Imagine a time in your life when you were closest to death, perhaps it was outside.

Perhaps it was remote, maybe you were cold and hungry and tired.

Whenever it was, when you felt most alone and most in need of a helping hand, did one

even though there might not have actually been anyone there.

The third man factor is today 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.

For listening to Skeptoid, I'm Brian Dunning from Skeptoid.com.
