  1. Mondo Diablo Episode 356 * Beware the Yeti

    Arthur C. Clarke’s Mysterious Universe hunts the elusive Yeti, and I go off on a feminist rant. So shrill. So goddamned shrill.

  3. Skeptoid episode 222: Toil and Trouble: The Curse of Macbeth

    They simply call it "The Scottish Play", because even to utter the title of Shakespeare’s Macbeth is to invite bad luck. The very same bad luck, in fact, that has plagued performances throughout its history, according to theater lore.

  4. Skeptoid episode 219: Stalin’s Human-Ape Hybrids

    It was the Soviet dictator’s dream: Soldiers with no fear, with superhuman strength and endurance, who would follow any order, eat anything, and ignore pain or injury. Workers who could do the labor of ten men without complaint, with no thought of personal time off, and no desire for pay.

  5. Skeptoid: Some new logical fallacies

    One of the most popular Skeptoid episodes ever was my early two-parter, A Magical Journey through the Land of Logical Fallacies. In it, we looked at some of the most common fallacious ways to argue a point; in essence, the use of rhetoric as a substitute for good evidence.

  7. Skeptoid # 213: Mozart and Salieri

    The legend first entered the public consciousness, in a significant way, with the 1984 movie Amadeus. In it, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was killed by his jealous rival, the court composer Antonio Salieri. Salieri cleverly took advantage of Mozart’s fondness for drink, his financial crisis, and his obsession with pleasing his deceased father, and tricked Mozart into working himself to death.

  8. Skeptoid: Things About Which I Have In Error Been

    Every so often I need to nudge myself back onto the straight and narrow. When you catch an error in a Skeptoid episode, let me know, and if I can verify that you’re right, I’ll gladly include the correction in an episode like this one. Of course most of the suggested corrections I receive are like "My very reliable Uncle Bob saw a UFO once, so you should retract your episode about Roswell." I can’t do that, because the government pays me to keep that covered up; but here are some others where the corporate paymasters’ checks either bounced or were short.

  9. Skeptioid: The North American Union

    Today we’re going to put on our cheap suits, stick earpieces in, and join the legions of multinational Secret Service agents flowing out among the populace of Canada, the United States, and Mexico; as the borders disappear and we round up a unified population into forced socialism under martial law in our gigantic new pancontinental police state.

  10. Skeptoid: The Westall ‘66 UFO

    From http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4208

    Melbourne, Australia, 1966. A sunny, breezy day in autumn, April 6 to be exact. Field sports were underway for a morning class at Westall High School. A few students saw it first, and then a few more. They described it as a disk, gray or silver, about the size of two family cars, and about four football fields away.
