Episode 54 of The Pseudo Scientists: Curiosity on Mars, the London 2012 Olympics, and an interview with Jay Novella

The Pseudo Scientists – Episode 54

In this episode of The Pseudo Scientists, the official podcast of the Young Australian Skeptics, Belinda, Richard, new panel member Tom Lang and I dive into the disparate worlds of the Curiosity Mars Rover landing and the 2012 London Olympics. Plus, Ted interviews Jay Novella, one of the hosts of the influential and renowned Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe podcast, on the link between skepticism and atheism, how the SGU got started, and how to live life as a skeptic.

Jay Novella’s podcast, The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe, is available on iTunes and on its website – but you knew that already, right?

The video of the gymnast’s parents that Richard referred to in this episode can be seen here.

This week’s “Houston, We Have A Problem” clip is the Turbo Encabulator. Sadly, it’s a parody. But it’s an hilarious parody.
