and I appreciate the work you do.
- Shane P. Brady, Kearney, MO

With all the horrible junk that's so readily available on the nets, it's not very often that you actually run across something worthwhile. Well, this is one of the most worthwhile uses of the Internet I have ever had the pleasure to encounter. I enjoy your podcast immensely. Your sense of humour and wit, along with your rational reasoning and entertaining subjects, make for a supremely enjoyable show! Best wishes, with hope of many more future episodes to enjoy.
- Andy, Gothenburg, Sweden

Your articles are the perfect length to read. You get the point across but it also saves you time so you can read more. It's pretty amazing that all skeptics have exactly the same views, ya know, the truth. Keep it up!
- Jesse, NJ

Great job Brian. I especially enjoyed "Screwed". This is a brilliant production. I look forward for each new podcast and play if for my teens in the car on the way to school to show how critical thinking works and how they can use it.
- John Tremblay, Exeter NH

I've been listening to skeptoid for a while now, and I find I greatly enjoy it. It's a result of this excellent work that I chosen to donate. Worth putting my money where my mouth is:) I have to admit, though, I've never enjoyed the taste of money....
- Paul Anderson, Sarnia, Ontario, Canada

A friend recommended the Skeptoid podcast to me and I have listened to the first 36 episodes. I have to admit that around episode 26, I began to think that someone was having me on; that it was all a well-executed prank. Biodynamic vineyard management? Chemtrails? Pond Magnets? My first reaction was that there cannot possibly be people who actually believe these stories. Then I remembered - humans can be convinced of anything if it answers something they want and/or need to be answered, especially if it doesn't challenge their current way of thinking. Personally, I am most grateful for your articulate, rational discussions of spirituality. As a recovering-Catholic-born-again-atheist, the most common way to describe me (in this part of the country) is godless whore. I became a loyal fan of the podcast by the end of episode two, which is the rational examination of religion as the only useful moral center. I have even played the episode for my spiritually like minded daughter who was actually accused of being a devil worshiper when she "came out" at school as a non-believer. So, you are in the company of Margaret Atwood, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Harper Lee, and Martin Luther King, Jr. has required reading for her. I look forward to catching up on the rest of the episodes and having one more brilliant, rational, and exquisitely articulate brain in my life.
- Laurie K. Seifert, Fargo, North Dakota

Just a quick note of appreciation. I enjoy the podcast very much! Thank you for your hard work!
- Rene J Saldana, Chicago, IL

Love your show. It has filled many hours with thoughtful discussion and humor.
- Peter Mancini, Nashville, TN

I love your show because it's short and yet I feel like I've listened to an hour-long episode because of all the to-the-point info. Thanks!
- Zec, Colorado

I'm a science teacher in the St. Louis area. I have been listening to your podcasts for a couple months now, starting from episode 1. I'm up to #108. By and large, I have found them very enjoyable and thought provoking. One of the courses I teach is Honors Biology. I've always been an evolution enthusiast and have never shied away from teaching it. Over the last two days of class, I played the 'How to Argue With a Creationist' podcast as I displayed the text for the students to follow along with. We stopped at various points for discussion. It was cool. Most of the students were really interested and engaged. I'm even thinking of starting up some sort of skeptics club for next year. So thanks for the podcasts. They are a great form of brain exercise / rational thought training and have proved useful in my classroom.
- Chuck Collis, St. Louis, MO

I have been an avid listener of Skeptoid for some time. I wanted to take a moment out of my day to thank you for the work you are doing. You are a bastion of reason, fairness and integrity. You are tireless in "fighting the good fight" and an inspiration to many. I know you take your work seriously. Please never get discouraged. I worry that you are too often inundated by kooks that completely misunderstand your motivations. Kooks have a way of being much more vocal than the rest of us that appreciate you. It truly frightens me that seemingly otherwise intelligent people so carelessly abandon the scientific method on a whim. If we as a species have a future it will be in no small part because of the efforts of you and others to educate the layman. I am not a wealthy person but want to donate. I will follow that thread and do so.
- Christian Heaford, Fargo, ND

Your show is like a ocean breeze to those of us trying to survive the enervating flood of popular culture baloney.
- Thomas Ehret, Humboldt County

I adore this show, I have only been listening for a few scant weeks but I have plowed through almost 50 episodes so far. One of which while sitting behind a man on the train reading literature about different Detox products. I have one comment regarding Alternative therapy and the like. When you hear anyone talk about these things they always use the word Believe. When discussing sciences people say theory or hypothesis, or idea. It is no wonder you can't reason with them. Belief like religion requires no proof just the fact that you believe.
- Corey V, Oceanport, NJ

I jst wish to say how much this podcast has improved and changed my way of thinking. When growing up I heard of many myths and wonders. I thought that there was always something going on that people were just missing on some level. Things like Roswell and Bigfoot, ghost and spirits and the like. I just assumed that these things had to be real to some degree. That they had to be founded somewhere. I've read convincing biased articles and books and felt like I was getting in on some secret knowledge. This was all when I was a child. Now still only in my mid-twenties I've gotten caught up in all the nooks of adult life and just retained the memory that I believed these things. Still thirsty for knowledge and truth, I find this podcast refreshing to the highest degree. Having just discovered it I've already covered the first hundred shows in my spare time. I thank you with upmost sincerety.
- Christopher, Oklahoma

I've been meaning to become a financial supporter of Skeptoid for a while. The "Screwed" episode was the best reminder I could receive to remember to do this: OUTSTANDING work. Bravo.
- Tom B., St. Paul, MN

Thank you for promoting critical thinking.
- Martin, Baton Rouge, LA

Thank you, as a new "skeptic" your podcast is something I look foward to every week. A little island of reason in a increasing unreasonable world. Keep up the good work
- Ronald Hughston, Mason City Iowa USA

I just want to thank you for your approach to rational thought, especially in the realm of debating Creationism. As a conservative fundamentalist Christian who is currently attending the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (not to mention the rare old-earth creationist/fundamentalist, or so it seems at times), it is refreshing to see someone on the internet who is willing to take on fundamentalism in a reasonable and level-headed manner instead of the "atheist rage" types of comments one usually comes across. Also, I'm a youth minister and want to encourage critical thinking skills in my students, and I will be recommending that they listen to your podcast and read the website.
- Casey, Louisville, Ky

I've listened to every episode at least once each. The topics are always interesting, even though some of them don't grab me at first. Love the humorous and thorough presentation.
- Linda Tubnor, Victoria, Australia

Skeptoid is a fantastic weekly bite-size podcast, with a great balance between explaining and discussing general concepts of science and skeptical thinking, and examining the truth behind specific subjects and claims. If you want some background info to give you a head-start on knowing what to think about any phenomena about which grandiose claims are made - from aliens to apocalypses, terrorists to toxins, homeopathy to hadrons - or want to improve your understanding of how to look at such claims yourself, to figure out the truth when something seems amiss, then this is an excellent way to spend ten minutes each week.
- James Norriss, Bromley, UK

I love Skeptoid! I've been listening to the podcasts for quite sometime now and it's just as good if not better than when I started listening. :) I love the critical thinking that's used to debunk myths.
- Alicia, Hagerstown, MD

I subscribe and regularly listen to over 30 different podcasts. Skeptoid is one of my favorites. Brian Dunning's research is impeccable, and his delivery is fantastic. Rather than making serious skepticism seem daunting, Dunning's style makes you feel like you're listening to a good friend. It's the only skeptical podcast I can get my 13 year old to listen to! Keep up the great work!
- Amber Q. Brown, Southern California

I love Skeptoid! You do a great job debunking many common misconceptions and urban legends!
- Eric Donaldson, Chapel Hill, NC

Skeptoid is the end result of quality research and writing skills. Brian Dunning provides a service that many people simply don't have the ability to do themselves. Of those that have the ability, many of those don't see the need. I agree with Dunning's unspoken premise: there *is* a need for critical thinking, and there is *not* enough of it in our society. Indeed, people are harmed and killed by a lack of critical thinking skills. Dunning is a voice of reason in a credulous pop culture. We need more people like this.
- Andy Kaiser, Grand Rapids, MI

Wednesday evening is always one of my favourite times of the week, for when I get home I can download a fresh Skeptoid episode and enjoy.
- Marcus, Munich

You have one of the best podcasts out there today.
- Gustaf Källstrand, Sweden

I enjoy Skeptoid because it reminds me how much silliness is out there. This is always amusing, sometimes frightening.
- Rick Sheppe, Vermont

Fantastic podcast! Perfect blend of fact, humor and ridicule.
- Jon Claflin, Bradford, MA

Skeptoid is a perfect blend of science, scepticism, critical thinking and wit - if that isn't food for the brain, then I don't know what is.
- Stuart Dedrick, Freiburg, Germany

I do enjoy Skeptoid. It was second podcast I've ever tried and it stayed with me ever since. Thought inducing, funny with good stories. Keep up good work, Brian!
- Emil Oppeln-Bronikowski, Łódź, Poland, EU

I really love your show. It's entertaining, informative and I always come away from an episode feeling like I have learned a great deal in a short amount of time. Thank you so much!
- Linda Kimmelman, Newark, Delaware

Skeptoid delivers excellent and thought provoking podcasts!
- Terje Thorswold, Norway

The show is amazing and very appreciated.
- Sam, San Luis Obispo, Ca

Great show.
- Thomas Widmer, Switzerland

Skeptoid rocks! Well-researched, well produced, entertaining, and informative. Keep up the good work!
- Shawn Yasutake, Colorado

Skeptoid caught my ear as soon as I heard the first episode. It has actually spurred me to subscribe to 4 other skeptic podcasts, starting me down the rabbit hole of critical thinking, and ultimately completely changing the way I thought about the universe.
- Dave Noel, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Brian, Skeptoid is great. I have listened to every episode. I will say it was the 3rd podcast I got into, after Penn Jillette's old talk show, and then SGU. The short format really keeps it focused. I have used what I have learned from it a number of times, and I used 'Here Be Dragons' to get some discussions going with my teenage kids, since my mom-in-law is big into woo and such - she is a reiki practitioner, and makes them watch psychic shows when they visit her. Anyway, definitely keep up the good work.
- Noel Henderson, Sealy, TX

I look forward to each episode, and they never fail to be informative, and to point me to new avenues of discovery. Thanks.
- Emilio J. D'Alise, Monument, CO

Skeptoid was the catalyst that evoked my interest in critical thinking and analysis of the world around me. I've thoroughly enjoyed every one of the 149 eps to date.
- Ashley Keeping, Adelaide, South Australia

Skeptoid makes me smarter than my co-workers. :D
- Mike, Elk Grove, CA

I love Skeptoid! I've listened to every episode multiple times.
- Dave Baraloto, Baltimore

Informative and entertaining all at the same time, that is Skeptoid. I haven't missed a single episode and don't ever plan to. Without a doubt, one of the crown jewels in my subscription list of skeptical & science themed podcasts. Keep up the great & valuable work Brian!
- Michael Kasun, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

My favourite podcast of all time, perfect for listening to while knitting or driving! I subject my teenagers to it regularly too. Thanks Brian!!
- Denise Sutherland, Canberra, Australia

I very much enjoy your Skeptoid podcast and I'm not afraid to admit it. Even today I was using some of your information and quotes to defend against ignorance regarding *real* chiropractic and homeopathic medicine. Although I thought I'd let you know that in South Africa, homeopathic medicine is not just legitimate, but requires a full 6 years in University, the same as becoming a *real* doctor. So it is MUCH more respected there and supposedly, a bit more realistic, legitimate and practical as well.
- Kevin Nagel, Odessa, Ukraine (from Hacienda Heights, CA)

Skeptoid is a real gem. Funny as all-get-out.
- Brad Ingle, Dallas

I love Skeptoid. New episodes are the highlight of my week. Interesting topics and Brian's occasional dry humor entertains me every time.
- Jason Meister, Mesa, AZ

Dunning is stunning. Plus he's really smart.
- Laurie Tarr, Floyds Knobs, IN

Brian Dunnings podcast "Skeptoid" is one of the best podcasts available. It's inventive and entertaining. It doesn't hurt that he's a hottie either.
- Candice Pittman, Eureka, Ca.

I love Skeptoid and look forward to each new episode. I especially appreciate the many education outreach services Brian offers such as the addressing of student questions in select episodes and the free right to share episodes of Skeptoid and of his movie, 'Here Be Dragons', for educational purposes. Thanks for all your hard work, Brian. Way to cast some light into a world of darkness!
- Shawn Crowell, London, Ontario

This is one of my favorite podcasts. The only thing I could wish for is longer episodes more often. It is so full of great information on a wide variety of subjects.
- Josh G, Utah

If Brian had the means to do a 30 or 60 minute show every week, well... those would be the best 30 or 60 min of my week. I think some of it has to do with his unprecedented thoroughness in his research. I don't think I've heard any other skeptic put as much effort into such a short show. Brian, you're the man.
- Joshua Broedel, Palm City, FLA

Have been a listener since day one. An excellent antidote to all the woo in the world.
- hsj, Reykjavik, Iceland

Skeptoid is one of the places that has given me the tools and the background necessary to keep my feet planted firmly on reality. Looking back at my past, I smile sadly at the imagination and mystery I left behind, but look ahead proudly to the new mysteries and wonders that I've unlocked without requiring any magical thinking. Thanks Brian!
- David Schwarz, Puerto Rico

My family enjoys listening to your podcasts. Thanks for you hard work. It's very much appreciated!
- Steve Nielsen, Oswego illinois

Skeptoid is an excellent podcast treating extraordinary claims with a demand for extraordinary evidence. Brian Dunning models excellence in critical thinking while remaining skeptical of the human beings making the claims that he examines. I can't do without this podcast.
- John Michael Strubhart, Corpus Christi, TX

Every one of my family road trips starts with downloading the latest episodes of Skeptoid.
- Kathy Ryan, Washington DC

Though Skeptoid has never promised to cure baldness, burn fat, improve my boner, or clean stains - it has been thoroughly informative and more useful than any Bible I have ever read.
- Maurice, Phoenix, AZ

Brian Dunning is my new hero. I'm so greatful that we have people like him on this planet. Skeptoid is not only an amazing podcast, but also an eye opening tool that teaches how to think about, and view, our universe and ourselves. I am very thankful for Brian's hard work in researching his material. I'm telling everyone to listen to Skeptoid.
- Rokas Zinkevičius, Saint Charles, IL

I love Skeptoid and am happy to support it with my $4 per month.
- Bob Wiscott, Ohio

Skeptoid is awesome.
- Jason, Vancouver

Thank you Brian. Your podcast has enriched my life.
- Jerry, Chicago

Skeptoid is extremely educational, and I enjoy learning and honing my critical thinking and logic skills while listening to a humorous yet useful podcast. I've learned a lot, and am beginning to feel like I could hold my own in an argument against non-skeptics; further, I've used several podcasts in my argument course.
- Sabrina, Greensboro, NC

Skeptoid is a quality podcast. It's funny, educational, well researched and well written. It's a weekly treat for me.
- Paul, New York

I think the show is great. Brian Dunning does a good job of presenting ideas in a way that are accessible, fun, and useful for people new to critical thinking, but presents a broad enough swath of information that there is always something interesting for us more "experienced" skeptics.
- Rich Hammett, Doraville, GA

I discovered Skeptoid last fall, and listened to the first 120 episodes over a three week period, mostly while off work after Hurricane Ike. I frequently link your transcripts to friends in reference to discussions we have at work. My two favorites at the analysis of SUVs and the Giant Plastic Island.
- Naomi, Houston TX

Hell yeah, I love this show and this guy!! Keep up the good work, Brian.
- Brian Hart, Los Angeles, Sol III

Brian, you constantly make one of the brightest snappiest and most succinct, topical, critical-thought, shows. All who appreciate the potential for brevity (or pith) in reason must surely admire it. I have never been disappointed by our weekly meeting. But the math test at the bottom of this form is daunting to the feeble minded.
- Christopher Gallaga, Hong Kong

I love it.
- Wanda, memphis, tn

Short, sweet, smart, scientific. My favourite podcast!
- Emma, Montreal

Love the show! Ran across it by accident on iTunes.
- Paul Hawkins, New Orleans, LA

Skeptoid is ultimate in pop culture mythbusting and utter crap shilled by random sources.
- John Higgins, Baltimore

I love the show. Wish I had more time to tell you why. Too many reasons to enumerate at this time.
- Erin, Baltimore

Skeptoid is great. In my college, my Critical Thinking class taught us all about logical fallacies, but Skeptoid gives a lot of examples of how to identify them and debunk pseudo-science, quack medical cures, etc. I was already pretty good at spotting nonsense, but was never sure how to explain to others how I knew it was false. In a world too full of cons, suckers, and crazies, its nice to know there's an oasis of SENSE at Skeptoid.com. I listen to it on my iPod at work, while I study, and in the car. It should be broadcast in every classroom, and maybe someday the world will be free of all the flim-flam.
- Penelope Chan, Martinez, Ca

You're fantastic, keep up the good work. Also, tweet more!
- Igor Zhukovsky, Greenwich, CT

Love your podcast, it really got me started listening to skeptical podcasting, now, I'm hooked, and I even got my 10-year old daughter hooked on your show. Keep up the good work.
- Robin Hayes, Alviso, CA

I enjoy listening to the Skeptoid podcast. the only drawback is I can't get any of my friends to listen to it, and they get tired of hearing me repeat the details of the latest fascinating edition. I will continue to listen, however, as I find it informative and entertaining. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him think.
- Bruce McMath, Seattle

I very much enjoy Skeptoid. I often play it for my wife & kids (18 & 14) and they also think it is good. The format is perfect... 15 or so minutes of excellent skepticism. I love to hear all this crap get debunked.
- Jeff Koeppen, Monticello, MN

This is a must have podcast for my iPhone! I've been a Skeptoid fan now for well over a year and appreciate all of Mr. Dunning's hard work! Excellent job.
- Shawn G., Syracuse, NY

I love Skeptoid! Listen ervery night. Catching up on the old shows. A breath of fresh air down here in the South!
- Rob Ford, Charlotte, NC

First and foremost, Skeptoid is entertaining! But more than that, it is an intelligent, snarky, 10 minute slap in the face of all that would rather you rely on lazy thinking and logical fallacies!
- Augustine Dunn, Irvine, California

Skeptoid is one of my favorite netcasts. I listen every week. One of my favorite things about Skeptoid is the way it cuts through the crap and gets to the point in a very approachable and down to earth way. Skeptoid is a must listen for anyone who wants or needs the straight goods.
- Vince Montgomery, Coquitlam BC

I have just started listening to your podcasts and I have found them all to be (without exception) exceptional! Keep up the great work.
- Andrew Skegg, Hobart, Tasmania

I love Skeptoid and it was great to see you at TAM last year. Hope to see you again!
- Dorathea Harlowe, Fox River Grove, Illinois

Skeptoid is the best podcast in the world! Seriously
- Ross Romer, Centreville, VA

I am always looking forwards to the next podcast update. I learn something every time. Everybody in America needs to be listening to this.
- Timothy Condon, Denver, CO

Skeptoid is a fantastic resource for both skeptics and believers alike: the former to increase their knowledge about various "pop phenomena" and the latter to challenge their preconceived notions and get themselves thinking about what they actually believe in. Brian does a great job at being as meticulous as possible with his research, and leaves no vital stone unturned, and quite a few non-vital ones as well, in a good way, of course. Simply put, Skeptoid is one of the best podcasts out there, skeptical or otherwise, and is well-worth a listen by anyone, whoever you are.
- Jack Scanlan, Melbourne, Australia

I'm a huge Skeptoid fan! Kudos to Brian!
- Sara Rosinsky, Lakeland, FL

Skeptoid is one of my favorite podcasts. It's length is a double-edged sword, being short enough that I can digest it quickly or listen to it several times, but it always leaves me anxious for the next episode. Brian Dunning makes what appear to me to be honest efforts to inquire about the various topics he covers and he is masterful at showing how skeptical inquiry should proceed. He rarely, if ever, allows a logical fallacy to slip into his reasoning, and even when debunking, makes sure to keep his criticisms reined in to a level supported by the evidence (or lack thereof). For anyone interested in skepticism and well-reasoned investigation of paranormal or outlandish claims, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this podcast.
- Josh Meyer, Baton Rouge, LA

I thoroughly enjoy Skeptoid and appreciate the time you put in to creating it. I like the fact that you address some common skeptical topics, such as vitamin water and homeopathy and more obscure things, such as crystal skulls and the Coral Castle. Thanks again for all your work.
- Michele, Cleveland, OH

Mr. Dunning does good work.
- Travis Combs, Vernal UT

I love listening to Skeptoid it’s a great way to get a dose of skepticism in a neat little package. Its interesting and a good way to, start people down the path to critical thinking. Thanks for all the hard work you do!
- Nicole, Bilous

I am a critical thinker and a skeptic. While I would love to be able to critically examine all the claims made in the world, the reality is that I don't have time. Skeptoid is the best way for me to get critical analysis of pop phenomena without having to delve deep into the details myself! It's my short and sweet weekly dose of skepticism.
- Roy Natian, Glendale, CA

I love Skeptoid and have been listening for quite a while. I haven't found an episode yet that didn't interest me in one way or another. Keep up the awesome work, reaching the public with rational thought!
- Chelsea Epperson, Philadelphia, PA

Skeptoid, to me, has been a fantastic mix of primers on all sorts of genuinely important topics across the board, and how to look at them critically. The episodes are short enough to not dredge on long enough to lose interest, but not too short as to leave out pertinent details. And it goes into enough depth that even on subjects in which I thought I was well-versed there's still something new to learn. They're great for brushing up on my arguments, and even better for non-confrontational introductions for non-skeptical friends. The only thing that would make Skeptoid any better is if Brian managed to put out exactly as many episodes as it took to fill my varying daily commutes over the course of each week.
- Jarrett Kaufman, Canyon Country, CA

Skeptoid is one of the more concise podcasts available for skeptics. Rather than a rambling discussion. My favorite - and I have my own skeptic podcast. www.skepticdoc.com
- Terry Simpson, Phoenix Arizona

I love Skeptoid! It's one of the high points of my week.
- Amy Hurley, Guthrie, Oklahoma

I've enjoyed Skeptoid for years! Thanks, Brian!
- Danforth, Los Angeles, CA

Absolutely love the podcast and it always gives me something new to think about.
- Caermon Durgae, Greensboro, NC

I love your podcast! I'm a hopeless skeptic myself, but listening to your podcast made me realize that I accepted certain popular claims without thinking about them skeptically. Keep up the good work!
- Sonja Zujo, Berkeley

Mr. Dunning, I am a soldier currently serving in Iraq and I just wanted to say how much I love your podcast. We don't get regular access to the internet so I take any opportunity I can to snag as many episodes as possible when I can. Sitting in an uncomfortable, hot, stuffy tank all night watching for IED emplacers we will sometimes hook our iPods up to the internal coms to pass the time. We're not supposed to but what can you do? Anyway, I had mine on random and your podcast came up. Not wanting my skeptism to be known amongst my unit, I tried to skip ahead but I dropped the iPod into the bowels of the tank where I had little hope of reaching it. Strangely the other crew members loved it. We listened to a few more episodes when I finally fished my iPod out of the gun turret. From the 24 M1A2 Tank crew from 2nd platoon, Delta Company, 2nd of the 5th Cav, thanks for making that long boring night a little more enjoyable.
- Paul K. Brickey, Sadr City, Iraq

Thank you Brian for a very interesting podcast. I'm addicted. Not so much by your skepticism of "new age" treatments and the paranormal per se, but rather your clear and concise arguments and critical thinking. Please keep up the great work.
- Angus, Adelaide, South Australia

I only recently discovered your program but I am already a huge fan of it. I have shared it with my wife and her family and it has already become a common topic of discussion amongst us. Keep up the great work.
- Brad Andrews, Panama City Fl

My 12 year old sister had to write an essay and she chose the Roswell incident. After explaining to me that the government was hiding a crashed ship and aliens, I suggested she check out your episode about Roswell. I told her to write what she really felt and not to be influenced by my direction. Well, she allowed me to review her essay and was pleased that she had turned a critical eye on the whole affair. Thank you Brian, for all you do and for potentially saving a young mind from falling into the abyss of woo.
- Andre Papillon, Palm Coast, FL

It is a lonely world out there for people who do not run their thinking on the “memes” of popular culture. Even those who regard themselves as rabble rousers are conforming to the popular shrink-wrapped standards for “alternatives”, spewing out the mindless drivel appropriate to their particular rebel class. Discovering the Skeptical community was at the very least a tremendous relieve for me, almost a spiritual experience. Thanks for the hard work guys; you and Rock and Roll preserve my sanity, and I am only saying this partly tongue in cheek!
- Hans Visser, Pretoria, South Africa

I am a big fan and make my friends put on the headphones and listen to your podcasts. At least they used to be my friends! Anyhow, I like them...
- John Biard, Erie Co

You are truly a leader in the fight for reason. I thank you a million times for all the work you do. I hope to help the world as much as you have.
- Jay, Toronto Canada

Just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work you do. I am a biology teacher and I teach skepticism along with the biology curriculum. I use a lot of material from skeptoid. Again, thanks.
- Michael Tellez, Rosemead, California

It is fantastic to see a true skeptic out in world writing good literature and producing effective, and fair material. It is far too easy to fail into the trap of becoming a loony-leftist or raging-righty when the truth is not fastened to a political, ethical, moral or spiritual spectrum. It is fantastic to see someone out there doing that. Keep up the good work!
- Toby, Australia

I simply wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much I appreciate all of your hard work. I look forward to each and every episode. I truly appreciated all of the hard work/research that I am sure much go into every episode. Thanks so much for the great podcast, and please keep up the good work!
- Ryan Iwasiw, Winnipeg, Canada

Just wanted to say keep up the excellent work you are doing. Your podcast is a much-needed voice amid the ill-informed cacophony that seems to surround us.
- Alan Chambers, Cambridge, England

Skeptoid is a valuable public service. I would like content like this (critical thinking) to be a required part of every school course from K onward.
- Z Hespelt, Lakewood, OH

I just recently started listening to your podcasts and find them to be both entertaining and eye opening. The length of your show is ideal to consume with a cup of coffee on my breaks at work, this combination is a perfect "detox treatment" to purge my head of the idiocy that is "dimming my aura" nudge nudge wink wink. Thanks.
- Anthony Melton, Gresham OR

I just wanted to say thank you.
- David Dennis, Winston Salem, NC

I have just recently discovered your podcast and wanted to tell you how happy I am to hear you using simple everyday language to explain the pseudoscience and quackery out there. Keep up the good work!
- Alex Murdoch, Fredericton, NB CANADA

Thank you. I can't track it, but somewhere between my ignorance as a teenager, to my hesitancy as a parent, did I become susceptible to the idiocies of the modern culture. My lack of knowledge about anything to deal with 2012, made me easy prey. I was frozen in fear and paranoia, as we are expecting another child in August. I went to many other sites, and they were very good at debunking the theories based on fact and known science. But, I was still missing that vital component of what 'is' gonna happen in 2012. That's when my friend told me about Skeptoid. After hearing Brian's podcast, and comparing to the data I had already absorbed, I have been able to stop shaking in fear and uncertainty. Actually, I'm a tad pissed off at the jerks who are spreading lies around the web for profit. I believe I read there are over 91,000 entries at Amazon.com for 2012 books and products. My thanks to Brian. From the peace of my soul, and the smiles of my childrens faces, thank him for the good fight and bringing truth to the internet.
- Palmer, San Francisco. CA

I just wanted to tell you that the Skeptoid podcasts are terrific. Not only are they entertaining, but they excellent trenchant analyses of commonly misunderstood phenomenon. I especially like the critical unpacking of alternative health claims and products. Keep up the great work!
- Paul Benedetti, Hamilton Ontario

Thank you very much for what you are doing!
- Alex Naumov, Toronto, Canada

Just recently received an iPod as a gift from my son. Proceeded to fill it with programs I thought would be interesting to listen to while walking my dog. Down loaded well over 100 episodes of your program. Dog much healthier now - walks are a lot longer -sometimes 8 or 10 episodes long. My conclusion -iPods are good for dog's health. I'll send a message to Apple. Love your show - best line ever - "you should eat my used kleenex." Thanks for doing this.
- David Young, Tai Tam, Hong Kong

The podcast is absolutely fantastic in a sense that it acts as an outlet to reality. It feels good to realize that religious and "new age" b.s. gets cleaned up by someone. This is absolutely crucial for a healthy society. I recommend this podcast to absolutely all of my friends. Thank you! Keep up the amazing and so needed work!
- Alex, Toronto

I discovered your podcast by accident after watching Michael Shermer's TED-talk a couple of years ago, and since then, I've been hooked. I simply want to thank you, sincerely for helping me out! I am currently teaching English and psychology at an upper secondary school in Stockholm, Sweden, and am daily faced with students most eager (like teenagers tend to be) to discuss the most tremendous claims of everything from ghosts to organic food and their dead grandmother talking to them from beyond her grave. It has been hard sometimes not to sound patronizing when trying to refute these claims. Thank you, Brian, you and your podcast (which I frequently use in class, both En. and Ps.) have been most helpful!
- Mats Fredriksson, Stockholm, Sweden

Thank you so much for Skeptoid. I discovered it a few weeks ago and since then listen to 5-10 episodes on dogwalks in between NPR's science friday and skepticality. I am an anesthesiology resident and use skepticism daily in the operating room managing difficult patients with evidence based medicine. You are performing a great service to debunk the alternative and homeopathic medicine options that so drive me nuts! If there was evidence for these techniques they would not be alternative but mainstream! Keep up the good work. "What school's need is a moment of Science!" and Skeptoid of course.
- Andrew Lucic, Gainesville, FL

I wish the episodes were an hour long and 5 times a week. Thank you so much for your outstanding efforts.
- John Tapler, Albany, New York

Thanks for a great podcast. Stimulates my desire to do followup research on subject matters I enjoy debating about.
- Stephen Gohlke, Miami, FL

Just want to say how much I love the show. My kids love it so much that whenever we get in the car the first words are "Put on Skeptoid".
- Sean Harrison, Halifax, NS, Canada

I love the Skeptoid podcast! I have shirked my real responsibilities at work for hours on end just to keep listening to "just one more" episode of Skeptoid. As the resident office email hoax debunker (an easy enough task - just go to Snopes!), I find Skeptoid to be right up my alley. I'm spreading the Good Word of skepticism and critical analysis in my little corner of Georgia and pointing folks to your insightful and entertaining commentaries. Keep up the good work!
- Bennett R. Hipps, Columbus, GA

I like your web site and your podcasts. But, I have to admit, I am becoming skeptical of Skeptoid. Does that mean that you have succeeded?
- Miles Gore, Ansbach Germany

Just finished listening to every episode, guess I'll have to get used to one a week rather than 10 a day. I'm a behavior psychologist and lead a data based life. How refreshing to hear opinions based on fact rather than supposition. Keep up the good work!
- Gordon Wood, Rego Park, NY (Queens)

Thanks for your work on the colon cleansing products. I was seriously considering one, but your comments made more sense than anything I read.
- Jim Taylor, Dayton, OH

Hello Brian, I came across your podcast a couple of weeks ago, downloaded every episode and have embarked on a veritable skeptoid-athon! I have a Ph.D. in Pharmacology, and have been working as a behavioural scientist for 8 years. You'd think that someone like me would embody much of the "skeptoid" philosophy, wouldn't you? However, it seems that the terms "scientist" and "skeptic" are not always mutually exclusive from "sucker". So thank you for reminding me that I went to university to learn, to challenge and to seek the truth for myself. Your podcast is entertaining, insightful and thought-provoking. Cheers, Marie
- Marie Longo, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia

The Skeptoid podcast is wonderful! I look forward to it each week more than anything else on the web. I have turned my kids on to the archives as I can think of no better adjunct to the their formal education. Keep up the good work
- Joe Urbanski, Baltimore, MD

I just have to say how glad I am that I found Skeptoid on the iTunes podcast list. I had a listen to a couple of the other 'skeptic' style podcasts and yours is by far the most accessible and well-presented. It keeps me entertained on the long commute to and from work, and during my lunch break. It also helps me mount a defense against friends who believe in idiotic things like detox, reflexology, and various paranormal phenomena (although the Amityville Horror podcast was a little too scary for me, even after your thorough debunking of that urban legend!) Thank you for creating these podcasts Brian, and please don't stop!!
- Nicole Doughty, Sydney, NSW, Australia

I wanted to say how much I appreciate your podcast. I am a logical person, but I grew up with a lot of pseudoscience and mysticism. As a child I was always told I did not understand, when in fact, I understood perfectly. It was a load of rubbish. This background did not help me, as I began to work for someone who was a close follower and believer of every guest on Coast to Coast AM. I have to say, the last 10 years have found me awaiting the earth's doom by a half dozen ways. While I do find some guests to be credible, or at least reasonable, it has taken me a while to realize that most of them are either crazy, trying to make money by fooling the masses or just trying to entertain. I am a huge fan of James Randy, however, your site and show is the only place someone can find concise up to date information to reverse the brainwashing effects of some of Coast's guests. I do not hold Coast or it's staff at fault, but I have to say the public is easily fooled. Keep up the good work.
- James, Seattle

A shining light in an ignorant world. Its so soothing to listen to your podcasts, not because I have already decided to believe what you say but because I know you follow strict scientific method and conclude on sound logical basis, and that I don't even have to believe a word you say, you just present your research for free, for the benefit of everyone. Thanks for all your work Brian!
- Jason Kirwan, Liverpool, UK

Thank you for your hard work and dedication. Skeptoid is by far my favorite podcast to listen to- I listen to it in the car on long drives and I love it. Your research has taught me so much since I began listening. You also opened my eyes to so many things I would have otherwise simply taken at face value. I now try to be skeptical myself whenever possible. Keep up the great work.
- Anna, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

It took me seventy four years to learn: No one wants to hear the facts about anything.They want reinforcement for what they believe already.
- Francis M. Cordell, Sr., South Pittsburg, TN

Just a note to let you know that as a relatively new skeptic, critical thinker, secular humanist et al that I am thoroughly enjoying your presentations. Keep up the good work, and like my old Southern tennis coach used to say: "Give 'em hell!"
- Charles V. Watson, Atascadero, California

Thank you for providing listeners and readers world-wide with a high-quality, engaging, and at times quirky (in a good way) look at ourselves and the diverse ways we attempt to quantify and qualify what is happening in our world. I discovered the Skeptoid podcasts a few months ago and have shared them with dozens of other folks, including family, friends, students and fellow faculty members. I appreciate greatly the reasoned, rational, and clear-headed approach you bring to each subject or inquiry. You provide a true public service and template for a "way of thinking" that is vital to a healthy community--especially in a world in which many otherwise informed citizens still operate from points-of-view deeply mired in ideology.
- Dan Bright, Sarasota, FL

I love Skeptoid. I work in the medical industry, and it saddens me greatly just how many people visit quacks, most often chiropractors, instead of real doctors. 80% of the people I deal with see them for "preventative treatment" or "general wellness". I wish I could share this podcast with all those people. Keep up the great work!
- Holly Peacock, Indianapolis, IN

Just wanted to say how savvy your podcast is. I wish you could clone yourself so I could listen to two Skeptoid podcasts a week. Thanks, and keep up the good work!
- Nick Macholl, Chicago, IL

I am a regular listener and I just wanted to express me appreciation at your dogged determination to not suffer fools lightly. Keep fighting the good fight, your work is very much appreciated.
- Matty C, Oxford, England

I stumbled upon your pod cast this summer as a result of injuring my back. I started out with a few episodes on my iPod and then I was hooked. I downloaded the rest of them and, since I was immobilized for more than a week I more or less chain-listened to Skeptoid. The episodes are short and condensed and make perfect bedtime stories. Your voice and American English dialect is very articulate and easy to follow for a non native tounge. It is obvious that you have put lots of effort and research into each episode, which I really appreciate. The huge diversity between episodes is also appreciated.
- Anders, Sweden

Skeptoid is a wonderful resource! I love your format: short, tight, and single-topic. I know I can easily find any episodes that deal with a particular topic, and I won't have to hunt through a lot of rambling chatter or unrelated topics in the podcast to get to the information I want. I especially appreciate the transcripts on your site - they make it easy to quote you accurately if I need to email someone a little dose of common sense. My only complaint is that, after discovering Skeptoid a couple of weeks ago, I've burned through all the episodes and now have to wait for you to publish new ones. Keep on skepticating!
- Hilary Mark Nelson, West Lafayette, IN

I've just signed up to monetarily support your cause. This is big as I am a student supported by loans and modest part-time employment. In this day with no functional Colosseum it is hard to define heroes in our society; I would count you among one of mine- you supply endless points I can use to support my endless struggle to save my mother from homeopathic medicine.
- Jeremy de Jong, Halifax,NS

Hi Brian-- A quick note to tell you how very much I like your podcast and the topics you pick. My niece, who recently picked up a diploma from Dartmouth, turned me on to Skeptoid. Sometimes she and I sit around being skeptical together. I just picked up my Ph.D from Thunderwood. Now I am as qualified as anyone to conduct "Paranormal Investigations". I especially appreciated your episode on "Ethics of Peddling the Paranormal" because, I guess, that's what I do. But I also peddle skepticism. It would be great to chat with you, but I'll settle for letting you know I'm a fan. With all best wishes.
- Joe Citro, Burlington VT, USA, Earth, etc.

I am a recent subscriber to Skeptoid. I have a science/engineering background and am very pleased and gratified to find such a wonderful source of critical thinking and common sense. I seldom post on blogs and the like but was prompted to comment on Brian’s comments about lack of comments to Episode #13… “A Primer On Scientific Testing”. I strongly believe that the concepts explained here should be a mandatory part of every primary and secondary education curriculum. I would put episodes #25 and #37 in the same category. My only regret is that after I work my way through all the back episodes (all are on my iPod) I will have to wait a week for each new one. Keep up the excellent work.
- Peter Tuckerman, Bradenton Fl

Just writing to say how much i enjoy the podcast. Me and my girlfriend work on a farm in the middle of no where and listen to the podcasts over and over makes the work day go quicker and you feel as though your learned something.
- Lachlan H Byrne, tincurrin W.A Australia

I am so thankful for places like this. Somewhere where people stop running frantic, and finally start thinking. Fear controls way to many people's lives, its time we put and end to all this nonsense.
- jonathan rodriguez, WHITTIER,CA

Dear Brian Dunning, I really enjoy your podcast, one of the primary reasons being that you are riding so many of my hobbyhorses. Although I try not to, I am still struggling with my mother-in-law who cannot distinguish believing from knowing (but who actually really can?). In this I get some comfort from hearing your podcast. I did not hear all your podcasts (some are less relevant here in Denmark), but perhaps you could talk about the placebo effect or about cosmetics. Lastly, I want to tease you a bit. You talked about statistics and the problem being that the numbers were to small in all these meaningless internet polls, but perhaps the reason more likely is that the are not representative of anything. Also when you talked about chikings
- Esben Agerbo, Århus, Denmark

I've been listening to Skeptoid since episode 10 and am proud to say that I've stuck around to see episode #130 roll around and I have not lost interest yet. Skeptoid has effectively handed me a muck rake, and led me to seeking out the truth. Skeptoid has also helped give me the basis for seeking out knowledge in matters that concern me the most. Again I can't say enough how proud I am that I listen to Skeptoid and that I apply it to my everyday life. Keep up the good work and keep giving us truth seekers, a guiding light in a world of misleading, harmful darkness.
- Chazz Irwin, Davison, MI

Just have to say, you are AWESOME! I caught Skeptoid inadvertently through listening to the SGU, and your contributions to society are invaluable. I truly appreciate everything you do, and will continue to listen and read along, because I learn something new EVERY TIME I do so. Never, ever slow down.
- Dillon Taylor, South Korea

I just finished watching "Here There Be Dragons" and I wanted to drop you a line to let you know just how much I enjoyed it. It was very well done and covered excellent ground for a survey of critical thinking. I was impressed how you managed to not criticize creationism overtly, but subtly by merely defending the science and the notion of a scientific theory. My girlfriend watched it with me and is an elementary school teacher. She may consider it as something to show her students! So keep up the great work, Brian.
- Shawn Shelton, Tulsa, OK

Just a quick message to say thank you for your podcast. I have been listening from the start & enjoy your no nonsense style delivery. Listening to podcasts like yours has prompted me to joint the local Skeptic group & attend this year’s Australian Skeptic’s Convention. Thanks for all the effort it must take to produce the show.
- Dean Watson, Adelaide Australia

Thanks so much Brian for two awesome podcasts: the Betty and Barney Hill Abduction, and the Oak Island Money Pit. Great stuff! I’m familiar with both and I’m glad I got to hear your critical analysis and share it with my family. I appreciate all the hard work you put into the website and podcasts.
- Erik Miller, L.A.

Just a quick note to say keep up the good work. I love the delivery and style, which occassionally makes me laugh out loud, causing the other commuters to think they're sharing the train with a lunatic. But what the hell, it's not my fault commuters into London hate smiling.
- Martin Skiggs, Essex, United Kingdom

I'm a new subscriber to your podcast and enjoy it thoroughly. Your presentation is logical, concise, with a dash of humor and well placed and appropriate sarcasm. I subscribe to several other "skeptic" podcasts and they fall short. The seem to spend an inordinate amount of time interviewing other skeptics, interviewing themselves, tossing around snarky comments among each other and trying to be cute and funny. They don't spend enough time, in my opinion, on actual myth busting, deabunking and educating as you do. Thanks for your wonderful program and keep up the good work.
- Andy, San Francisco

I teach high school chemistry, but more important I teach science as a process. I use Skeptoid podcasts in my class to teach critical thinking and reasoning. Keep up the good work!
- Steve Fannin, Tallahassee,FL

I finally found an alternative treatment that really works! I felt lousy this morning. So, I stayed in my pajamas, sipped hot tea, and listened to all the old Skeptoid podcasts you released before I discovered your feed. Miraculously, now that it's early afternoon (and I'm out of unheard Skeptoids), I'm feeling completely better! I wanted to share this great news with you. There is now a cure for whatever ails you: just listen to every episode of Skeptoid. It worked for me, after all. Thank you for fixing me up! :)
- Weavre Cooper, Pennsylvania, USA

I have recently discovered Skeptiod through iTunes Podcasts and enjoyed it so much I have downloaded every episode and will be listening to them all on a long auto trip to the west. I have listened to about 20 so far and watched “Here Be Dragons”. Frankly, this should be required reading/watching in every school as well as a course in healthy skepticism. As firm believer in the scientific process, yet lacking the time for research, I greatly appreciate the work you are doing here.
- Pete Tuckerman, Sarasota, FL

I've just finished listening to all of your podcasts to date. I felt compelled to drop you a line to say well done!! Please keep it up. It is always an interesting and at times enlightening monologue. Just goes to show that you can mix intelligence and humour and some people will still find it entertaining. Maybe the BIG Broadcasters should be paying attention to this kind of programming!
- Neil Rivers, Brisbane, Australia

Thank you for producing Skeptoid. You have gone to a lot of work and you have done a great job. I love it. I have only recently discovered Skeptoid through itunes and downloaded all the episodes and am listening to 3 or 4 a day. I am already dreading the day when I've heard them all and will have to wait for each new podcast.
- Brian Harty, Melbourne Australia

Just wanted to e-mail and say how much I enjoy listening to your episodes. The research and effort into the making of the shows is appreciated. Thankyou for making me really 'think' and to look at things from a different angle.
- Denis Gray, Australia

Of all the skeptical podcasts, Skeptoid is my favorite! I love the format, short and to the point. I love how it can challenge anyone, even skeptics. I know it's challenged me. I loved your first book and I can't wait to read Skeptoid 2. I loved Here Be Dragons and posted it on my myspace page. I hope Skeptoid continues for the next 100 years and beyond. Keep it up!
- Joshua Hunt, Cleveland, OH

I am delighted that regular, long-running shows, such as Skeptoid, continue to uphold the flame of rational thinking and science in the gathering darkness of paranoia and superstition. As a scientist, I can also appreciate the skillful writing that allows you to condense your in-depth research into 15 minutes or less, all the while telling a highly entertaining story. Superb show! Thanks.
- Nikolai Nawri, Reykjavik, Iceland

Your podcast is brilliant! I've just started listening to it and when listening to several episodes in a row, it's VERY good that there isn't 30 seconds of intro and outro music before the good stuff comes. You're straight to the point, have a enjoyable voice, are easy to follow and the content is always spot on. Truly great stuff!
- Patrik, Sweden

I found your show thru iTunes telling me that people who subscribed to Penn Jllette's old radio show also enjoyed your podcast. My only regret is that I listened to all your back podcasts too quickly. I should have rationed them, so I don't have to wait so long to hear a new one. Like Penn's show, I love that you are skeptical without being rude to others or becoming a knee-jerk cynic. Keep up the good fight, and spread the catch phrase "Be skeptical".
- Mike Devlin, Mechanicsville, VA

Your web site is great, I read it regularly in my lunch breaks, just to keep me sane!
- Dvir, Manchester, England

We love listening to your witty analysis. It's a great family bedtime story. My 6-year old son, loved hearing you mention his sweet talking "get out of the corner" technique on your last comments episode. I felt honored to have offered one of your favorite comments.
- patricia dragovic, New York

Hi, just came across your excellent film on Google Video. It's essential that more people promote Rationalism and critical thinking, especially given the current consumer climate and recent political events.
- James Pattinson, Kent, England

I recently stumbled upon your podcast. Since then I have become a great fan. I always wanted to send you a message of thank you. I really really appreciate what you are doing. I came from a foreign country. My first experience of America was rather shocking. I have never seen so much junk on TV in my life before I came to America. Abundance of Jerry Springer like, Cheaters, and reality shows, interrupted by video professors and commercials for penis enlarging pills make me really wonder how is that possible that America is so strong and rich while so many people are so naive and ignorant. So much money is made on this crap - it makes me sick. I am so happy I am too poor to afford a cable TV. Thank you very much for this great great job you are doing!
- Pavlo Cherepanov, Albuquerque, NM

I have been an avid listener for nearly 2 years now. I really enjoy your approach and you have helped open my eyes to critical thinking. My 6 year old son is also a keen listener and loved the HAARP episode. Keep up the good work.
- Malcolm Cook, Canberra, Australia

Dear Brian, I'm part of a small but passionate collective of professional thinkers dedicated to the proposition 'Question anything that sounds like crap', in order to spread a little sense and clarity during a period in human history that future historians will one day call 'The Stupid Ages'. Imagine my rapture in discovering the wonderful world of Skeptoid - there is intelligent life out there after all! Thank you for your work, I have all sorts of questions about all sorts of issues that you raise, but for now, I'm busy luring as many people as I can into the Skeptosphere.
- Jason Clarke, Minds at Work, Melbourne, Australia

In a society that has progressed in so many areas, in the sciences and humanities, in our understanding of ourselves and the world around us, it can be frustrating to see critical thinking take a back seat to superstition and utter flights of fancy. Thank you, Brian, for being a beacon of rationality and (sadly not so) common sense. I will continue to spread the word about your excellent (if a bit brief) podcast. Kudos!
- Nicholas, Portland, Maine

I will be turning thirty at the end of this month and have decided to end my twenties writing thank you notes to all the people who have had positive influence in my life... Thank you so much for the podcast! Every episode has been informative and entertaining. The world needs all the skeptical voices it can get with the large amount of pseudoscience pushed on people.
- Nick Peronti, Niles, IL

Thanks Dunning, you have made me so aware of many pseudo-sciences. I have to admit when I first started looking into the Scepticism I had found everything a bit confusing, but you made it clear for me, and now I know where I stand, a proud sceptic. It has also helped me realise some problems within my own life that I have managed to straighten out, and a certain comment you made in one of your podcasts I think of every day and it helps me so much to think about that one line.
- Will, England

Loved your last episode and podcast. You don't always say what I want. I don't always agree with what you say. You always make me think. I am always better educated after your show. Great job.
- Paul, Chicago

Hey Brian, your show rocks the house! You do a brilliant job explaining pop-culture beliefs; exposing the problems with many of the widely held, but erroneous beliefs and, at the same time, explaining the truth behind these things. I think you are doing a wonderful thing for the advancement of human kind. On behalf of the muggle population, I would like to extend our thanks. Keep up the good work!
- Steven Zuber, Colorado

I can't thank you enough for all the effort you've put into this entire project. Your work in general has helped my family and I become closer and we can relate more to each other just by simply looking at things skeptically. Weird, huh? Thanks!
- Vincent Simone, Florida, USA

Thanks for your podcast. I live in the industrial wasteland part of China, and podcasts are part of my way to keep in touch with the world outside the Happy Billion.
- Peter Wollman, china

Thank you for including Mark Twain on the reading list. Very insightful of you, and certainly an easier read than Dickens, although Hard Times, The Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist have more than the common share of satire on human frailty.
- Scott Peterson, Pohang, South Korea

Just wanted to send a small message of thanks for all your work on debunking pseudoscience. I find the podcasts witty, interesting and just a real weekly treat, thanks so much, keep up the good work!
- Billy, London, England

I love your podcast. Someone needs to have Dan Aykroyd listen to your crystal skull episode. Where do I vote for your podcast to be #1?
- Craig Sachs, Bronx Ny

Love the podcasts. I've been listening for about half a year. I haven't gotten through them all yet, but I'm getting there. Here Be Dragons is great and it has actually helped a couple of people I know not be so... Well stupid.
- Spencer Pruitt, Grand Junction, CO

Invigorating. Your site has challenged my beliefs. It's also helped me get to the root of that niggling feeling in my guts about so many of the popular notions and topics that float around our busy lives bidding for our attention, our wallets and for some my friends, their lives. With each and every episode, whether I understood it or not, I come away a little more niggle free.
- Christopher Soulos, Sydney Australia

I kind of love your podcast. Please never, ever, ever stop (personal circumstances permitting). :)
- Danielle, Seattle, WA

I've been a listener for about a year and absolutely love your podcast! I keep old episodes and relisten frequently. My 12 year old daughter enjoys listening with me and loves pointing out logical falicies, etc. at her school or in the media. In short, you ROCK Brian! Thanks!
- Jim Feiste, Seneca, SC

Your podcast is very interesting, straight to the point and well...just awesome. I'm a secular humanist and come from a country where religion is at the base of understanding everything! Between a weeping virgin here and a haunting djinn there, there's no place for skepticism. I'm converting my surrounding to skepticism and de-converting them from christianity or islam and I must say that your podcast is helping a lot especially in helping me pinpoint the fallacies in others reasoning. Keep up the good work.
- Amine, Beirut Lebanon

I'm an US Army Private stationed here in Texas and I just wanted to say that I love your show! I have a habit of mixing what I believe with some sort of political ideology and you have challenged me to think skeptically about some things like Global Warming and "Fast Food Phobias" other "liberal" causes. It's nice to hear the "other side" of the argument. Keep up the good work and if you ever find yourself in central Texas dinner's on me.
- Paul Brickey, Fort Hood Texas

Kudos to Brian for producing such a great podcast. Been listenning from almost the beginning. It's great to see someone tackling pop culture myths with wit and rationale. I'll continue to look forward to new episodes as I have been for some time now.
- Jason Barnhart, San Francisco

i happened across your site while searching for a way to disabuse a friend of an ugly online hoax. as the "you f8*3)+! idiot" approach has invariably served me poorly, for all the reasons articulated by other commenters, I find your site refreshing, amusing, and perspicuously useful.
- jake culver, portland oregon

Just caught your video on you tube. Really a great job. Thank you so much. Keep up the good fight!
- jay bingham, bakersfield

Congratulations on your concept and the strength to be producing the program. Your work has inspired me to be stronger when discussing some "new thing" that someone has "just discovered." You do a good job of researching and presenting. Keep neutral and keep going. You are adding value to the world!
- Art Leonard, Cleveland, Ohio

I've been listening for a couple of years and would just like to say, thank you. I've enjoyed every episode. Even though I consider myself a hardcore atheist skeptic, you've opened other viewpoints that I didn't consider. Makes me think I'm not quite the logical thinker that I think I am.
- Alan Macdonald, Las Vegas, NV

Love the show! I don't always agree with you, but I love that you don't take yourself too seriously. I'm a huge fan of The Skeptics Guide podcast, but your sometime "snarkiness" is a refreshing contrast.
- Misha M., Santa Barbara, CA

Due to the recent increased internet bandwidth in this country I have recently found Skeptoid and been able to listen to the podcasts. I must say I love what you are doing and I wish more people applied skepticism to their daily lives. Well done and keep it up!
- Jeremy Elwell, Johannesburg, South Africa

Brian, Great job! keeping the episode to under 15 minutes allows the perfect excuse to keep listening! I've gotten many of my non-skeptical friends to listen just because it's easy to digest. Keep up the wonderful work.
- Geoffrey, Connecticut

I just wanted to say that the podcast is excellent. Very informative and interesting. Keep up the great work.
- Clint Wolf, Chicago, Illinois

Brilliant! Everyone, whether they agree or not with Mr. Dunning, could benefit from the improvements in critical thinking skills he teaches. I was able to get some of my Ghost Hunting friends to start listening to the program by giving them samples of other topics I new they would find less an affront to them. Some have become subscribers & now a couple are even beginning to question the rationality of their Hunting pastime. Thank you!
- Ethan Gjurovich, Upstate, NY

Skeptoid routinely adds to my perspective on any given topics. I'm happy to claim that Brian has set me straight on a number of very taxing issues. Perfect if you are unclear on something specific or if you just need your weekly fix of critical thinking.
- Grant Nielsen, Jacksonville, FL

It's really refreshing to hear such clear, informed and sensible commentary on a wide range of topics. You do great work and you can rest assured your ideas and views are being liberally spread around Johannesburg.
- Jarred Cinman, Johannesburg, South Africa

One of my favorite podcasts - and I listen to a lot. Nice to get a refreshing scientific view on pop culture. I'm glad I only discovered this now - gave me lots to listen to. Downloaded every last one. Only sad thing is I'm almost through them all. Excellent work!
- Pieter Venter, Canada

I just wanted to say how much I enjoy the podcast. I have just listened to the 'Missing Cosmonaut' episode and I was blown away (no pun intended)! As my Wife is a supplement fan, I have booked a time with her when she promises to sit down with me and watch 'Here Be Dragons'. I am sure she will listen to you more than she listens to her grumpy old man! Keep up the good work Brian.
- Adrian Steele, Warwickshire, England

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the "Here Be Dragons" movie. I really appreciate that someone would stand up, and try to bring logical thought back to society. I really enjoy your podcast, and am looking forward to hearing more. Thanks again.
- Franklin Ashley, Baltimore Md.

I have just found this podcast and I am so completely addicted to it that I just may turn in my Raëlian VIP card and start the new Briänism religion! (umlauts included!)
- Jennifer, Raymond, NH

Even though I am a faithful, devoted Mormon, I absolutely love your style. I don't imagine I'll ever tire of your podcasts unless you start calling your listeners "Ditto Heads!" Thanks for the hours of listening pleasure.
- Greg Bowman, Las Vegas

I've always (since a kid) been a skeptic, even if I found out a name for my "state" just recently. I absolutely love your podcast, as it's always full of actual facts, analyzed critically, with no punches pulled against all that nonsense that pollutes our world these days. Keep on the hard work, and congratulations on the best single podcast out there.
- Andres Pabon, Bogota, Colombia

I found your podcast about one week ago, while I was at work, browsing the internet. In just one week I listened to all of your episodes (most of them while working, so wasn't paying attention to some them, but I can always re-listen). I found all of them to be extremely interesting and I started changing my opinions about certain preconceived things that I had for years (with a bit of research of my own, of course). I just wanted to tell you that you are doing a fantastic job, keep up the good work, and I'll tell my friends about your podcast.
- Vlad Preda, Bucharest, Romania

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your podcast. My only complaint is that I will soon have listened to them all and will suffer withdrawl symptoms since I will have to get used to waiting anxiously for new ones to be released rather than the rate of about five per day that I have been enjoying since discovering "Skeptoid"!
- Greg Dardas, Midland Michigan

I discovered the Skeptoid podcast about 2 months ago and now I cannot wait for my weekly 'hit'. Your rational and articulate explanations on such a wide variety of topics are a welcome counterpoint to the swill that passes itself off as mainstream news and commentary. My area of expertise is in energy, particularly nuclear. Your excellent treatment of various energy sources, particularly nuclear energy, gives me confidence that I am getting 'the straight dope' on the other topics as well.
- Hans Gougar, Centurion, South Africa

I just learned about the Skeptoid podcasts a couple weeks ago and have been listening to all the episodes. I just listened to another of your reports of user feedback and couldn't quit sighing / cringing (alternately). Just wanted to give you a few words of encouragement and praise. I think your work is fabulous. I agree with almost all of it. But your premise and main point is excellent - that being skeptical and following the scientific method is the right and only path to the truth. Anyway, keep up the excellent work and don't you dare get discouraged by petty and thoughtless comments. This really is a VERY important fight, in my opinion. As you know very well -- not all irrational beliefs are harmless.
- Steve Cox, Twin Falls, ID

Don't agree with everything you say (I'm a little sceptical about some of it) but always enjoy these and you seem fairly well-informed and open-minded. Keep up the good work.
- Paul Marshall, Edinburgh

I just want to say how much I like your podcasts. I've listened to the last 5 or so podcasts, and I liked them so much that I'm currently downloading the whole library of the earlier 100 episodes. Great stuff! I often wish they were a little longer, but maybe I wouldn't like them so much if they weren't as small as they are now? Some of them I've listened to several times! You're a very good and incredibly entertaining speaker, even if I would disregard the content. Skeptoid is something of the best I've ever listened too, and together with a select few podcasts, it's become the highlight of my week whenever I get the time to listen to it.
- Mattias Dahlberg, Stockholm, Sweden

I have been listening for a long time and enjoy the podcast.
- Steven Henry, St.Petersburg, FL USA

When my 6 year old son wants to sweet talk me he brings me my iPod and says, "Don't you want to listen to your favorite Skeptoid??
- Pat Dragovic, NY

I started listening Skeptoid long after I heard of it, once I noticed how many pseudosciences my father and stepmother believe in. These include homeopathy and chiropractic. I find your show facinating and informative, and am going to inform my stepmother of it.
- Aleksi Tervo, Kajaani, Finland

Thanks so much for such a great podcast. I'm an American in Berlin, working as a research assistant at Max Planck Institute, and I have to watch monkeys for hours and hours until they do something interesting other than eat, fight, and have sex, so I just love having something scientific but lighthearted to consume while I'm waiting. I hope you continue to produce your podcast for a long time; I've been telling everyone about it, and I just enjoy it so much! Thank you!
- Beth Di Leone, Berlin, Germany

I love your show. Fancy that - critical thinking on the internet. There is so much jibberish and wibble online it is a relief to listen to such considered opinion where the only agenda to push is a search for the truth. I used to think that things like creationism, faith healing and the paranormal were for the deluded but harmless in society, but in the last decade more and more belief based on superstition, religious dogma and phony-science are creeping into state policy. That really bothers me but more so people should be worried in the states where unscientific policy making (i.e. stem-cell research) is based on totally unscientific methods.
- Robert Scott, Auckland New Zealand

Your podcast is one of the few that can't wait to listen to every week. I only wish a new episode could come out every day. (I know that's not possible) It is just about the only podcast that I'm willing to listen to multiple times. You rock! Keep it up!
- Kevin Hicks, Columbus, GA

Fantastic show! You often hit interesting topics that other skeptical media may have overlooked, and walk the line between cool logic and raging snottiness better than most.
- Ray, Ohio

Brian, your work should be the starting point of every child's education. Teaching people to shake off the various pseudoscientific and flat-out absurd notions that they have acquired is very honourable... though teaching them how to think for themselves is an even grander goal. Your podcast does both extremely well. I am in the process now of writing the link to each episode on cards and handing them out to people as 'prescriptions' when they make 'sick' claims about what is true.
- Fred Lunjevich, Auckland, New Zealand

Love the lastest homeopathy podcast. It was funny. I cannot believe people buy into these Homeopathy CD scams. Hey love your shows, seen the movie Let There be Dragons, it's excellent. Looking forward to The Skeptologists.
- Matt McEwan, Finland

I love your podcasts. Finally, someone who offers thoroughly researched and well presented information about topics that we are bombarded with every single day. Your podcast about a "Free Tibet" is a perfect example of the bullshit that is constantly thrown in our face, especially with the Beijing Olympics about to start. Dopey hollywood "Celebrities" who "speak Out" about anything annoy me and usually make me care even less about what ever crap they are waffling on about. Please keep up the good work, I'm spreading the word down here for you.
- Ben Williamson, Sydney, Australia

I really enjoy your podcast: I discovered it really recently, and I'm now browsing through the past episodes. The research is amazing and I enjoy the seriousness and detail put in each episode. Keep on!
- François Gagnon, Québec

Hey, just would like to say that your podcast is ace. i feel like I've learnt so much in the areas that you have discussed. Anyways; i made a picture in MSpaint to celebrate... well to celebrate how bad i am at using MSpaint i suppose, its about as good as the average Alien encounter, hope you like it: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/3dba212688.jpg
- Francis, Cambridge, England

This is a really brilliant podcast. I must admit, when a podcast by the name of Skeptoid was recommended to me I was a bit wary, but I've found almost all of the information within each episode to be well presented and tactfully shared with the listeners. Keep it up!
- Laura, Boston

Love your cast, keep it up. It's good to know that at least we are not alone when we collide with the massive solidarity of the morons.
- Paul, Switzerland

I'm a new fan of yours and I really appreciate your podcast. Though once or twice I have had small disagreements with you, I always admire the way you think critically and logically about a subject.
- Remy Louviere, Salt Lake City

Thanks for an amazing podcast. I’ve found the series great to share with my very enthusiastic 11 yr son. I was impressed to hear him lecture his mother tonight on his favourite logical fallacies. Hopefully (with your help) we are on our way training him "how to think not what to think". Thanks and regards.
- Ian Kynaston, Sydney Australia

First I would like to say that I love the podcast. We recently drove from Oregon to New Mexico and back and, having recently discovered Skeptoid, downloaded ALL the episodes for the trip. It was an entertaining and informative way to spend part of the drive. Take care and keep up the great podcast.
- Bill McLaughlin, Oregon

I should just like to say what a breath of fresh air this is. I am a natural skeptic and often face the onslaught of idiotic belief that surrounds us through media misrepresentation and, dare I say it, foisted upon us by dubiously quoted and misused statistics by the government of the day. Well done and keep it up.
- Simon Elvy, Crowborough, England

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE skeptoid! I listen to your podcast almost every day with my dad. I just turned fourteen and I really think Skeptoid would catch the attention of anyone at any age (either that or I'm just abnormal). I've listened to other podcasts like this, and those are always presented in a monotone as if the person just got bored at 3AM. Just wanted to say thanks!!! Also to inform you that I recommended Skeptoid to my best friend, and she loves it too!! :)
- Helen W., Eugene, Oregon

Skeptoid is great! My dad introduced me to Skeptoid a few weeks ago and now I am hooked! Awesome job!
- Chris H, California

I recently found your podcasts through iTunes and I'm really enjoying them! I make a ten-minute commute 4x a day, so it's great to be able to listen start-to-finish on my way. I just want to say thanks for providing a nice archipelago of rationality in the sea of superstitions. I often use the information I gain in the podcasts to stimulate conversation in the fluency classes I teach. Keep up the good work and thanks again!
- David Reid, Germany

Skeptoid is amazing. Thank you SO MUCH for this podcast. I am SURROUNDED by the myth-minded and knowing there are other skepics in the world makes me feel less alone. You have even exposed some myths I tentatively believed myself. Thank you so much for the well-researched and rational explanations you provide. Keep up the good work. There are too few who really know how to question the world around them! I loved "Here be Dragons". I bought a copy for my mom for her birthday.
- Matt Fischer, Saint Louis

I love skeptoid! I'm an atheist and have been for most of my life, so your podcasts on religion duping people are fascinating. The shows where you tackle celebrity science are my favorite and they should be mandatory in schools! Keep up the good work, and thanx for enlightening the world.
- Ciaran Hughes, Belfast, N Ireland

Excellent podcast. I discovered it only two weeks ago and I've already gotten through them all.
- Marc Vogtman, Washington, DC

Skeptoid is one of the reasons I bought an iPod!
- Chris, Marietta, Ga

Awesome report on Numbers Stations! I've been facinated by this real mystery for years. Keep up the great work. I love your podcasts. It's a weekly nugget of common sense.
- Erik, California

I love this podcast. I eat it up wih a spoon. It is nice to get an opinion free answer to questions. "Just the facts, ma'am just the facts."
- John Ferinde, Olney, MD

I'm only thirteen, and started listening to Skeptoid after my dad showed me your video "Here Be Dragons." I thoroughly enjoyed watching it, so I listened to a few of your podcasts. I immediately subscribed in iTunes and appreciate your perspective on many different issues such as Creationism and several Alternative Therapies. You have encouraged me to look at the world skeptically, which I now believe to be a very important skill. Thank you.
- Domenic P, Sydney, Australia

Bryan I just have to congratulate you for your excellent podcast. In Costa Rica, as in most places around the world, people have not any critical thinking skills; your sharp analysis brings some fresh air even in Latin America!
- Eduardo Alvarado, San José, Costa Rica

Brian, I have an 11 year old son to whom I have introduced the idea of skepticism. Now, I am not trying to kill off youthful imagination and creativity, but I am trying to open his eyes up to the constant bombardment of popular culture children get each day. I showed him excerpts of 'Here Be Dragons' and explained the meaning behind it. Lo and behold, he now points to signs about reflexology, magnetic bed liners, reiki healers, etc and asks me, "Hey Dad, there be dragons?" I simply smile and wink at him. Thank you.
- John Russo, Melbourne, Australia

Im fan of many skeptic podcast, but yours its the best by far. It has the right length, and goes right to the point in just two kicks. I wish there were something like this in spanish, the rest of the world is very much in need of the work of people like you. Thank you.
- Aaron Silva, HMO, Mexico

Excellent education in critical thinking and always entertaining. A great way to spend 10 minutes every week.
- David Palmer, Ipswich, England

Yesterday I was browsing iTunes to see if could find any interesting podcasts. I found Skeptoid and I love it. Keep up the good work!
- Jonas Boström, Uppsala, Sweden

I'm very glad to have found your podcasts and "Here Be Dragons" video. It's good to see that someone out there is promoting critical thinking on a large scale. I have long believed that critical thinking should be part of late high school and early university curriculum. While unquestioningly doing what you are told by your parents has a benefit at an early age, carrying that tendency into later life is ill advised. The best phrase in the world is: "Why?" Thank you for your great efforts !
- Roy Pennington, Canada

I recently came across your podcast whilst trolling through the iTunes podcast directory looking for something worthwhile to listen to. I struck gold with yours. I've downloaded the lot and listen to them in the car everyday. Great work.
- Bill Heague, Canberra Australia

Just wanted to thank you for coming to the Midwest Skeptics Society Meetup this last Saturday. I really enjoyed your talk.
- Dave Peters, Overland Park KS

Just a quick note to say your production of "Dragons" was fantastic. I am a regular podcast subscriber and was interested in seeing your video. It blew me away; the professionalism of the project was impressive. I got a huge lump in my throat when you recommended "Huck Finn"-- what a brilliant choice! Thank you for keeping the door of reason propped open with you big old critical foot.
- Robert Griffin, Orlando, Florida

Thanks for Skeptoid! Finally, there are bite-sized peaces of wisdom I can throw in the direction of my skeptically challenged friends. They can be listened to, even if you are new to skepticism, but provide enough information to really get you hooked. This is great, considering I heard about skeptoid at the SGU. SGU is a bit much for the people I want to inform about, say, pseudosciences. Therefore, I am glad I found your podcast. Keep fighting the good fight!
- Malte Ohlsen, Hamburg, Germany

Measured, intelligent, well researched (mostly!), eclectic enough to keep me guessing and above all honest. Utterly engrossing bite sized, 10 minute streams of reason. Ignore it at your peril.
- Dean Hinde, England (although I am Welsh)

Hey there. I just started listening to your podcast, and I can't get enough! Although I don't always agree with your views or opinions, I really enjoy getting to hear about the other side of things. Plus it's always nice to hear some razor sharp wit (not being facetious here) thrown in the faces of people who are so inept at critically thinking that I often wonder how they chew gum and walk at the same time (without dragging their knuckles of course). Keep up the good work!
- Craig, Alberta, Canada

Kudos to Brian Dunning and Skeptoid.com! The podcasts are insightful and interesting. The series should be a required part of high school and college curricula for the entire country! Bravo!
- David Hewitt, M.D., California

My whole family loves SKEPTOID! I've been a skeptic for many years, but i still found your book (we listened to the audio format) to be full of illuminating and interesting facts. Can't say 'good on ya!' enough. you're doing a real public service. now if we could only get this way of thinking taught in our public schools... You should see if you can set up deals where interested people can buy one, five or ten (numbers are only suggestions) of your books for public libraries. work like this is too important not to be widely available. I'd buy them for the libraries near me... just a thought. Here's to ONE OF US! well done. Keep up the terrific work.
- george bormes, monroe, ct

I just want to thank you for your podcasts - I enjoy listening to them a lot!
- Eliška Hulcová, Prague, Czech Republic

The podcast is great. The movie is awesome. I wish there were more podcasts like yours. You do a tremendous job. Thank you.
- Joseph Lamoree, Newbury Park, CA, US

Thank you for your excellent podcasts! These gave me a great introduction to skepticism and critical thinking, which in effect has changed the "mental filters" I use to view the world. (I hope you understand what I mean by that) I will definitely continue listening and studying logic/critical thinking on my own. Please keep up the great work!
- Jason Klinefelter, Al Asad, Iraq

The analysis of the TWA light off Long Island was brilliant. I just thought another conspiracy theory and dismissed the friendly fire missiles idea. Recognizing the time delay created by the speed of sound pretty well lays it to rest.
- David Neises, Jacksonville, FL

I am grateful for your intelligent and stimulating podcast. I listen to many podcasts and find most to have very poor sound quality, but your work is of very high quality both in terms of content and presentation. I like that you get right to the meat of the matter at hand and efficiently apply the facts that put things in perspective. I recently downloaded "Here Be Dragons" and watched it. It is also of very high quality, and the product of much work. I intend to mail it to a friend who seems to want to think straight, but has trouble letting go of pleasant fantasies and doesn't have much in the line of tools to work with. Thank you for all your hard work on both the podcast and the film.
- Mark N. Reihart, Archer, Florida

I got an iPod touch to listen to music and view some pictures. Then I found podcasts. OMG I didn't know they even existed. Your site is my favorite. Thanks.
- Ken Bauer, Boise, ID

Here is your bone, doggy brian!! Your info, professional presentations, and wonderful voice talents get me through a very hum drum day at work at a factory where the National Enquirer could be our employee handbook. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! My little green iPod thrills to the sound of the opening bits of Skeptoid podcasts!!
- meg oceanna, north hoosick new york

Brian Dunning is doing more for skepticism that any individual non-scientist layman. Brian, you're an inspiration, and keep up the good work!
- Brandon Putz, Edwardsville, IL

My wife and I downloaded ALL of your podcasts and played them as we trekked from Louisville to Philadephia (and back) for a music festival. We really enjoyed them! I am a psychology professor at Spalding University (actually, Chair of the Department) and often hear some of my students spouting on about the psuedoscientific things they are reading online. Your episodes devoted to critical thinking (and errors) was especially poignant. I hope to include some of those podcasts in my course assignments! Also, I passed your information along to my Dean, who is devoting next year's campus activities to Critical Thinking. Maybe we can bring you in! Anyway, keep up the balanced, funny, and important work you are doing.
- Steve Katsikas, Louisville, KY

Hi Brian, I recently discovered your podcasts and just wanted to say thanks and keep up the good work. We need more people like yourself to raise awareness around matters of critical thinking and help dispel superstitious ways of looking at the world.
- Alan Wolfe, New Zealand (at the moment)

Dear Brian Dunning, I found my way to your podcasts via the ‘Skeptics Guide to the Universe’. Your clear precise style of presentation and singular topics, nicely complements those of the more conversational style of the SGU. I have almost finished catching up to the present podcast after downloading all your old episodes on my iPod. I think what most impresses me, is the comprehensiveness of your research that allows you to capture the main points of contention and then condenses all of that into a succinct presentation. Absolutely first rate.
- Robert Wilson, Brisbane Australia

Can't post my real name because I live in the deep south (unfortunately and temporarily) and would be tarred and feathered if my neighbors knew that I think their myopic and unlettered religious beliefs are ridiculous and mythological. Just wanted to tell you that I LOVE LOVE LOVE the podcast...and I think you are HOT.
- Mac, North America

I love you, Brian Dunning. I was entertained and intrigued by your podcast at first; then you talked about the theory of evolution and I wanted to give you a hug. I am a Christian and I take my faith very seriously. I also studied biology in college. Only a handful of my close friends and family actually understand my point of view, "believing in" both evolution and creationism. The "official" story, about this battle of ideals, has been pissing me off since 6th grade, when my Christian school started teaching us the theory of evolution and how it's wrong. Even then I didn't understand how the idea of evolution disagreed with the Bible. (At this point I had much of the Bible memorized already.) Thank you for everything you do; I always try to think critically, but you have helped me to go deeper into a lot of ideas that I hadn't spent much time with. THANK YOU.
- Jill, Billings, MT

5 days a week I walk over two miles to my train, in the dim, glorious, and often damp, early English morning. I just wanted to let you know it is now one of the highlights of my day to pop in my headphones, click on my daily dose of Skeptoid and smile smugly, or to be honest, more often with embarrased chagrin at your poignent and witty podcast. Keep up the great work, it is rare to find something so informative, yet so enjoyable.
- jill, London, England

Go Brian!
- Julia Bell, London UK

I just watched "Here Be Dragons" and I just wanted to pass on a bit of kudos. Nice work. Keep up the good fight.
- Trevor Agnitti, Springfield, MA USA

Absolutely love your podcasts! I just watched Here Be Dragons and it was awesome! I hope you continue to do similar projects in the future and I also hope The Skeptologists works out for you.
- Chuck Wieland, California

You are doing a fantastic job with the podcast and I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into this. We have such a great need for skeptical thinking in this world. Even those of us who consider ourselves "skeptical" or "rational" need a kick in the pants once in a while. Thank you so much for giving us all our weekly kicks!
- Jennifer, Mississippi

I believe myself to be scientific in thinking, but while listening to your organic food episode I found myself getting angry. Upon reflection, I noticed that I _wanted_ to believe that organics were superior and have since re-evaluated the way I go about things. Thank you Brian for what you do and keep doing it.
- Alan Boyce, Jacksonville Florida

Fantastic podcast. A Niagra Falls of reason pouring into the desert of superstition we are surrounded by these days. I love your sense of humor, and I will buy Here Be Dragons on DVD ASAP (perhaps keep it in my trench coat to whip out at will). Keep up the good work!
- Jacob, Arizona

Just watched "Here Be Dragons". Great job Brian. I am going to download the HD torrent and make some dvds for my friends and family. With all of the Zeitgeist and Loose Change nonsense out there it is good to see a video that promotes science and critical thinking.
- Isaac, Portland, OR

I just wanted to drop you a line and say how much I have enjoyed listening to your podcasts. I Work at a Golf Course and as you can imagine I'm mowing alot of grass these days. That being sad, I have alot of time immersed in a world with my MP3 player and headphones. I can only listen to the same music day in and day out, So I found your web page and downloaded around 100 of your podcasts. Needless to say I've listened to 95% of them in the last three days of work. I'm hooked!! I tried to listen to the local news, yet they are die hard conservatives, so I tried some podcasts of "Blast the Right", to see the other side of the coin. This I'm afraid was even worse. Then I found your podcasts. It was excatly what I was looking for, you take neither side, only report the facts scientifically and let the listener derive their own conclusions. Your broad topics keep me interested as well as stimulate my brain while I mindlessly mow in a straight line dodging the (self-proclaimed) Golfers. Sorry so long, just wanted to express my thanx for the wonderful topics and discussion you have created at the water cooler.
- Greg Dalot, S. Bristol, ME.

Skeptoid is a very well produced podcast. Although I may not always agree with you in all the podcasts, I have enjoyed every episode from the first release. I would hope to see the show eventual expansion to full hour episodes. If funding is a challenge, I would hope your book sales and possibly a donations section added to the web page could help fund this. Thank You for the podcasts and good luck with your TV show.
- Greg, B.C., Canada

As an OB/GYN in Naples FL, an ever increasing part of my job has become to educate my patients about growing and evolving (no pun intended) psuedoscience. Wheatgrass, homeopathy, chiropracting, acupuncture, chelation therapy, pH specific nutrition, raw food diets, antioxidant juices, and pyramid healing are all areas that have come up in the last month. "Doctor, what do you think about (insert bizarre idea here)? It takes time to do the right thing by our patients and too many doctors have become complacent in there criticism of hooey- and patients get hurt. Your podcast gives me strength in what is often a lonely endeavor. Keep up the good work, if you ever get to Naples, let me by you a beer and maybe we can even go Skunk Ape hunting.
- Blane Crandall, Naples FL

I was born a skeptic I suppose. I remember being called a doubting Thomas when I was young. I feel vindicated by your podcasts and am constantly amazed by the quantity of gullible people. Please keep up the good and entertaining work.
- ken pfeffer, 4105 park drive, carlsbad califonia 92008

Without question my favorite podcast. Brief, witty, informative and unflinchingly skeptical.
- George Theodosopoulos, Queens, NY

Thank you- amazing work - the most balanced and well researched skeptical podcast that I have found.
- Tom Wise, Oxford UK

I've recently begun to listen to the podcasts and have enjoyed and appreciated them so much that I came to the site to donate a little money. Do you accept donations? (I expected to find a "donate to skeptoid" button.)
- George Bailey, Pottersville, USA

Thank you for the podcast widget for Mac OS X. Hardly a necessary item but it's nice to know you care about us Apple-ists. Love the podcast by the way.
- Jerad, York, England

Thanks very much for the podcast. Sadly I've almost caught up listening the back catalogue and will soon have to wait for each new episode. Your critical analysis is fantastic and real food for thought. Thanks again.
- Dave, Perth, Western Australia

The podcast is great. Keep up the good work. The best part is that I am a Physics major, and love the scientific method put forth by Brian in studying every subject. The research is good, but a real skeptic like Brian tells you to look stuff up for yourself. Study data, not interpretations.
- James Kerns, San Diego, CA

Congrats on your 100 episodes - hope to hear many more. I get the podcasts via iTunes and it's always a treat when a new one turns up.
- Steve Clark, Hamilton, Victoria, Australia

Terrific cast. I listen with my 13 year old daughter on the way to school. She's disappointed now that we have "caught up" and have to wait for each new release.
- glen wolfram, eugene, oregon

Somehow I am having a Brian Dunning day - I fell asleep on my collection of Skeptoid podcasts - good way to fill dreams with nightmares of pseudo-science. So what better time, then, to thank you for your effort in making these podcasts. This is a new age of superstition. Religious belief need not conflict with science, but it sure makes things easier for those using religion as a mean to attain power and control, does it not? Are witch hunts next? Yet you, me and a few others do not give up. Being a skeptic means I get laughed out of a room for mentioning documented rains of fish an frogs as a plausibility (with possible scientific explanation), and thrown out of the party for describing homeopathy as a laughable fraud. Oh well - so be it. Keep that enlightening beacon burning...
- Pat St-Arnaud, Montreal QC

Congratulations on 100 episodes! Keep up the good work and we will keep listening!
- Dick Davis, McCool Junction, NE

I really enjoy your podcasts. It's really enlightening and it has made me a real skeptic. Before I would be taken in by all the sensationalist headlines, but now after some rational thinking I treat it with a lot of skepticism. Keep up the good work.
- Manuel, Plymouth, UK

I just want to say to Brian Dunning how much I have enjoyed the podcasts, which I download and listen to while driving and at lunch breaks. You have enriched my life, helped me to sharpen my critical thinking skills, and help me focus on a rational view of what is real. I do so much enjoy your insight and wry wit. Thank you, and may your journey be joyful and fun!
- Steve Young, Ashland, Ohio

Your podcasts are a real breath of fresh air. I am a graduate engineer with a naturally sceptical point of view, but most days I feel I am drowning in a sea of gullible idiots who will believe anything they are told through the media. Real facts and hard evidence are too boring for them to bother with - sensationalism is much more exciting. I am very relieved to know there are other people out there who question hard and don't just go along with the contagious hysteria of modern life.
- Alistair Dixon, Swansea, UK

I do not get enough about your information. At first I devoured all your episodes in few days, then I took my boys to San Rafael Swell (Utah), I did infect them with your skeptic virus, then I proceeded converting my Pediatrician wife. Anyway, you can't do much better than offer us 10 minute of yourself each week!!!!! Brian, you are a good guy. I do appreciate what you do for people.
- Artin Arakelian, Houston, Tx

Thank you for the wonderful podcast. Keep up the good work.
- njskeptic, New Jersey

I was at track practice drinking out of my nalgene bottle, when one girl says to me, "My mom said that plastic bottles give you cancer!" I thought it would be a perfect topic for you, but oh look! You've already done it!!!!! Thanks for anticipating my question a year in advance!
- Corinne S., Colorado

Thank you for Skeptoid.com. It is wonderful to have a straightforward, intelligent voice in the growing sea of television and radio pap.
- Brian Lund, Haines City, FL

Hi Brian, I love your podcast! I was at home visiting the folks a few weeks ago and my dad put your podcast on in the car one day (it was the nuclear power episode) and that night I HAD to download all of your podcasts. Listened to them all since then and eagerly await your future episodes. I've done my 2 and 2 because I pretty much agree with everything you say (I'm not saying this to suck up to you, I honestly do!). Would be great to come and hear you speak if you are ever in the UK. Thank you for putting so many people in their place and hopefully you are not getting too put off by any hate mail that might be coming your way.
- Fraser Anderson, Edinburgh, UK

I cannot get enough of Skeptoid! Now I am so skeptical and it's fun! I love deleting those annoying emails and I love leaving my bottled water in the car overnight then drinking it fearlessly! Really, though, what a pleasure. THANK YOU!
- Kiki Nusbaumer, Richmond, VA

You have a most excellent podcast. I am a skeptic and a subscriber of a variety of podcasts and I have to say yours is one of the best. Many podcasts include a large amount of small talk, but yours gets right to the point and does not waste my time at all. In fact, I find your comments to be right on target and contain irrefutable logic. Some of the topics are more interesting than others, but they are all very informative and entertaining as well. With all of the junk we are being hit with -- Expelled, etc. -- yours is a breath of fresh air. When I get down hearing all of the Creationist, Intelligent Design, UFO, Shoud of Turin blabberings, I only have to listen to your podcast to know that reason is still alive and kicking. I also commend you for making it available for use in schools and elsewhere, because your voice needs to be heard. Keep up the great work.
- Mark Cheffey, Palmyra, Missouri

I just wanted to say that your pod cast is really great, it's something that I enjoy regularly. I don't expect to agree with your every word and thought, but I do appreciate your informed and educated point of view. You are truly doing the community and the world a service by informing and challenging the mind, please continue.
- Jeremy Anderson, Vancouver, Washington, USA

I've been enjoying skeptoid for some months now. It makes a nice companion to the Mysterious Universe podcast, oddly enough, but for quite the opposite reason.
- James P, Sydney, Aust

Growing up in small, rural, Bible believing, Christian cross every two miles, church on every crossroad, friends cousins a dowser, part of the country in western Saskatchewan, Canada. Not knowing that there are other people like myself out there until I found out about iPods and iTunes and then your wonderful show. I have finally found out that I am NOT ALONE. What an euphoric sense of belonging .... finally. Thank you and all the other JREF folks. SGU, Randi, Shermer, Dawkins, Sagan, Mythbusters etc. etc.
- Mark Hryniuk, Prud'homme, Saskatchewan, Canada

This is such a brilliant podcast that breaks down skeptical subjects into easily digested 10 minute chunks. Great for anyone, believe or not.
- Garet Seman, Winnipeg Manitoba

I've had a really good time listening to the podcasts, especially when your comments contradict your previous statements. For example the proof of fakers not being proof of actual existence (Bigfoot) and the All crop circles being faked.
- Paul Confer, Denver Colorado

Keep it going. I would be pointing and laughing at the gullible, but as most seem to be in some postion of influence its a bit of a worry. Great cast.
- paul, Bisley, Surrey, UK

A few weeks ago I discovered your podcast. Now I wish I found it a lot earlier! Although our media maintains that it is skeptical and will research any claim thoroughly, you won't beleive what kind of humbug gets through unchecked. Everybody loves a good mystery and some conspiracy theories can be entertaining. But I tend to get irritated when people take it seriously without seriously asking serious questions. Why do people stop thinking when things get a little weird? At least I found someone who can help me convince people that thinking for yourself, and thinking skeptically is not a crime!
- Sabine, Belgium

Just wanted to say Hi, keep up the amazing podcasts, i love them!
- Edward corfield, South of London

I love your podcast. I found it when i looked up the Guide on Itunes and while Guide is good i enjoy your a lot more. LoL i even listen when i'm playing WOW, makes killing mobs that much better. Huggles! and please keep up the good work.
- Nicki, Calgary, Alberta Canada

Exceptional source of well-reasoned information. I especially like how you invite those who disagree to challenge you, and only as long as they have a logical basis, not just an opinion. I just listened to all the available episodes and only wish there were more in the archives.
- jonathan, new hampshire

Love the podcast! I have downloaded all the episodes. I find myself listening to them in my car (instead of the radio) and as I am going to sleep (instead of the TV!) Keep them coming...great job!
- Chuck Millard, North Carolina

About a week ago I came across your podcast, Skeptoid. I am now up to date with all your episodes. I just wanted to let you know that I really find Skeptoid helpful in so many ways. Thank you so much for doing what you do.
- Rebekah Garr, Mesa, AZ

Congratulations on your excellent website. It's another valuable resource in the battle against scams, superstitions and stupidity.
- Tom Cantwell, England

I just recently discovered your podcast and it has already done me a world of good. After several years of listening to Coast to Coast AM for entertainment purposes, my brain was turning to mush, (even if I didn't really believe about 90% of what I was hearing on there). Then I discovered a little thing called critical thinking and skepticism, and stumbled across your podcast on iTunes. Over a period of just two or three weeks, I have listened to all your past shows with delight, and plan to send you an email with a short list of suggestions for future program topics. We need more people like you to help clear the dense fog of misinformation, disinformation, hype, fear and intellectual laziness that has settled upon our nation. Keep up the good work. And I am sure if I ever tune into Coast to Coast again, I will probably disbelieve about 99.5% of what I hear now.
- Russell Cowser, Dallas, TX

Thanks for a great podcast! New to the skeptic community, many of your podcasts directly relate to my own past mistakes. As a former participant in multilevel marketing schemes and colon cleansing diets, your attention to these topics has been especially informative. Through your podcast, the discussion forum, and the Skeptalk email discussion list, each day generates new understanding. I greatly appreciate your shows on logical fallacies, how to argue with a creationist, the importance of critical thinking, and how to spot pseudoscience. I recommend your website and podcast to all my family and friends.
- Ryan Sjaarda, Hoboken, NJ

I love your show, and I am very excited about your new TV pilot. Just wanted to wish you all the best. I started skeptical a blog and my first couple of posts were about your show. Also trying to tell everyone I know about it!
- Randy Monteiro, San Leandro, CA

Terrific podcast !! Not only are your topics great, useful and informative, but your command of the English language in terms of syntax and usage, is outstanding. Please keep the episodes coming. Do not go away.
- Mike Richards, Dover, NH

Brian, Thank you for the work that you're doing for skepticism and rational, evidence-based living. Growing up in a household that was steeped in magical thinking (from strict religiosity to MLMs to alternative medicine, etc.), I am indeed grateful for you taking the time and resources to put out such a quality podcast. Skeptoid is an important and appreciated part of my reality-based education. All the best.
- Larry Keim, Queen Creek, AZ

Thank god, if he or she or it exists, that there are people such as you Brian that have some common sense. We are not all doomed after all. A great podcast, i'm telling all my mates a cobber.
- wayne jones, australia

I just want to say that you have a great site and a great podcast. Keep up the good work and keep them coming.
- William Passmore, Massachusetts

I really love Skeptoid and recommend the blood for oil episode and cant wait for more Skeptoid.
- Robert E Dyas, 1821 N 29th street Lincoln,Nebraska

I love it. Thanks for this. Stayed up all night having downloaded the lot, and can't wait for your next podcast. Your podcast is the highlight of my week. The only day I wish my commute were longer. Thank you.
- Sacha Wheeler, London, UK

I really enjoy your podcast, its great to hear someone address this wide range of 'issues' in a clear, concise way.
- Brendan, Japan

I love to listen to your podcast “Skeptoid”. I’ve used some of your advice when talking to a creationist and it helped a lot. I didn’t change his mind, but at least I was able to defend myself. I’ll keep listening!
- Steve Parker, Raleigh, NC

I found this lovely little podcast recently on itunes and thought I'd give it a try. I listened to a few in bed and the next morning I downloaded EVERY SINGLE EPISODE. They're great, everything you say is delivered clearly, logically and in a very entertaining way! You must put alot of effort and research into these, your awesome! My friend was a big Nostradamus enthusiast and I kinda pissed her off by showing her your podcast. I listen to your podcasts at school and I think I learn alot more from you than my teachers who just sit and cry whilst the kids run around throwing paper balls and screaming. I'm 15 by the way.
- Josif Edmunds, Hastings, UK

Thank you for this podcast. I can tell you spend a lot of time on it. Thank you for dedicating so much time to rational thought. We need more voices like yours to stave off the coming of the second Dark Ages.
- Rare Todd, Atlanta

I *just* started listening to Skeptoid after stumbling on it in iTunes. It is, quite simply, the best of the 40+ podcasts I've sampled in the past week, and the only I've subscribed to that is not NPR, PRI, or HBO content. I love the content, delivery, focus, and sarcasm in every episode I've listened to so far, and have pulled everything available on iTunes to listen to more historical content.
- Randy Graham, Memphis, TN

Thank you for your format that does not have an intro. Some podcasts are 25% introduction, proposition, explanation of what a podcast it and how exciting it is. You are (probably, as I have it on good authority) 'da man.
- thomas, orlando

I recently discovered this podcast and was instantly hooked. It is a ray of logic and hope in an otherwise ignorant and worrying world. If everyone listened to just a few episodes I'm sure they would begin to think twice about much of the nonesense they are told to believe. Thank you.
- Michael Giddy, South Wales, United Kingdom

I'm a PhD student in the UK. I would just like to tell you how much I enjoy listening to your pieces. You have a great ability to explain scientific principles in a lucid, clear and entertaining manner. I wish more scientists (not just the general public) had the understanding of the scientific process you clearly do, and were able to apply it. I certainly have been educated by your podcast, and look forward to hearing more of it in the future.
- Ian Rickard, Sheffield, UK

Big skeptoid fan. Loved the nuclear energy episode. I'm trying to figure out how to restrain several of my friends long enough to make them hear the whole thing. Keep it up.
- Stu Venable, Pasadena, CA

I very much enjoy listening to your podcast. Your colorful yet logical point of view is very entertaining and informative. I particularly enjoyed listening to the episode on typical logical fallacies. It's very useful to be able to put a name to "Reductio Ad Absurdum" which my husband frequently resorts to when he is clearly losing an argument! Thanks!
- Amy, Atlanta, GA

I have been a listener to multiple podcasts for several years covering various categories including medical, technical, literary and personal. This is the first time a podcast has ever left me both angry and uplifted to the point of tears. This is not easily accomplished given that I am a somewhat callous ER physician and medical examiner. Thank you for doing what you do.
- John-Paul Jones MD, Lynchburg ,VA

Mainly, thank you. I listen to all of the podcasts but your #89 was especially outstanding. I have a similar dilemma right now with a family member & recent terrible diagnosis, who believes in alternative "medicine" more than chemo. Worries me endlessly about what to say. Your reply was best answer yet. I will follow your lead on this.
- c. a. coe, cambridge england

Brian, I just listened to #91 and wanted to post my own feedback. Recently, I have changed the way I view the world. I am constantly in search of the truth. Whether or not I agree with what you present in your episodes, I believe 100% that you are fighting the good fight. Keep up the good work!
- Chris Williamson, Chattanooga, TN

Since discovering your work on iTunes a few months ago I have anticipated and enjoyed every episode. I wish I could think of something really clever, as clever as your commentary, with which to compliment you, your thinking and your podcast. Alas, there are no bones big enough to throw you and even if there were I would be unable to heft 'em. Your podcast is true, fun, funny, illuminating - at times, dare I say it, inspiring. Funnier than Dr. Science; wittier than Dennis Miller. Please keep up the great (and valuable) work. I truly hope there are many many more installments in my future. I have to go now and support you by buying some swag & crap from your site. Thanks again.
- Stephen, Spring Green, Wisconsin

I have really enjoyed the podcast so far and I can't/won't shut up about to people in my life that need a healthy dose of skepticism. The first show on energy has not made me any friends. I think the arguments you give have been thought out and informed, but when I use them people think I am just being a smart ass. Keep it up.
- David Merchant, North Carolina

I'm a new listener, or, better put, a new fan. At first your sort of deadpan delivery and the shortness of the shows put me off, but I'm hooked now. Skeptoid is now on my short list of weekly must hear podcasts. Thank you.
- Paul Tollenaar, Eugene Oregon

Discovered skeptoid a few weeks ago and find it extraordinary and informing. I've downloaded all episodes and will have completed listening to them all by tomorrow. Wish there were more. I've also been sending them to about 90 other people on my mailing list on a 1 per day basis giving them an opt out option. Only 3 at this time have exercised their option not to "reboot their brains".
- bill, boulder city, NV

BRILLIANT! Simply brilliant! Please keep up the great work. I have Skeptoid playing in our technician studio and all the guys are loving it. 185 episodes of Skeptoid goodness to revisit.
- Jose Collado, Melbourne, Australia

I just wanted to say I love what you're doing. Even a ten minute weekly podcast can help change the way people think. I consider myself pretty skeptical, but now and then you bring up something about which it hasn't even occurred to me to think critically about. I have tried to do my part in spreading the word about your show: I work at a local Starbuck's. Since employees at our store drink for free, we often hang out on the store patio on our days off. Sometimes I will bring some portable speakers for my iPod and play my back episodes of Skeptoid while I relax. Rather than forcing the show on people, I let my friends and coworkers join me at the table. Invariably they will begin listening in and become quite interested. They tend to appreciate your tongue in cheek style, which in turn gets them interested in the topic at hand. The reaction after an episode will often be "how can people believe stuff like this?" These are not particularly skeptical people for the most part (though they are by no means gullible either). They are just normal folks. This shows that critical thinking, packaged in a short entertaining format, can effect positive change in peoples' attitudes. Keep up the good work.
- b. kelly, Alabama, US

Hi, Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your podcast. I was recently referred by a friend, and I've been busy working my way through all of your past episodes. I really enjoy how concise and focused your episodes are; it's quite a welcome contrast to some of the other podcasts I listen to that are an hour or more long. I also find that yours have quite a bit more "replay" value because of their small size. Anyway, keep up the good work!
- Brad, Alabama

I very much enjoy your Podcast, it is a great show, please keep it up, and thanks!
- Michael Kaestle, Hamburg, Germany

Just stumbled upon your website and I just had to share the link with my like minded friends. The wide range of topics from organic foods to WTC 7 are very, very interesting. It's good to know that someone out there is doing the research on these topics and using their common sense. Keep up the good work and I look forward to reading the bulk of your podcasts.
- Greg, Vancouver

I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic podcast. I am an English teacher at Heights Middle School and have been using your podcasts and the transcripts for my critical thinking and nonfiction unit. Along the way, we've been looking at a variety of subjects in a critical and skeptical way. I am pleased to say that my eighth grade students enjoy listening to you, and the short time frame of the podcasts helps keep their interest. After each episode, we discuss and analyze the paranormal claims that were mentioned. I have been very pleased with the amount of thinking and skepticism many are showing. If nothing else, your podcasts have helped my students at least think about the subjects in a different way. Hopefully, they won't accept a paranormal or unsubstantiated claim so quickly and will do some critical thinking and questioning. Again, my profound appreciation for the podcasts, their content, and the critical thought you encourage.
- Anthony Bartley, Farmington, NM

Hello Brian! I'm a 23 years old atheist and skeptic and, being a recent graduate of biological science I'm glad to see a larger and larger number of people interested by science and logical thinking. Keep up the good work Brian! I can't wait for "The Skeptologists" show to air!
- Harry Israel, Fort Lauderdale, Florida

I just wanted to take a minute to say how much I enjoy your show. My son gave me an iPod for Christmas, and shortly after I discovered your podcast on iTunes. Ever since hearing my first Skeptoid podcast I wait eagerly for the next one. I believe that what you do is a great of great benefit for people who will believe anything that the media throws at them. Thank you for your time, and efforts, and keep up the good work.
- Frank Ashley, Baltimore, Maryland

You do a splendid job, the subjects each week are relevent and your skeptical eye is cast with much humour and wisdom. I hope it pleases to know your podcast is being enjoyed by at least two students (i recommended you to a friend, too) in the valleys.
- Sam Davies, LLangollen, North Wales (NOT England)

Despicable Vulture Scumbags was an excellent episode, well thought out, articulated and very pointed. I appreciate your thoughts on the topic and I wish more people could hear what you have to say.
- Tom, Fredericksburg, VA

I really enjoy listening to Skeptoid - very refreshing. I especially like the health related episodes - I work in a medical field and find is soooo annoying when clients cannot stop telling me about how wonderful this or that alternative medicine / supplement etc. is. If it is so great I always wonder why they end up returning for real science based medicine in the end??
- Lee, Bahrain

Thank you for all of these excellent talks. More than any specific subject I enjoy the general viewpoint of not just believing in things that go against your own logic. This has been a great help. There are many others I hope to get to visit his site and give these a listen.
- Bob McArthur, Alfred, NY

Delicious morsels of reality. If only you could make into a snake bar and sell it. It would be the fastest way to achieve that critical thinking brain you always wanted!. Faster, slimmer, “Get the girl cerebral 6 pack in only 10 minutes a day and the bonus is that it would actually work!. Keep it rolling in Brian.
- warren mahy, New Zealand

Hi! I am an atheist and a skeptic. I have been doing youtube videos about these two subjects on youtube for some time now. i just recently found this podcast and subscribed to it. I am happy to say that I am amazed at how wonderful it is. I will comment about it on my next video to try to get you more subscribers. Congratulations!
- John, Mexico City

Just wanted to let you know that your podcast is incredible. A smart, young co-worker told me she was thinking of going to school to become a naturopath. I had her listen to 3 of your episodes on a road trip, and she returned with a different career idea. So, yes, your efforts do make a difference.
- jeff samyn, Petoskey, Mi

I listen to several skeptic podcasts and I find yours to be the most informative with just the right amount of time vested. Keep up the good work!
- Rolando Renteria, Weslaco, Texas USA

I am 59 years old. Occupation Structural engineer designing for hurricanes and earthquakes, etc. Your podcast iz very enlightening. I am an agnostic. I heard of your show when you were interviewd on skeptics guide to the universe. I doubted the integrity of your show at first glance thinking not another one. But i was pleasantly surprised.
- Rusty Robinson, Lake Panasoffkee, Florida

I can't really describe how much I enjoy listening to your podcast. I can only imagine and admire the amount of work and research behind each episode. Any chance of your book ever being translated to Portuguese? Thank you very much for your dedication and skeptical view.
- Antonio, Lisbon, Portugal

I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying your podcast. It's as entertaining as it is enlightening. I will try to get some of my friends to listen, but most will just call me a curmudgeon; a moniker I wear with pride. Please continue for many years to come.
- Martin Blanco, Newtown, CT

I recently purchased the book Skeptoid after subscribing to the podcast and its terrific. Thanks for the hard work you put into your material, it is appreciated and helps educate us all.
- Brian, Sunderland, MD

I want you to know how much I enjoy your podcast. You fit a lot of information into each episode. I find each one to be entertaining as well as informative. I actually used one of them (Skeptoid #83: The Detoxification Myth) to help me argue against a friend using such products. You do a terrific job. Thanks so much!
- Teresa Nunes, Meadow Lakes, Alaska

I would like to express how much I enjoy your podcast. It is nice to listen to you debunk some pseudo sciences as I sit in the middle of the bible belt.
- Sam L, Nashville Tennessee

Without doubt one of the best Skepticism podcasts around - pithy and no nonsence - makes great sence of all the nonsence - keep it up.
- Andrew Semple, Rugby UK

You are the most entertaining skeptic I've heard in a long while! I don't think you can make them fast enough for me! I've binged and listened to almost your whole catalog in the past 2 weeks! You've seriously impacted my energy! HA!
- Peter McArthur, Milford, PA

I heard Mr. Dunning's interview at SGU and I came to know about Skeptoid. I have downloaded almost 40 episodes in 3 days and i am really loving all the episodes, especially two episodes pertaining to logical fallacies. It was a breath of fresh air in an overall polluted environment of supernatural and paranormal things going around the world. You know i am from a place which is proud of being the birth place of highest number of religions in the world. So getting like-minded people is very difficult. Keep up the good work.
- Vijay Kishore, Mumbai, India

I have to say i really enjoy your quick and concise format related to a single topic per show. I discovered you from The Skeptics Guide to the Universe and once i started to listen, I was hooked and continued to listen through all episodes in a matter of days. My only complaint if there are not enough! So, quit your 'real' job and accept bigger payouts from your corporate paymasters and and take this puppy full time! Oh, and your eye looks a little red, I know of a great all natural homeopathic treatment that will do the trick!
- Jeremy, Manchester, NH

Outstanding podcast. I'm constantly impressed with the scope and depth you are able to cover with each topic in just a few minutes. I also enjoy your "tell it like it is" approach while inviting those with differing opinions to join the discussion through the forums. Keep up the fantastic work, it's clear you put a lot of hard work into your episodes and I really, really appreciate it.
- Steve Gazzoli, Seattle, WA

Wow Brian, I have been listening to numerous Skeptic Poscasts and Atheist shows for a while now. Why the heck didn't I listen to yours until recently. It's excellent, I like the format and how well you put the show together, nice clear easy to follow, not too long!
- matthew mcewan, Finland

I just learned about Skeptoid after hearing your interview on Skeptics Guide to the Universe. I have downloaded and listened to many of your episodes and it is now one of my favorite podcasts. Your brief, concise and well researched discussions of popular myths and pseudoscience are excellent. I am writing this to let you know that I am a fan of yours.
- Paul Raper, Manhattan Beach

Your podcast is the most entertaining on the net. I love it! Great topics. Also I love reading the comments from the "woo-woo's".
- Eric, Michigan

I have just discovered your podcast--thanks to your interview on the Skeptic's Guide. So I am playing catch-up and just listened to #65. Thanks for the program, keep up the good work.
- David Williams, Carlsbad CA

Really love downloading and listening to your podcasts down here in New Zealand. Keep up the great work. Thank you.
- Steven MacKenzie, Christchurch, New Zealand

Just to say my husband listens to skeptoid all the time and often tells me to listen. I have just started listening and have become a real fan. It has opened my eyes to just how much rubbish there is out there. Brilliant. I'll keep listening.
- Samantha Reed, Wiltshire, England

I LOVE Skeptoid!! It is brilliant, witty, and gives me comfort that there are reasonable voices out there in these seemingly unreasonable times. I become irrationally excited when I see a new episode downloading in my iTunes. Keep it up!
- Lizzie, Los Angeles

Just wanted to say thanks for a great show. Nice little nuggets of critical thinking, unadorned by much frills other than your wry sense of humor. Succinct, practical and regular. Keep up the excellent work.
- Carolyn P., Michigan

I love this podcast! Not only has it taught me how to think skeptically about all the crazy stuff I already know about but it has also taught me about tons of crazy stuff I could have never even dreamed of! Thanks Skeptoid!
- Diana, Austin, Texas

Hey Brian, your podcast has quickly become my favorite. I discovered it on the itunes website while playing with my new iPod. I was looking over a copy of the Farmer's Almanac last night and realized that it is fertile ground for the application of critical analysis.
- Anthony Underwood, Temple, Maine, USA

It is incredibly satisfying to find someone who thinks about the world in a way that I so clearly and completely relate to. For me it is reinforcement that we never have to accept anything on faith or for irrational reasons. Things we don't understand are simply that, things we don't yet understand. Being comfortable that we will understand them eventually is so much easier that seeking any bizarre made-up explanation. Brian, thanks for the great work and putting so much effort into the site and the podcast.
- Peter Frith, New Jersey

Congratulations on your podcast. Brief, concise, to the point and well researched as far as I can tell. All this packaged with enough humour and a bit of sarcasm makes it truly one of my favorites. Many thanks, well done.
- Gunnar Haid, Sydney / Australia

Love your podcast! It's great to hear someone speaking common sense as opposed to some of the the pseudo science one hears in the popular press. Remember that, at the end of the day, science always wins over superstition, religion and ignorance.
- Andrew Desmond, Sydney

Brilliantly excecuted, thoughtful and to the point. I also love the fact that you put up the written version. I have quite often referred to them when arguing specific points. Keep up the great work!
- Michael Goff, Mount Dora, FL

This is friggin' brilliant. When I first got my iPod, I was looking for stuff to put on it. I happened to come across the name "skeptoids" at first i was, well, skeptical. I have come enjoy this very much! I had my mother-in-law listen to your podcast about organic foods. BRILLIANT!
- Rudy Paez, Miami, FL

I'd like to register my support for your fantastic and clear-thinking podcast. Keep up the good work.
- Samuel Golten, Horsham, West Sussex, UK

Fab, love it ...keep up the good work
- Kyle Burrowes, Glasgow, Scotland

Your program helps me a lot to think many things more skeptically. I really appreciate your efforts on the podcast. Truth will stand (or now already standing). Thanks.
- Hangkyo Lim, St. Paul, Minnesota

Thanks for being a beacon of reason in a sea of ignorance. I find your podcast refreshing and rejuvenating and look forward to future episodes. I firm believer that the formula for a better world involves critical thinking, science, education and, of course, a hearty portion of skepticism. Thanks for helping fight the fight.
- Jon C, Green Bay, WI

At first the eyeball put me off, then I decided to look anyway and listen to one. I subscribed and enjoy the challenge to think, not just be lead around.
- Cathy McCarthy, Aurora Colorado

Your delivery is straightforward and just edgy enough. I actually look forward to driving to work so that I can listen to more. Your topics have sparked quite a few energetic conversations in our household. Despite my persistent ramblings to my wife, it only took one episode of Skeptoid to get her to see the light on "natural foods" and the true "nature" of organic food economics. Thanks for saving me hundreds of dollars in my food bill!
- John Gillespie, The Bluffs, Louisiana

Dear Brian-just short note to ell you how much I enjoy Skeptoid & to wish you & your family the best of health & happiness for 2008.
- Jim Gobert, Sydney, Australia

My hubby downloads your podcast faithfully on his beloved iPod. He plays the program while we are driving somewhere---anywhere. We DO love SKEPTOID and are fans of yours. Thanks for the intelligent reports and the obviously diligent research. Thanks for your time and talent!!
- Eric and Louise Jennings, 3320 Olympia Dr. Racine, WI 53406

Came upon your podcast a couple weeks ago. Thank you for what you do!!!
- Brandon George, Tempe AZ

The truth is out there...or, you could just download the Skeptoid Podcast.
- Mack Hall, Enterprise, Alabama

Just dropping you a line to tell you how much I enjoy your show. I grew up with a heavy interest in the paranormal and cryptozoology. I still keep an open mind but have found myself losing some of my belief due to lack of evidence. I listen to other podcasts that promote the paranormal view and I listen to your show to get another angle on various topics. I think this is what a lot of people lack, the ability to view opposite points of view and then make a decision. Keep up the good work.
- Ben, Riverside, California

Thanks for the podcast, it's truly great, really well done. Congrats!
- carlos lunetta, sao paulo, Brazil

Your program rocks! How can the audience help you beside, open the eyes of the "non believer"?
- jose paiva, miami, fl

I recently discovered the skeptoid podcast widget, and I've been listening to your podcast ever since. I've been working my way from the newest release to podcast number one, and I just heard your commentary on wheatgrass juice. I laughed out loud several times while listening to it. Thank you for inserting a little intelligent thinking into my day.
- Cari, North Carolina

I've been hooked since the Ann Coulter episode. Nice job. If you were in the room with me while I was listening to it, I would have jumped up and down squealing, "Now do Glenn Beck! Now do Glenn Beck." Seriously. You should do an episode on Glenn Beck. He sucks, too. I love Skeptoid, and I found you just in time to fill the void that Dogma Free America has left in my life.
- Nina Golden, Fort Rucker, AL

I have enjoyed your podcasts. The program reminds me of the attacking faulty reasoning class that I attended while in college. Do you have any suggestions for books on logic and reasoning?
- Sean Webb, Cruise Ship in Europe

I know from my earlier attempts that people telling you they like what you do is a push so I decided to give you a little push to continue, how minor it may be ;) just love your podcast :) found it on digg, and I continue digging every episode, and hoping that more people will find it, I'm also working on getting some more people to listen, thanks ;)
- Tor Erling, Oslo Norway

I have found and listen to many of the skeptical sites on the internet. Skeptoid is far, far superior to anything that I have found. The topics are great, Brian is an excellent communicator with a great voice and wonderful sense of humor. I check Skeptoid almost daily hoping to find a new podcast. I have sent links to friends and they are always greatful. Best of all, I have learned many wonderful things. Thanks a million.
- Bill Hillman, Marshall, TX

Love your show. Seen the current CNN video on UFO conference?

Love the show. I particularly appreciate the lessons, i.e. the evolution primer for creationists, the primer on scientific testing and the most recent magical journey through logical fallacies. I'm not a scientist so I appreciate your skill in presenting these ideas in a prosaic manner accessible to a layman like me. It's like school's in for the fledgling skeptic. Keep up the great work.

Your podcast is great! People today are constantly bombarded with newfangled products or ideas that we are told will solve everything that is wrong or negative in our lives. It is very refreshing to hear the unvarnished truth from a neutral party instead of having to rely on the pitch from the salesman trying to part you from your money.

I love your program, I am often stuck driving for work, and I welcome some mental stimulation. Keep up the good work, and I'll keep tuning in.

Words are powerful: We are losing the word battle in regard to EVOLUTION. We should take a page from the play book of the Republicans. They have used words over the last ten years to either demonize or certify certain words and concepts. They do this by having talking points that all their minions repeat verbatim. We have a problem of acceptance of evolution. A recent conversation I had illustrates this point. I was talking about the recent stories on MRSA and said that the bacteria have evolved because of our overuse of antibiotics. The physician I was talking to, a Christian, said “no you’re wrong they did not evolve they adapted.” After hitting my head against the nearest wall for 10 minutes I had an epiphany. We as scientists and skeptics are shooting ourselves in the foot by using the words adaptation and mutation as a verb: to adapt; or to mutate. We use these as code words for evolution because sometimes we are afraid to ruffle feathers. We should only use they word EVOLVE to express the verb of a organism’s DNA changing to meet environmental demands. With every scientist, science reporters and teacher doing this in a very rapid time we would see much more acceptance of evolution. I look toward you to help me on this crusade to bring rationality back into our lives. Please forward to any and all you feel would appreciate this.

I thought you'd get a kick out the following discussion my kids had at the dinner table tonight. My 10 year asked my 8 year old what he's going to be for halloween. He stoically responded by saying, "I'm going as Brian Dunning" My 10 year old questioned how he'd make this known without a costume. My 8 year old shrugged his shoulders so my 10 year recommended, "When they ask who you're supposed to be, just say "You're listening to Skeptoid. I'm Brian Dunning from Skeptoid.com" We all laughed. As you might guess we listen to Skeptoid quite often as a family.

Great podcast. Short and sweet, with a variety of topics. Don't change a thing.
