Some pop foodies have many rules, and one of these is that certain common foods or ingredients

Hey everyone, Brian here.

A quick favor.

We are 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.

Also surveys are fun.

You get to talk about yourself.

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

I'm Brian Dunning from skeptoid.com.
