Customer Reviews
Sapere aude!
Your best ally in the never ending battle against magical-thinking, conspiracy theory peddlers and all manner of irrational nonsense. Thank you, Mr. Dunning.
Long winded
Sceptoid used to be very short presentations of beliefs, controversies, and ideas about which many people are in error. Now the show seems much longer with what seems like a third of the program advertising and self promotion.
I disagree that ads and hyping a podcast to those who are already listening to it is effective. In fact, it is insulting. And I particularly dislike the ending when someone from Santa Fe (?) or somewhere I don’t care about continues the promotion with his own endorsement.
Love!
The whole truth and nothing but the truth! Fabulous!
