| Hey everyone, Brian from Skeptoid here. | |
| In an era where discerning the truth has become increasingly challenging, your support is vital. | |
| The global community is constantly bombarded with both information and misinformation, all too often from sources claiming exclusive access to the hidden truth or the untold story. | |
| Distinguishing between fact and fiction, real and fake news, and science and sensationalism has become a daily struggle. | |
| As a 501c3 non-profit organization, we here at Skeptoid Media have the luxury to be mission-driven and not profit-driven. | |
| Combating misinformation is our whole jam, and every contribution goes toward creating educational content centered around science and rational thought. | |
| To meet this educational mission, our content is accessible to everyone for free, but its production requires time, commitment, and resources. | |
| We have a small but mighty team here at Skeptoid. | |
| Your funding is instrumental in advancing our mission to promote scientific literacy and cultivate critical thinking skills. | |
| And right now, you can double the impact of your support. | |
| Our board of directors is offering a matching challenge. | |
| Every donation made between now and December 31st will be matched dollar for dollar. | |
| That's right, every donation, no matter how big and no matter how small, will be doubled. | |
| Your financial contributions helped bring to life the engaging and enlightening Skeptoid podcast, our other YouTube content including In Fact and The Feeding Tube, documentaries such as Science Friction, Here Be Dragons, Principles of Curiosity, and the UFO movie, They Don't Want You to See. | |
| The free teachers toolkit designed for educators. | |
| Free in-person presentations as well as movie screenings with Q ⁇ A and other community activities. | |
| By supporting Skeptoid Media, you join a community of critical thinkers dedicated to improving the world. | |
| Your donations, which constitute our primary source of revenue, are crucial to our success. | |
| We depend on your generosity. | |
| By donating, you also become a premium member. | |
| In addition to the ad-free premium extended version of the show, we'll also thank you with a free gift and more. | |
| Better yet, become a premium member by signing up with a regular monthly pledge. | |
| That ongoing support ensures Skeptoid Media can continue our work throughout the year. | |
| Those donations will also be matched by our board of directors as long as you sign up by December 31st. | |
| Regardless of the amount or timing of your donation, contributing to Skeptoid Media goes beyond supporting a podcast. | |
| It truly makes a positive impact on the world. | |
| It remains my great pleasure and personal honor to continue this work alongside all of you who make it possible. | |
| I'm Brian Dunning from Skeptoid.com. | |
