Brian Dunning announces the release of his fourth book, Astronauts, Aliens, and Apemen, tackling myths from Stalin's super soldiers to Mozart's alleged murder by Salieri. Available for $5 on Kindle or as a paperback, the volume also promotes The Secret of the Gypsy Queen, an illustrated children's tale teaching skepticism through a girl who rejects pseudoscience. Dunning concludes by debunking the claim that Uber scarfs are a con, reinforcing the show's mission to separate fact from fiction while offering accessible resources for non-listeners.

Skeptoid's Fourth Book Released00:01:55
Hi, this is Brian Dunning.
Great news from the Skeptoid podcast.
The fourth book, Astronauts, Aliens, and Apemen, is now available.
This book gives you the tools to sort the solid from the silly and answer such questions as, did Stalin actually try to create an army of half-ape, half-man super soldiers?
Were the Apollo astronauts followed by a UFO all the way to the moon?
Was Mozart really murdered by Antonio Salieri?
Is there such a thing as ball lightning?
Can martial arts masters kill without touching?
Is an alien buried in the local cemetery in Aurora, Texas?
Just search Amazon.com or come to skeptoid.com slash books to get your paperback copy today.
It's also available for your Kindle, Nook, or iBooks for just $5.
Astronauts, Aliens, and Apemen.
It's the perfect gift for that woo-woo friend of yours who doesn't listen to podcasts.
Also, I see all, big and small, I see everything you do, and I'm going to make sure everyone ceased to.
The Secret of the Gypsy Queen, the musical fairy tale from Skeptoid episode number 300, is now available as a fully illustrated children's paperback.
Artwork by Jesse Horn.
It's the tale of a little girl who saves her kingdom when she is the only one who doesn't buy into the pop pseudoscience of the day.
It's a wonderful, positive story that teaches children the value of skepticism.
Lots of fun to read and look at the pictures while listening to the musical.
The Secret of the Gypsy Queen is also available at skeptoid.com slash books.
