Skeptically Speaking – Website is Up

Hi everyone, the new Skeptically Speaking website is now live (though still a bit rough around the edges in a few places.) Well, what are you waiting for, go take a look.

Note: no new story-related blog posts will be added to this site from now on, though links to new episodes will continue to be for the next while to help transition things with our podcast subscribers.

Post-show Links: Media and Skepticism

Hi all,

Again, my apologies about the forced pre-taping of the show. It was done on extremely short notice and with a lack of sleep all around. The result was a very… non-linear… show structure.  So please do help us fill in the gaps.

Sean, Chris and myself are ready and able to continue this discussion in the comments below.

The resources we used for the show were:

CNN cuts science department

Environment Canada Scientists Censored

An actual skeptical article found in a mainstream paper

Study on the effects of media skepticism

Quantum Physics with Dr. Anton Capri – Photos

Hello all. I’ll be taking photos of guests from now on, and hopefully this will bring you closer to the experience. Yes: through the magic of static images, you’ll feel just like you’re there.

Dr. Capri’s portrait is partly lit with reflected green laser light, which is my tribute to the famous double-slit experiment.
