Last month, Skeptoid did an episode dedicated to the myths and misconceptions surrounding blood donation.

And then a few weeks later, the Skeptoid crew made a trip to the Vancouver, Washington,

location of Bloodworks Northwest, to make our own donation.

Bloodworks also has a great podcast, which you may have heard me mention before,

called Blood Works 101.

Well, during our donation in Vancouver,

they decided to put a microphone in my face

as I gave my pint.

They actually made an episode out of it,

and we thought we'd go ahead and share that episode with you.

So without further ado, here's my interview with John Yeager from BloodWorks 101, as they

draw blood from me that will, as they assured me, help save a life.

Brian, my name is Eller.

I'll be helping you out today, so we're going to head down to

Screening Room 3. Come on with me.

Okay.

Hi, I'm John Yeager, and this is Bloodworks 101, the podcast designed by your friends here at Bloodworks

Northwest, in hopes that it'll inspire you to donate either time, money, or blood.

The voices you heard right there belong to one of our best phlebotomist,

Eller Ross, at our Vancouver Washington Donor Center. And the donor, Ella was working with,

is Brian Dunning, the host of one of my favorite podcasts, Skeptoid. Brian digs into the true

science behind our most popular urban legends. They describe Skeptoid this way.
