Description
Educate thyself! The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe .

I'm finally within four episodes of the first podcast... *pant* *pant*

Usually insightful, always funny. Honestly it changed my life. I've given up so many sacred cows in these past two years... There are an awful lot of pro/anti science stamps, but I was sad at the lack of specifically skeptical ones.

This isn't a statement on religion. I'm not religious, but I've never been anti-religion. I'm pro-science. I don't consider the two mutually exclusive. The Skeptic's Guide, similarly, is not an "atheistic" podcast, rather it simply concerns itself with issues of science and evaluating pseudo-scientific claims. (There are, in point of fact, many religious people in the skeptical movement .)

Other podcasts and sites I like in this vein:
Skeptically Speaking . I enjoy this one a lot. They had Randall Munroe on and featured Jonathan Coulton's music. *squee*
Skeptoid . We don't always agree, but he always gives me with a lot to think about.
Skepchick . A bunch of kickass skeptical women and one dude.
Skepticality
Astronomy Cast . This podcast is just very nice to listen to. It's centered more around science than skepticism specifically, but I discovered them through the SGU.

Evaluate claims based upon their merits. Of course, this is easier to do with a skeptical toolkit.
