You're listening to the skeptics guide to the universe.

You're escape to reality.

So right now we are Haytors live podcast of skeptics guide universe SGU.

SGU is eight years old and for each and every one of those eight years it has been

consistently in the top ten science podcasts on I-Tools to get over a hundred thousand

listens every week.

Over the past four years every year winners of the People Choice Awards either for science

or for education.

It's a pretty damn good record and pretty great for listening to.

I'm going to introduce sort of the ringleader of the posse to you and then he will introduce

the rest of his cohorts and most you already know him.

He's an academic clinical neurologist at the Yale University School of Medicine.

He's the president and co-founder of the New England skeptical society who along with

New York City skeptics are the co-creators and co-producers of Nexus.

He's also the host and producer of skeptics guide to the universe.

The super neurological blog covers news and issues in neuroscience but also general science,

scientific skepticism, philosophy of science, critical thinking and the intersection of

science with the media and society and I highly recommend that blog.

He also contributes every Monday to the skeptic blog every Wednesday to science based medicine,

a blog dedicated to issues of science and medicine and based on his sheer volume of output

I believe he has solved the mystery of how to live without sleep.

But he refuses to tip me the secret.
