Skeptenfreude Generic Face Productions

Recorded 25 February 2024. Ms Ann and Richard try to ignore reasons why they only did one podcast in 2023 to discuss Skeptic Zone doing 800 episodes, a dud board game gift given to Ms Ann, a Tik-Tok paranormal debacle and the true reason why Kenny Biddle is now Richard’s new Skeptic nemesis, Alicia Keys vanishing bum note, Dyson vacuum cleaners, father & son gigs, shared office desks, SGU musical taste, Mega SUVs, a vestibule conversation, rejoining Toastmasters, when gays who kill are homophobic, forgetting the word dementia and death by frog toxin.  

Recorded 26 August 2023. Ms Ann and Richard ignore reasons why they haven’t done a podcast and in a new improved shorter episode format briefly discuss kissing at the Women’s Soccer World Cup, dead people and their twitter accounts, phones at urinals, shopping for milk, the real John Dory, Skeptics in the Pub, Woolies cameras, gender in chess, gender in general and Evan Bernstein.

Recorded 4 November 2022. Ms Ann and Richard briefly discuss the previous failed attempt at a podcast, how Richard got injured at a concert and the ALARP approach, thoughts of retirement given the decline due to aging, how can SGU and Richard Saunders do weekly podcasts, a long talk on Richard attending the Sydney Mind Body Spirit Festival (including his tarot card reading, some of the weird cult-like brochures that were handed out, and unfortunately meeting an ex-work colleague with a distinctive shaped head), the story of the lions escaping at Taronga Park Zoo, the Melbourne Cup, the local Parramatta culture, Bob Novella’s Forest of Fear, Poor Restaurant Service, the Turmeric Wager, Tattoo Ownership, an incident on a train, 360 Degree Videos on YouTube, and finally Queensland driving.

Recorded 31 July 2022. Ms Ann and Richard briefly discuss the Pauline Hanson and the welcome to Country, the daily prayer said each morning at Federal Parliament, a team building experience, a Dyson vacuum experience, Graggle Simpson, sleep paralysis and dog dreams, hottest day in England and how the naked ape has changed the world environment, a Will Durant quote wrongly attributed and the book it came from, lack of value for money of health insurance, anti-vax colleagues, the heavy rains, Sharon Hill hates everyone, a public urinal experience, and garden air blowers. They then go on a very longer discussion on gender and the purity spiral which at the end they are still none the wiser.   

Recorded 22 May 2022. Ms Ann and Richard discuss the new Australian Government and the associated fallout (i.e. Rowan Dean being a clown), how they voted, what they did and watched on the evening.  We then do a review of the book “Grains of Sands” by Brian J Cano, who impressed us at ParaCon all the way back in Episode #1 and in this podcast welcomed us into his Darkplace.  Finally, a quick run thru of combovers, how to buy a Genri, art appreciation, a podcast with Geraldine Turner, and ultimately how no one cares.

Recorded 3 April 2022. Ms Ann and Richard discuss the Skeptic Zone 700th episode, Russian tanks, the Australia Skeptic magazine, the next Australian Skeptic Conference,  Skeptics in the Pub (and other locations), Richard Saunders and his Great Australian Psychic Prediction Project (including water spill and Girl From Ipanema break), COVID lingers, the great Evan Bernstein of the SGU also does Board Gaming podcasts, SGU and daylight savings, teaching your son culinary choices, B&W movies, Will Smith vs Chris Rock, Brian Houston stands down, Number Plate logos and car stickers, the Bing homepage, and a rapid fire sampler of our future Brian J Cano book review.  We then conclude with a new segment: Garth Marenghi Darkspace Trivia.  This time we look as Episode One.
