You're listening to the skeptics guide to the universe. Your escape to reality.

Hello and welcome to the skeptics guide to the universe. Today is Wednesday, June 15, 2016,

and this is your host, Steven Novella. Joining me this week are Bob Novella. Hey everybody,

Cara Santa Maria. Howdy. Jane Novella. I would prefer to be referred to as Captain Novella.

Yes, I know you would. And joining us as a special guest rogue this week is Richard Saunders.

Richard, welcome back, man. I'll get you one day Captain Novella. Thank you, sir.

Hi guys. Hi, Rogues. Hi. What's up, Richard? Hello. Hey, nice

Richard for you. It's Thursday morning, right? It is. It is. It's Thursday morning around about

10 a.m. I've dragged myself out of bed to be a guest rogue. I tell you why. I tell you why.

Because part of the job of being a podcaster is occasionally you have to do things that weird hours.

And you have to do podcasting at weird hours too. But so two, some hours ago at one two a.m.

I was interviewing Michael, Michael Marshall in Liverpool. So that's why I drag myself out of bed.

We're having Marshall on the show, I think next week. Excellent. He's got some good news about

homeopathy in the UK. But we'll get to that next week. Cool. I'm sure that's what you were talking

to him about as well. It was. Yeah. So I like to try and gizamp the SGU whenever I can.

You're always in the future. So we can never talk to you. That's true.

However, however, in one respect we're ahead of you.

And I understand that this coming Sunday is the skeptic zones 400th episode. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm catching up. I am catching up. I think it works in about three centuries. I'll overtake you.

But at the moment, yeah, coming up to episode 400, which is, you know, Steve represents no small

effort on the skeptic team to get that out. And I think in the almost eight years, the only time I

missed a week was show two. So it was show one. My memory tells me in the two weeks later show two.
