Skeptoid is a well done podcast about endless topics which are picked apart by Brian Dunning, who often uses crowd sourced research in addition to his own solo research. I’ve always learned something from his episodes. In some areas of his discussion, where i consider myself something of an expert, Brian comes very close to expressing entirely accurate viewpoints and takes. This is remarkable, given the variety and breadth of knowledge he must tackle across the years. He won’t lead you astray, and always updates his listeners with any mistakes he may have made. He’s been doing this for years. Very good!
