Booking Overview

A weekly skepticism and science podcast featuring skeptical news, investigative reports, commentary, and interviews with scientists, skeptical investigators, science communicators, and prominent public intellectuals. Agencies could credibly pitch researchers, evidence-based health experts, science writers, and specialists who can address pseudoscience, paranormal claims, critical thinking, or scientific literacy; booking is likely high difficulty for top-tier guests but more accessible for established subject-matter experts.
