Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe is the weekly Podcast of the New England Skeptical Society (NESS) in association with the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF), hosted by Dr. Steven Novella, Robert Novella, Cara Santa Maria, Evan Bernstein, and Jay Novellanote and formerly by Perry DeAngelis, who passed away in 2007, and Rebecca Watson, who left the show amicably at the end of 2014. It is dedicated to covering the latest news on controversial claims, paranormal events, and fringe science, and they spend most of the show shedding light on whatever unscientific and illogical things they find while discussing events in the skeptical movement.Not to be confused with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, though the podcast was named as a tribute to it.Inspired the creation of the Skeptoid podcast.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Left It In: The podcast started off very PG, as the host Steven Novella would edit out profanity. The show has gradually gotten more adult thanks in part to this trope. In particular when dealing with guests. Steve Novella almost never bleeps out profanity from a guest, no matter how bad, likely as a matter of principle.

Bigfoot, Sasquatch and Yeti: Unidentified animals and hoax monsters will occasionally pop up in the news, but no one on the show ever really takes them seriously.

Brief Accent Imitation: Almost everyone hosting has slipped into a British accent on occasion. Its also a "rule" that whenever a guest-host is serving as the Rogue for the week, they must do this at least once in the show.

The Host: There's Bob, Rebecca, Cara, Evan, and Jay, but its pretty obvious that Steven is the one in charge. He also hosts the Science or Fiction segment, while everyone else plays along.
