Forgive me listeners for I have sinned. I have made a factual error in a

skeptoid episode. Believe it or not, it does happen, but in my own defense, at least I do my best to

admit and correct the error, as I do with any that can be pointed out and verified. So please,

allow me to prostrate myself before you and admit and clarify some errors from past shows.

That's 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 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. Slips and Goofs.

As is the tradition here at Skeptoid, mistakes and misinformation are corrected whenever they're

getting the right answers is not as important as using the right methodology to find them. No

matter how hard I work, I'll only find the right answers most of the time, and it would be unscrupulous

of me to promise otherwise. So let's dig right into the most recent batch of errors that have been

pointed out to me and verified. Let's start with one that resulted in a popular uprising of

Scots, who nearly had me drowned in my favorite Ila Whiskey. The episode about the monster of

Gloms is centered on Gloms Castle in Scotland. However, in my opening paragraph, I said it's in

England. I've since received literally hundreds of emails correcting the error. Many containing

helpful analogies to guide me through my haze of ignorance, such as saying Gloms Castle is in

England is like saying the Statue of Liberty is in Canada. However, give me a chance to explain.
