The cosy robot show.

Hey, cosy robots, I'm Mike McCarg.

And I'm Grace Bond.

And if I look different, and if I sound different,

don't adjust your eyes or your ears immediately before the show,

both my audio interface that I've used since the first episode of

Ask Science Mike in 2014, and my camera stopped working.

So we are on a speaker phone for my voice and a webcam for my videos.

If it looks and sounds different, that's just for this week.

Next week, we'll be back to normal, and welcome to the cosy robot show,

where we talk about empathetic skepticism,

which is how we get in touch with our feelings and understand

other people's feelings and have empathy for them,

as well as having a critical look at the world,

where we use our minds to understand biases in our own views and media,

and in general, try to figure out how to build a better world together.

And wow, this is wild.

No headphone for my component.

I feel either so free or so terrified and not sure which.

I was going to say, it might feel a little freeing to not be

burdened by the headphones and the mic in the sitting in the right position,

and I don't know.
