In this episode, we talk to Michael Marshall. Michael is the project director for the Good Thinking Society and the Vice President of the Merseyside Skeptics Society. He recently spoke in Sofia about the campaign against NHS homeopathy funding his team organized. In this episode you’ll hear us discuss: - How can we promote rational thinking in the media by abiding to the narrative needs of journalists - What can skeptics do to make their events more inclusive? - What are the weirdest beliefs Michael has heard on his podcast “Be Reasonable”? Listen to this talk about public policy, flat and hollow earth, and the Venusian ships Nazis used. --- You'll find the show notes at ratio.bg/podcast/25 We want to thank our sponsors from SBTech - you can learn more about them at sbtech.com/careers If you like the podcast, you can support us at patreon.com/ratiobg

Thanks for listening. You’re the reason I do this.In Episode 10 we take a good close look into homeopathy. What we see is not pretty.Here are the resources that I refer to in the podcast:This Dr. Stephen Barrett’s website, Quackwatch – if you have never visited, you are missing out on a powerful and important voice in medical skepticism! https://www.quackwatch.org/index.htmlThis Dr. Barrett’s article on the subject of homeopathy – it is solid gold. https://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/homeo.htmlHere is the Merseyside Skeptics Society – an inspiring organization, and arch-enemy of British homeopathy. This is one place to find Michael Marshall (Marsh) and the home some really awesome skeptical podcasts (“Skeptics with a K”, “Re Reasonable”, and “inKredulous”) http://www.merseysideskeptics.org.ukThis is a link to one of the British Homeopathic Association publications referenced in the podcast. Read with care, it’ll give you a bad headache. https://www.britishhomeopathic.org/evidence/the-evidence-for-homeopathy/This was one of my sources for tracking down the “evidence” for homeopathy. You should read a few of the articles if you want to get a feel for the kind of evidence homeopathy is using. https://homeopathyusa.org/uploads/Homeopathy-Research-Evidence-Base-11-15-2018.pdfThis is one of the articles covering the death of young Francesco Bonifazi https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/belief-in-homeopathy-results-in-the-death-of-a-7-year-old-italian-child/I didn’t use this story from Phil Plait, but it is worth reading. Another sad story that didn’t have to happen. https://slate.com/technology/2009/06/homeopathy-kills.htmlIf you want the complete list of every piece of homeopathic research that I reviewed, shoot me your email address and I’ll send it to you.Thanks again for listening!Support Death by Ignorance by donating to their Tip Jar: https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/death-by-ignoranceThis podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Episode Notes Dr Alice Howarth is a clinical and molecular pharmacologist who is heavily involved with Merseyside Skeptics Society and is co-host of their excellent Skeptics with a K podcast. She takes us through some of the science around cancer treatments and how the disease actually affects us. It's an emotive time when people are affected by cancer and it can increase one's vulnerability to suggestions of miraculous cures or other treatments that may not have a good evidence base. She lays bare some of the myths but, in keeping with Merseyside Skeptics' approach, she brings an inclusive healthy skepticism.

Well, this was an odd one to edit. Today's Skeptics in the Pub talk comes to you courtesy of my wife Heather Pentler. We also have a 10 Questions interview with her which you can download along with this podcast. Since being diagnosed with a chronic condition, Heather has been snooping into the dangerous advice given by various alternative medical practitioners. Her talk will take you through her experiences and how and why this advice is so harmful. Heather Pentler is a long-time member of the skeptic community, having first been involved with the Merseyside Skeptics Society, and later on becoming part of the video crew at QEDCon. As a humanities dropout and not a scientist, Heather likes applying skepticism to areas where it would not normally be applied, although she still has a passion for science, evidence and facts. She has lived and moved all over the country, spending her formative years in East Lancashire, before finding her way to Edinburgh with her husband. She still coos at all of the pretty buildings when she gets off the bus. Twitter: @LadyPenny

After her excellent talk and investigation into the remedies peddled by alternative medicine practitioners (which you can download along with this podcast), Heather Pentler joins her husband - EdSkeptics podcast producer Mark Pentler - for possibly the most self-indulgent 10 Questions podcast ever. We're so sorry...
