You're listening to Skeptoid. I'm Brian Dunning from Skeptoid.

Oh, yeah. Just you hold it right there. You listening to...

0:08.1

Yes? Is what we have to say about Skeptoid.

Hello friends. Galen from Kansas here. If you believe as I do and the critical importance of

cultivating a skeptically-minded and scientifically literate society, I urge you to join me in

proudly supporting Skeptoid with your tax-deductible contribution. All it takes is a few clicks,

1:49.7

to quit being an armchair skeptic and to support the community in a whatever small way I could.
