Skeptoid - Skeptoid: Bad Skepticism Aired: 2015-12-04 Duration: 01:15 === Introducing Bad Skepticism (01:15) === [00:00:00] Hello, this is Brian Dunning from the Skeptoid podcast. [00:00:03] Today I've got some good news for a few hundred lucky people. [00:00:06] I have a new live presentation called Bad Skepticism. [00:00:10] It talks about some of the huge mistakes skeptics have made, some terrible but popular so-called skeptical explanations for famous phenomena. [00:00:20] It's a lot of fun, covers a lot of ground, a lot of stories and urban legends you've heard of. [00:00:25] Best of all, it's packed with great lessons for students and for people in business in any industry. [00:00:32] And I'm giving it away free. [00:00:35] Skeptoid Media is waiving the fee for the first three live shows. [00:00:39] Anywhere, just cover the travel costs. [00:00:42] As soon as you see three listings for bad skepticism on the live shows calendar at skeptoid.com, you'll know the three free ones are taken. [00:00:50] So act fast if you want one for your group. [00:00:53] Minimum 50 attendees. [00:00:55] We're doing this so we can refine the show and make it as good as it can be for all the other audiences thereafter. [00:01:01] Email me at brian at skeptoid.com and let's have some fun and learn some lessons from bad skepticism. [00:01:09] Until then, you're listening to Skeptoid. [00:01:12] I'm Brian Dunning from skeptoid.com.
