One nice thing about making stuff up about remote parts of the world is that it's really

unlikely anyone will have firsthand experience with which to refute you.

Today we're going to talk about two made up things about real places, and those are

the Sargasso Sea, the middle of the Atlantic, and the Pacific Garbage Patch, the middle

of the Pacific.

How many people have visited those in person?

It's coming up next, Unskeptoid.

Hey everyone, Brian here, a quick favor.

We're conducting an audience survey.

We'd be really grateful if you could take just a few minutes and answer our survey.

This is the kind of thing that's sort of an engineering and marketing necessity to make

the whole free podcast ecosystem flourish, so please check it out.

Those surveys are fun.

You get to talk about yourself.

Please visit survey.prx.org slash skeptoid to take the survey today.

That's survey.prx.org slash SKEPTOID.

Thanks.

You're listening to Skeptoid.

I'm Brian Dunning from Skeptoid.com.
