Celebrating Twenty Years of Skeptoid
00:02:48
|
|
| A quick reminder for everyone, you're listening to Skeptoid, revealing the true science and true history behind urban legends every week since 2006. | |
| With over a thousand episodes, we're celebrating 20 years of keeping it focused and keeping it brief. | |
| And we couldn't have done it without your curiosity leading the way. | |
| And now we're even offering a little bit more. | |
| If you become a premium member, supporting the show with a monthly micropayment of as little as $5, you get more Skeptoid. | |
| The premium version of the show is not only ad-free, it has extended content. | |
| These episodes are a few minutes longer. | |
| We get rid of the ads and we'll replace them with more Skeptoid. | |
| The extended premium show available now. | |
| Come to Skeptoid.com and click Go Premium. | |
| Hey everyone, Brian from Skeptoid here. | |
| I want to tell you about something very cool you're going to notice in the next few episodes. | |
| In my 19-year career as a skeptical podcaster, I've met a lot of people, a lot of extraordinary people, including many of you listening right now. | |
| I've been to a lot of super cool places. | |
| I've become friends with a lot of the best in the business, in half a dozen countries, in exotic locations, and places where I needed a security clearance, even to places where I had to sign a non-disclosure so I can't even tell you. | |
| And yes, that is actually true. | |
| The bottom line here is I've felt a tiny bit guilty that I haven't been able to share everything Skeptoid has done for me with all of you. | |
| So, what you're going to hear over the next couple months are a lot of new guest hosts interspersed with my own regular Skeptoid episodes. | |
| Not one of these guest hosts is an unknown Rando. | |
| Every one of them is a much-beloved, much-trusted colleague in this shared mission we all have of moving the world population away from anti-facts and toward facts. | |
| From fake history toward real history. | |
| From anti-science toward real science. | |
| Please enjoy these good friends spreading the same message we all care about so much. | |
| Each of them, at the end of their guest presentation, will tell you where to find and follow them. | |
| Take them up on it. | |
| And above all, enjoy. | |
| You're listening to Skeptoid. | |
| I'm Brian Dunning from Skeptoid.com. | |

From Fake History to Real Science

| Hello, everyone. | |
| This is Adrian Hill from Skookum Studios in Calgary, Canada, the land of maple syrup and moose. | |
| And I'm here to ask you to consider becoming a premium member of Skeptoid for as little as $5 per month. | |
| And that's only the cost of a couple of Tim Horton's double doubles. | |
| And that's Canadian for coffee with double cream and sugar. | |
| Why support Skeptoid? | |
| If you are like me and don't like ads, but like extended versions of each episode, premium is for you. | |
| If you want to support a worthwhile nonprofit that combats pseudoscience, promotes critical thinking, and provides free access to teachers to use the podcast in the classroom via the teacher's toolkit, then sign up today. | |
| Remember that skepticism is the best medicine. | |
| Next to giggling, of course. | |
| Until next time, this is Adrienne Hill. | |
