About Skeptically Speaking
Skeptically Speaking encourages you to call in, and question everything.
We interview experts from various scientific and academic fields, and shine the light of logic on practitioners of alternative therapies, people with paranormal/supernatural “abilities” and other peddlers of pseudoscience.
With a little humour and a lot of curiosity, Skeptically Speaking guides its listeners through the sometimes complex, but always fascinating world of science and reason.
If it's Friday, 6pm MST where you are, you can listen to us live in Edmonton, Alberta on CJSR FM88.5 or online.

I'm a simple skeptic who does obsessive amounts of research on any topic that interests me. I'm not a scientist or academic of any variety, I simply believe in using curiosity and critical analysis to guide my life. I use Philip K. Dick’s words as a litmus test; "Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away."

"I've had a long-term love affair with science and technology. She can be complex, cruel and cold, but at her best she is dynamic, intense and inspirational. She draws me in with her promise to simplify my life, to ease the confusion, to stem the rising tide of irrationality. She...

A chance encounter with a "The moon landing was a hoax!" documentary, and the resulting google search, led to my discovery of the Bad Astronomy blog and Skeptic Magazine. And suddenly the world looked a little brighter.

First I discovered the wonders of critical thinking. Then I read Demon Haunted World, and realized that science was pretty awesome. This led to me becoming a physics undergrad at the University of Alberta, where when not in class, I am spreading the joy associated with critical thinking and science to all who will join me at the bar.

Although I am still fairly new to the skeptical community, skepticism has always been an important part of my life. I find myself continually awed by the marvelous advances that critical thinking has brought our understanding of the world and ourselves. Without science and skepticism, we are lost to a world of ignorance and supersition.
