Skeptoid: Bad Skepticism

# urban legends travel costs skeptoid media bad skepticism brian dunning live presentation minimum attendees skeptical errors skeptical explanations

Brian Dunning announces his new live presentation, "Bad Skepticism," a free event for the first three shows where attendees cover only travel costs. Organized by Skeptoid Media, this program requires a minimum of 50 participants to examine significant errors made by skeptics and flawed explanations for famous phenomena, including urban legends. Dunning aims to refine the show before broader release, inviting interested groups to email brian@skeptoid.com to secure spots once listings appear on the calendar at skeptoid.com. Ultimately, this initiative seeks to improve skeptical discourse through direct audience engagement and iterative feedback. [Automatically generated summary]
