Next show: atheists in foxholes
Okay, for reals this time.
On the next show we’re going to discuss atheists in foxholes. You know what they say, that there’s no such thing.
Well Paul Welke says hogwash.
Welke is a retired Canadian Forces Master Corporal and an atheist. He’ll be joining us this week to talk about how atheists are treated in the Canadian military and what godless heathens think about when they’re scared.
Q Transmissions, 6 p.m. MST on CJSR – online or FM 88.5
Helen Fisher show postponed!

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:
Environment Canada Scientists Censored
Next Show: Media and Skepticism
This week we’ll be speaking to local skeptics Chris Wisely and Sean Ouimet about how science and skepticism is affected by, and is portrayed in, the media.
Sorry, all. Due to the unfortunate intrusiveness of life, this will be a pre-taped episode and we won’t be taking calls. We do, however, encourage you to post your questions and comments after the post-show links are up. This is an important topic that we won’t do justice in an hour, and we’re relying on you to fill in the blanks. We’ll be online and waiting patiently for your insightful and scintillating discussion.
Talk to you Friday.

You know that time where I said that shows would be ready for you to download by noon every Saturday?
Let’s just consider this a lesson in being skeptical of the media.
Shows will be hereby be posted Saturdays “at some point”, until I figure out a schedule that works for me.
Thanks all, I appreciate your patience.
Hail Satan! (some post-show links)

Meet our Photographer, Marc-Julien Objois
As you may have noticed from the photos in the preceding posts, the talented (and skeptical!) Marc-Julien Objois has kindly consented to be the official Q Transmissions photographer.
You’ll see his work grace the pages of our fair blog on a semi-regular basis; primarily when our interviews are in-studio.
Feel free to repost the pictures, but please credit the photographer when you do.
Thanks so much to Marc for wanting to be a part of the show… and for making us look good.
