As NASA's Artemis program promises to take us back to the moon for the first time in fifty years, we consider what it means that as many as 10% of Americans don't believe we went there in the first place. Why, despite all the evidence, has the faked moon landing conspiracy persisted? We explore why this falsehood has such staying power and what it reveals about our relationship with science and its findings. Meanwhile, lunar science continues unabated. Scientists open a lunar soil sample that's been vacuumed sealed for a half-century and receive a blast of four and a half billion-year-old solar wind. Guests: Peter Knight – professor of American Studies, English and American Studies and conspiracy expert at the University of Manchester, U.K. Ryan Zeigler – planetary scientist and NASA's Lunar Sample Curator at Johnson Space Center Featuring music by Dewey Dellay and Jun Miyake Big Picture Science is part of the Airwave Media podcast network.

This Friday on Weekly Spooky, we're bringing back one of the biggest and most exhaustive episodes of Terrifying & True we've ever produced.In this special episode we take a long, hard look at the couple who became the most famous names in American paranormal investigation. From Amityville and Annabelle to the cases that helped inspire The Conjuring, this episode explores how the Warrens built their legend — and why that legend remains so controversial.We follow their rise from local investigators to national figures in the world of hauntings, possessions, and demonology, then dig into the doubts, criticism, and conflicting accounts that have followed them for decades. It's a deep dive into belief, fear, fame, folklore, and the uneasy space where the paranormal collides with performance.Because this is a Best of 2025 re-air, it's the perfect chance to catch an episode that listeners may have missed the first time around — especially if you're fascinated by haunted history, real-life paranormal cases, or the truth behind some of horror's most famous stories.Inside this episode:• The rise of Ed and Lorraine Warren• The real stories connected to Amityville, Annabelle, and The Conjuring• Their occult museum and public image• The skeptics, critics, and controversies surrounding their work• Why their legacy still shapes paranormal culture today

In this episode of From Skeptic to Seeker, host Angelica Barros sits down with longtime City Rev attender Dennis Valentin to hear the powerful story of his journey from doubt to faith. Dennis shares honestly about the questions, skepticism, and life experiences that once kept him distant from God, and the moments that began to shift his perspective. Through personal stories and reflection, Dennis explains how encountering Jesus transformed his life and gave him a new sense of purpose and hope. His story is a reminder that faith often begins with honest questions—and that God is faithful to meet us right where we are.

Episode Highlights With KatieWhat photobiomodulation (PBM) is and how red/NIR light affects cellsCore mechanism in plain English: cytochrome-c oxidase, nitric oxide displacement, ATP boost, secondary ROS and Ca² signalingWavelengths and depth: red (630–660 nm) for skin/surface; NIR (810–850 nm) for deeper tissues; why 980 nm behaves more thermallyEvidence overview: where PBM helps most (pain, recovery, tissue healing, some skin outcomes) and where data is still emerging“Free” red/NIR from sunrise and sunset: why the spectrum shifts, circadian benefits, and practical outdoor habitsDevice fundamentals: wavelength, irradiance (mW/cm²), energy dose (J/cm²), distance, and session timeBest-practice protocols: example dosing for skin vs joints/muscle; frequency and cycling (start low, titrate)Safety and cautions: eyes, heat load, photosensitizing meds, pregnancy/active cancer care, implanted electronicsHome tips: avoid staring at LEDs, position perpendicular to target, measure/estimate dose rather than chasing wattageSleep support stack: morning outdoor light + evening low-intensity red environment (not bright blue at night)Skeptic's view: helpful when wavelength/dose are right; underwhelming if misused or sold as a cure-allMy routine: sunrise/sunset outside first; add targeted device sessions for DOMS, skin, or joint recovery and track results over 4–8 weeksResources MentionedBON CHARGEJOOVV red light Red Therapy red lights use code wellnessmama for a discountMito red lightHigher DoseBONCHARGEI like so many of their products - from their red light products to their sauna blankets.

There are scientific truths, religious truths, historical truths, mythical truths, and more. In our current swamp of misinformation, disinformation, truthiness, rewritten history, conspiracy theories, “fake news,” and bald-faced lies, how do we discern actual facts and truth? What is “truth,” anyway? The Declaration of Independence claims that “We hold these truths to be self-evident.” What about those “truths”? These questions are crucial if we're to have a functioning democracy. Michael Shermer, founding publisher of Skeptic magazine and author of the new book Truth, returns to our podium to tackle these issues with us. He will clarify the different kinds of truth, take us on an entertaining ride through some classic fallacies, and then show us how to figure out, within the context of the various types of “truth,” whether a particular “fact” is, in fact, factual. So join us for an informative discussion and maybe a few enjoyable, and illuminating, experiential exercises in which we'll practice tackling the problem of finding truth, then maybe have dinner afterward at a nearby restaurant!

“I am in the Jeffrey Epstein files,” Michael Shermer, founder of Skeptic Magazine, recently revealed. “I did get an invite to the island, the even crazier story.” Despite his name appearing in the DOJ's release of Epstein's emails, Shermer says he never went to Little Saint James or committed any crimes. The leaked emails reference a Skeptic Magazine event that Epstein attended without Shermer's knowledge. This nuance hasn't stopped the fury of the internet mob: Shermer's social media is filled with attacks by people who believe anyone who ever met or spoke to Epstein must be involved in his crimes.

In today's episode of the Atheist Experience, Justin and Jon the Skeptic explore the shrinking "God of the Gaps" and the carnages of evolution! They challenge faith-based morality and the logical hurdles of deism in an eternal universe.Mark in FL argues biological codes require a creator as abiogenesis is undemonstrated. Hosts call this a "God of the Gaps" placeholder with no explanatory power. They compare his god to a unicorn. Is DNA really proof of divine intent?Alfie in TX asks if biblical morality has utility. Hosts identify these "high" values in Stoicism and Confucius. They argue against keeping the "rolls" with the "cyanide" of slavery. Did Jesus actually endorse harsh Mosaic laws?Ryan in PA seeks clarification on the burden of proof for faith. Hosts assert any claim requires evidence. They distinguish between religious faith and secular hope for a second chance. Is everyone technically agnostic?Hayden asks why the Bible uses water imagery for salvation. Hosts link baptism to ancient rituals where sin was treated as physical filth to be washed away with divine detergents. Can baptism truly cleanse a moral impurity?Thank you for joining us this week! We will see you next time!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-atheist-experience--3254896/support.
