It is Thursday the 27th of November 2025, and you're listening to Skeptics with the K,

the podcast for Science, Reason, and Critical Thinking.

Skeptics with the K is produced by Skeptic Media in association with the Merseyside

Skeptic Society, a non-profit organization

for the promotion of scientific skepticism on Merseyside around the UK and internationally.

I'm your host, Mike Hall.

With me today is Marsh.

Hello.

And Alice.

Hello.

So we've been doing this podcast for quite a long time now.

Yes.

August, 2009.

The first that we recorded the first episode in July 2009.

The first episode went out on the 1st of August.

First of August, 2009.

And in that time, we've covered quite a lot of topics,

and some of them we've covered a few times.

We've done a lot of novel and different things

that other people aren't really talking about. And we've done some classic skepticism stuff as well. And there's also a lot of stuff that I think we've left on the table, at least in part, because it's stuff we assume that everybody knows about. Like cryptids. We never really touch cryptids. I don't think that's because we assume people know stuff about it, though. It's just because it's not any one of our particular interests. Yeah. Like, I think cryptids are really cool and interesting. I like hearing about them from other people, but I'm not interested enough to research about them. Yeah, and I wouldn't really know where to start bringing anything of any value to the conversation when there's other people who do fantastic work.

Who do great work on it. Exactly, yeah.

Similar ghosts.
