Customer Reviews
The definitive skeptical podcast
Well researched and informative
About average for accuracy-It's an amusement.
Dunning comes off with the booming voice of an authority, but his ability to separate fact from scientific snowjob is weak. Case in point: He considers organic foods a "fad," despite 10-12,000 years of human farming whih was all organic. He's been led astray by the seed genomics companies, and doesn't have the scientific background to sort things out. But he's had trouble before, with his wire fraud conviction and prison terms, so he's not always right. Overall, an amusing podcast, but not as a 100% accurate, unbaised source.
Love
I see in the comments that there are other people who agree that the less you cover the crazy stuff like aliens and Sasquatch etc. and the more real world stuff you do the better the podcast is
