I also want to thank all of the listeners, I have kind of figured out that it seems most of you are already skeptics and science enthusiasts, which I never expected. I am honored to have such a high caliber audience and want to do a good job of serving you guys with this show.

The next episode will feature Dr. Steven Novella from the Neurologica Blog, the Science Based Medicine Blog, the Skeptic’s Guide to the Universe, and Yale Medical School.

I interview Bug : blog author, entomologist, and skepchick!

On this episode we examine the world of bugs, which happens to be all around us, and on us!

Correction:

Lice, crablause and otherwise, are not chelicerates, they are true insects! This was my error, I called them chelicerates because most mites are chelicerates, but crabs and head lice are insects. I’ll open the next episode of the podcast proclaiming this correction.
