The Pseudo Scientists – Episode 45 In this episode of The Pseudo Scientists, the official podcast of the Young Australian Skeptics, Belinda, James and Richard discuss the Real Australian Sceptics and Australian anti-intellectualism, and read out some listener emails from California, New Zealand and Finland. Plus, I get mentioned! Because I have a funny accent. No other reason. This week’s “Houston, We Have A Problem” clip is a sample of the enlightened views of Rev.

Everybody1 loves it, especially if it’s by the wonderful George Hrab. So, as members of the set Everybody, I know you’ll love this new music video for his song “God Is Not Great”. Choirs of atheists? Ray Comfort being devoured by crocoducks? Zombie Jesus? What more could you want? Nothing, that’s what. Also, check out the interview with the creator of the video, Octavio Valdes, over on the Young Australian Skeptics! – - – - [...] The Pseudo Scientists – Episode 27 Episode 27 of the official podcast of the Young Australian Skeptics, The Pseudo Scientists, is now online!

Seriously, it was an awesome show, so make sure you have a listen. There’s also a video of part of the gig up in the iTunes feed for the podcast, which you can also watch here if you want. What are you waiting for? [...] » Continue reading “The Pseudo Scientists, George Hrab’s Melbourne gig special episode out now!” If you missed the live streaming of Saturday’s Skeptically Speaking episode featuring Jason Ball, Elliot Birch and myself from the Young Australian Skeptics, you can now download it as a podcast from either the Skeptically Speaking website or iTunes! I’ve been told by a few people who listened live that apparently it was one of the best shows of the year so far, if not the best, so, er, yeah. You might want to listen to it. I mean, you don’t have to if you [...] » Continue reading “The Young Australian Skeptics on Skeptically Speaking – podcast out now” Along with Jason Ball and Elliot Birch (we’re all from the Young Australian Skeptics), I’m going to be interviewed live on the Canadian skeptical radio show and podcast Skeptically Speaking tomorrow at 10am EST (Australia), or Friday 6pm MST (North America). We’ll be chatting with the lovely and wonderful Desiree Schell, the host of Skeptically Speaking, about young people in the skeptical movement – how they’re getting involved, what more can be done to engage them, how young people see skepticism, and a [...] » Continue reading “I’m going to be on Skeptically Speaking!” Creationists on the University of Melbourne campus! Today! Handing out Ray Comfort’s “Special Edition” of On the Origin of Species! I first knew something was up when, while waiting for a lecture to start, I saw a student holding a copy of the book. I asked her where she’d got it, and she said that people were handing them out near the university tram stop. Yep, it had to be them – Ray Comfort clones, doing what they do best – spreading ignorance through the medium of semi-persuasive [...] » Continue reading “Stepping into a new (Ray) Comfort zone” Last year, the Young Australian Skeptics started to put together an anthology of the best skeptical blog posts of 2009, calling for people to submit entries – either their own or the work of others – that they thought were worthy of consideration. Well, the final selections of the panel of judges has been released, including – somewhat surprisingly – a post by yours truly. “What is Philosophical Naturalism, and why [...] » Continue reading “Final YAS Blog Anthology 2009 selections announced” Yep, I mentioned it a while ago, but it’s finally up. Jason, Elliot and I (of the Young Australian Skeptics) were interviewed by Kylie Sturgess for the Skeptic Zone podcast about being young in the skeptical movement, blogging as a communicative medium and our own experiences in the wild world of podcasting. It was a fun interview to do, as we all know Kylie, so we had a few laughs. Skepticism can do with a bit of youthful humour sometimes, can’t it? If you’re an impatient person, here’s [...] » Continue reading “Interviewed on the Skeptic Zone podcast? I do believe I was!” |
