This week, we're doing a throwback to episode 021 with a #RadRewind of our interview with Dr. Lawrence Krauss! Dr. Krauss is an internationally known theoretical physicist, who currently works as a Foundation Professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration and Physics Department, and Inaugural Director of the Origins Project at Arizona State University. He is the author of numerous papers and ten popular books, including A Universe from Nothing (http://amzn.to/2zmcdFP).  Get an ad-free version of the show, and early access to every episode, by becoming a patron at: https://patreon.com/tSEpodcast Or, shop using our Amazon affiliate code (at no cost to you!) by clicking this link: http://tiny.cc/tSEpodcast Why we love the internet: @Cool_as_heck on Twitter!

Episode 071! This week, it's just us. We talk about a lot of things, including harassment, cyberstalking, and social justice that's surrounded Dan, Natalie, and others over the past year, that seemed to spike in intensity subsequent to us making the radical suggestion in episode 035 that you probably shouldn't punch people due to ideological reasons. Irony, thy name is extremist "social justice" advocates.

In this episode, Natalie talks to Ron Miscavige about his escape from the Church of Scientology after over 4 decades as a member. We, along with our fellow podcasters from The League of Nerds, are putting a call out to our listeners to help fund our friend Dr. Chad Hayes' trip to a conference of quacks (Mercola! Wakefield!) in Florida. (Note: Extra funds raised from the campaign will go Voices for Vaccines, not the Gates Foundation, as stated in the episode.) And, finally, Nat shares her QED experience, which includes the life lesson, “Burger King is no place to find what you're looking for.” Links ?A Doctor Says Quack: https://gofundme.com/doctors-who-rock Debunked by Haiku: https://twitter.com/DebunkedByHaiku Ron Miscavige on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MiscavigeRon Ron Miscavige: https://therealronmiscavige.com Be sure to check out Ron's book: http://amzn.to/2l0v0Ui tSE on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tSEpodcast

Tonight's episode of The Science Enthusiast podcast is brought to you by the need for the CDC to be allowed to actually research gun violence. Because we just experienced the worst mass shooting in the United States. And because of the state of things, I almost typed “so far” at the end of the previous sentence, as if there's inevitably going to be something more terrible. Because this is how fucked it feels - how much worse does it need to get before something is done to prevent future tragedies? Dan attended the much-discussed Mythcon, and shares his thoughts with Nat. Quote of the Week: "We are our only chance in the world." (Bayside) Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tSEpodcast Links: http://ascienceenthusiast.com/gun-violence-public-health-crisis/ https://www.facebook.com/BatmanandJesus/ https://www.reddit.com/r/mowerthoughts/top/?sort=top&t=all      

We welcomed one our favorite people in the Twitterverse, Mary Mangan, to the show to discuss science activism in the age of Trump.  Quote of the Week: "Extinction is the rule. Survival is the exception." (Carl Sagan) Relevant Links: Mary Mangan on Twitter  Why We Love the Internet: Terribly Weird Fashion  Note: This interview was recorded on May 31, and our beginning and ending banter was recorded a couple weeks ago. We ended up posting our "Mythcontroversy" and Thomas Smith episodes before putting Mary's online because those other two seemed more timely, and our interview with Mary falls under the umbrella of "evergreen content," in our opinion. 

We welcomed Thomas Smith to the show, and discussed skepticism, Mythcon, and who's deserving of platforms. Plus, we tell a new God of the Week story, and finish off by talking about the radness of Eli Bosnick.  Like what we're doing?
