The South Atlantic anomaly, the very name conjures up fear and mystery.

What is it?

Is it real?

Is it a threat of some kind?

Well unfortunately, yes, it is real, and it does represent a danger.

But only a very specific danger, and probably not one you will ever need to worry about.

Today we are going to learn all about this impressively named region, and see how scared

we all need to be.

The South Atlantic anomaly is coming right up, unskeptoid.

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 scaptoid to take the survey today.

That's survey.prx.org slash SKEP TO ID.

Thanks.

You're listening to scaptoid.

I'm Brian Dunning from scaptoid.com.
