Skeptoid is a weekly podcast created by Brian Dunning, a computer software designer turned science writer, run in association with the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF), and partly inspired by The Skeptic's Guide To The Universe. Its subject is the 'critical analysis of pop cultural phenomena' and the investigation of the reality behind all kinds of pseudosciences, myths, urban legends or popular fads. It is generally much shorter than most other science podcasts at around 10-14 minutes per episode, mostly because the host had a regular day job for most of the duration of the show, but also to be easy to listen to and to appeal to a general mass audience.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })You may either read or listen to podcast episodes at the show's Web site. | |

Ban on Politics | |
| Skeptoid (Podcast) / int_74e2ca0a | comment |
Ban on Politics: "Skeptoid not Political-oid"-the show comes as close as realistically possible to being a-political in nature. Even when discussing Ann Coulter, Brian kept the discussion to her science rather than politics. This is also a source of criticism of the show, since economics and social issues are not immune to skepticism. | |

Deadpan Snarker: The podcast contains some of the finest dry verbal beatdowns anywhere in skepticism, although the host is apparently moving away from being snarky to opponents. | |

| Skeptoid (Podcast) / int_f6f2ff1 | comment |
Insult Backfire: Some of the more invective emails Brian reads from his viewers make the writer seem like a raving loon. This is most impressive when Brian patiently deconstructs fallacious logic and explains that even if every demented thing the correspondent has claimed about the world were true it still wouldn't change the scientific validity of what he said in the episode. | |
