Podcasts about Skepticism

In Episode 155, we dive into the controversial and captivating story of Bob Lazar, the man who rocked the world in 1989 with claims of working on reverse-engineering alien spacecraft at a secret site near Area 51. Was Lazar a whistleblower exposing extraterrestrial secrets, backed by his detailed accounts of anti-gravity propulsion and Element 115? Or is he a master storyteller weaving a sci-fi scam, with a trail of disputed credentials and no verifiable evidence? Join us as we explore Lazar's explosive allegations, the government's response, and the enduring debate that's kept UFO enthusiasts and skeptics buzzing for decades.

What if Flight MH370 wasn't just lost, but simply became hidden from view? In this episode with controversial youtuber Ashton Forbes, we take the mystery seriously: not as magic, but as a challenge to what we think we know about plasma, quantum mechanics, and fusion. The question isn't about belief, but about possibility: if teleportation happened, what physical mechanisms could explain it? We're at the edge of reason for this one, where mystery bashes up again rationality.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showOUR HOMEBREWED MUSICCheck out our band's new album:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereVinyl pre-orders available now: https://buy.stripe.com/14A5kC3Od5d21Ms7zPdEs09Ashton's YT Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCHmFQzkpaJBSDD1PPFhPPSg 00:00 Go!

In this episode, Guy talked with  Dr. Bruce Greyson, a retired psychiatrist and an author. He discussed the transformative effects of near-death experiences (NDEs). He explained how NDEs profoundly change people's lives, making them more compassionate and less materialistic. Dr. Greyson shared compelling stories, including that of a Marine whose NDE made him unable to continue his military duties. He highlighted the growing recognition of NDEs in the medical community and the need for further research. The episode also delved into Dr. Greyson's personal journey, the scientific challenges in studying NDEs, and the universal message of interconnectedness and compassion. About Bruce: Dr. Bruce Greyson is the Chester Carlson Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia.  He was previously on the medical faculty at the University of Michigan and the University of Connecticut, where he was Clinical Chief of Psychiatry. Dr. Greyson has consulted with the National Institutes of Health and addressed symposia on consciousness at the United Nations and at the Dalai Lama's compound in Dharamsala, India. Dr. Greyson's interest in near-death experiences began just a few months after graduating from medical school, when he treated an unconscious patient in the emergency room who stunned him the next morning with an account of leaving her body. That event challenged his beliefs about the mind and the brain, and ultimately led him on a journey to study near-death experiences scientifically, leading to more than a hundred publications in medical journals.  He co-founded the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), an organization to support and promote research into these experiences, and for 27 years edited the Journal of Near-Death Studies, the only scholarly journal dedicated to near-death research. Through his research, he has discovered common and universal themes in near-death experiences that go beyond neurophysiological or cultural interpretations, as well as patterns of consistent aftereffects on individuals' attitudes, beliefs, values, and personalities.

Hamid Ghanadan, CEO at LINUS, reports on their recent State of Science research that tracks scientists' sentiment, funding expectations, and barriers to their work. Key findings reveal that the politicization of science and erosion of public trust in science threaten to slow innovation rates and negatively impact public access to accurate information. The survey also shows a direct negative impact on scientists' morale, job satisfaction, and creativity. We talk about: The growing perception of the public that science is not real Sources of public distrust of scientific information When scientists become politically active  Need for more direct communication from the scientists and life science leaders to make complex topics more understandable and relevant Opportunity for researchers, institutions, vendors, and advocacy groups to recognize these issues and take responsibility to improve the communication of accurate health and medical information to a broader audience #TheLINUSGroup #Scientists #MedicalResearchers #PublicTrust #PoliticizationofScience #HealthcareInformation #MedicalInformation  TheLINUSGroup.com

Objectively Dan hosts our in-studio live show for Truth Wanted today with multiple guest hosts who traveled in from multiple places to attend the annual Bat Cruise!Kelley Laughlin, Jonathon Roudabus, Helen Greene, Eli Slack, Jamie the Blind Limey, Ben Clodfelter join Dan to receive both audience questions and calls.Jon from Canada does not think that an actor should be chosen for a role for “woke” reasons just because they are black or Latino. Being woke is aware of the institutional prejudices that are present and is recognizing real problems that need to be discussed. How do we address the past injustices of certain groups of people? When you are talking from a point of privilege about things you have not experienced yourself, you are lacking emotional and intellectual honesty on the subject. How does a black or Latino person getting a fictional role affect you? Please show us where the “woke” hurt you. Lucy Spina in TX wants to talk about the intersectionality between Catholicism, rural New Finland, and ghosts. There were 106 people who died in these five mines that contribute to the myth of the area being haunted. What determines the degree and intensity of the haunting of a location? How does Catholicism contribute to the belief in ghosts? When we have a culture of superstition, it can contribute to the marketing value of places that are believed to be haunted. Thank you for joining us this week! All our shows this weekend are live and we hope to see you for the Bat Cruise!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truth-wanted--3195473/support.

In this episode, Sean and Catherine discuss their personal updates, reflections on life changes, and the integration of AI into their daily lives. They explore the challenges of time management and how AI tools can help streamline tasks and communication.

Yesterday I travelled up to the Vail Valley to reconnect with my friend, Julian Brigden. The conversation was two-fold. First, we dove into the dynamics at play on the macro-chessboard we are witnessing between the US dollar, inflation, bond yields and equities. The second part of the conversation is a conversation on the mining and metals markets, where I share some of my thoughts and analysis for subscribers of Mi2 Partners. You will hear the first half of our conversation in this episode.

Welcome back to Ditch the Labcoat with Dr. Mark Bonta! In this episode, we dive into the world of burnout—what it really looks like, how it creeps into even the most resilient among us, and, most importantly, what we can do to prevent it. Dr. Mark sits down with Dr. Judy Wright, a physician, performance strategist, burnout survivor, and the founder of JW Health Consulting. Dr. Wright brings a unique blend of medical expertise and personal experience to the conversation, sharing hard-won insights and practical tools that go beyond the surface-level “self-care” advice.From the silent lessons learned in medical school anatomy labs to the coping strategies (and comical dinner table conversations) that help healthcare workers weather the toughest shifts, Mark and Judy unpack what it really means to build resilience in high-stress environments. But these lessons aren't just for doctors and nurses. Whether you're managing a team, running a classroom, or simply juggling daily life, you'll find actionable advice—from five-minute reset techniques to the importance of building a support network before you desperately need one.Get ready for a candid, insightful, and wide-ranging conversation that will challenge you to rethink your approach to stress, burnout, and what it means to truly look after yourself at work and beyond.Episode HighlightsProactively Build Support Systems – Don't wait for crisis—establish a network of support inside and outside work to safeguard mental health and resilience.Normalize Emotional Boundaries – Healthcare workers are taught to compartmentalize; this is protective but needs healthy awareness to prevent detachment or apathy.Coping Skills Should Be Taught – Resilience and compartmentalization should be addressed directly in training, not just absorbed by osmosis or workplace culture.Talking Helps Heal Trauma – Debriefing difficult experiences with colleagues, friends, or professionals significantly boosts emotional processing and resilience.Early Self-Awareness Is Critical – Recognizing feelings of overwhelm or burnout early on is the best prevention, allowing intervention before serious harm is done.Burnout Is a Slow Erosion – It's not sudden; burnout creeps in gradually. Regular self-checks and honest reflection prevent it from taking root.Self-Care Is Individualized – Effective self-care goes beyond popular trends; it must be meaningful and restorative specifically for you.Small Pauses Make a Difference – Taking even a five-minute break—for breath work, movement, hydration, or reflection—can disrupt stress accumulation.Burnout Affects All Life Areas – Professional burnout inevitably spills into personal life, impacting thinking, relationships, and daily functioning.You Can Reinvent Your Career – There are multiple fulfilling paths beyond traditional clinical roles. If the current job isn't right, change is possible.Episode Timestamps 06:02 – Adapting to Cadaver Work 09:05 – Healthcare Workers' Emotional Challenges 10:03 – Emotional Detachment and Coping Mechanisms 13:16 – Debriefing's Role in Mental Health 17:02 – Early Healthcare Career Challenges 19:44 – Balancing Emotions in Medical Training 25:50 – Work-Life Interconnection Dynamics 29:33 – Importance of Building a Support System 30:18 – Integrating Self-Care with Work 34:30 – Exploring Diverse Medical Careers 39:30 – Prioritize Individualized Self-Care 40:54 – Authentic Self-Care Beyond Mani-Pedis 43:29 – Self-Care for Post-Work Recharge 47:40 – Workplace Energy and Self-Assessment 51:10 – Grounding Techniques for Resilience

In today's episode of Truth Wanted, Kelley Laughlin and Eli Slack, work through indoctrination before relaxing into some ghost encountering sleep paralysis. Just try to “free will” yourself out of that state!Adrian, a believer in CA, uses a concordance to support claims of prophecies that have been fulfilled such as the book of Zechariah mentioning piercing. How can you tell the difference between a narrative and a prophecy? How do we know this reference point can be used to get to the truth when there is the potential of bias? How do you prove that something in the Old Testament points to Jesus? Remember, the Bible is not proof of anything; it is just a series of books that make a bunch of claims. It is important to dig deep to discover why and when you started to believe these things. If you were born in India or Arabia, would you still be a Christian? Question the evidence of your beliefs and look for other sources for Christianity besides the Bible. The same standards used to determine if other religious scriptures are real need to be applied to the Bible. Why would you settle for anything less than 100% of prayers being answered? Cynthia in IL, describes an encounter with a ghost while experiencing sleep paralysis in an old dormitory that was thought to be haunted. How do you think perception shaped this experience? Looking back at things with skepticism can be an excellent tool for these things. The brain can do some freaky things! Stephen in Australia asks about free will and rather we truly have it. Where do you think decision making takes place, within the self or outside of the self? You can do what you want, but you can't will what you want. There is a difference between free choice and free will. Backup host, Jon the Skeptic, joins us to share the question of the week: What is the possible fallout of Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding?

The Trump Administration has claimed that greenhouse gases don't endanger people. And last month, the Environmental Protection Agency said it intends to rescind a landmark 2009 legal opinion — effectively ending all its climate regulations.This all comes on the cusp of a rapidly-warming planet fueling extreme weather events. A hotter planet poses an existential crisis on multiple fronts, said Alan Weisman, journalist and author of “Hope Dies Last: Visionary People Across the World, Fighting to Find Us a Future.” “We're all feeling the heat right now, but we're not the only creatures on earth that are suffering from climate change,” he said. “Many of [the] species that we're dependent on pollinate our food [and] become our food. Species enrich our soil, filter the air and produce oxygen. They are all also threatened by climate change.” While mankind needs to address this problem, Weisman said his research allowed him to uncover hope in the many ways people are taking climate action in their own hands — from fusion energy technology at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology to winning climate lawsuits in the Netherlands.“It's a combination of different things, in a lot of different places, that are each contributing to helping to slow down climate change before it gets out of control.” To hear the full conversation, click play on the audio player above or subscribe to the Climate Cast podcast.

A major Pride event just showed its true colors, gatekeeping an LGBTQ+ affirming atheist group. Recovering from Religion, a vital ally for those healing from religious trauma, was disinvited from St. John's Pride after initial approval—likely to appease religious groups. This baffling double standard, where a secular organization committed to dignity gets booted while commercial sponsors are welcome, smacks of hypocrisy. It raises troubling questions about who truly belongs at Pride and highlights a discomfort with non-religious voices, even when they advocate for core Pride values.News Source:LGBTQ affirming atheist group denied booth at St. John's Pride FestivalBy Hemant Mehta for The Friendly AtheistJuly 15, 2025

When a volcano stirs, who do you trust? This episode dives into the recent seismic activity of Iliamna volcano, contrasting scientific data with dramatic, religiously-tinged speculation about "Lord Vulcan." We expose the dangers of abandoning expert geological analysis for fear-based, supernatural narratives. It's a hilarious yet critical look at how dogma tries to explain natural events, highlighting the crucial importance of secular principles and relying on actual volcanologists for real insights, especially when communities are at risk. Forget prophecies—science keeps us safe!News Source: Iliamna Volcano and Molten Minerals By Julia Jacobo for ABC News July 11th, 2025The Non-Prophets, Episode 24.30.3 featuring Eli Slack, Jonathan Roudabush, and Tracy WilbertVolcano Prophecies: God or Geology?

We mention our friend Tim Pool and dive into the setup for the Wheel of Doom, which is loaded with 60 videos today—potentially a record! We're aiming to beat our all-time high score of 9,300 points. Social Media and Livestream Prep: Discussing the platforms we're streaming on and the excitement of going live. Tim Pool and Comedy Connections: Mentioning a conversation with Tim Pool about Stephen Colbert and how Sam stepped in when Dave Smith wasn't available. Wheel of Doom Setup: Hyping up the wheel with 60 videos and our goal to hit a high score. 0:15:00 - 0:30:00 - The Blair Witch Project: A Psychological Experiment? The first spin lands on a video about The Blair Witch Project, revealing its production as a real-life psychological experiment. We dive into how the filmmakers pushed actors to their limits with minimal scripting, GPS coordinates, and intentional deprivation to capture genuine fear. This sparks a discussion about the ethics of such filmmaking and its impact on the found footage genre. Blair Witch's Unconventional Filming: Actors were left in the woods, sleep-deprived, and scared by directors to elicit real reactions. Ethical Debate: Was this genius or borderline torture? We ponder if we'd sign up for such a project. Cultural Impact: The film's viral marketing and low-budget success (made for $60,000, grossed $250 million) redefined horror. 0:30:00 - 0:45:00 - Flat Earth Theories and the Amazon River The wheel spins to a video claiming the Amazon River's flow challenges the globe Earth model, suggesting a flat plane of existence. We react with a mix of intrigue and skepticism, noting the video's disclaimer that it's for “entertainment purposes only.” This leads to a broader discussion about conspiracy theories and their presentation online. Amazon River and Flat Earth: The video argues the river's unidirectional flow defies a globe's curvature, implying a flat Earth. Skepticism and Cop-Outs: We criticize the “entertainment only” disclaimer as a way to dodge accountability. Conspiracy Culture: Reflecting on how platforms like TikTok shape the spread of such theories. 0:45:00 - 1:00:00 - The Matrix and Brain Symbolism Another spin brings us to a video linking The Matrix to brain science, suggesting Neo's journey represents moving from the reptilian brain to the neocortex. We explore this metaphor for consciousness and control, touching on Freemasonry and the film's deeper meanings. We also briefly discuss movie recommendations for Alistair Crowley, favoring Fantastic Four over the new Superman. Matrix Symbolism: Neo's plug-in at the neck symbolizes the reptilian brain, while his awakening reflects the neocortex and higher consciousness. Freemasonry Connection: The video ties brain regions to Masonic degrees, sparking curiosity about hidden meanings. Movie Talk: We debate Superman's slapstick tone versus Fantastic Four's stronger reception. 1:00:00 - 1:15:00 - Sam's Corner: Funny and Emotional Clips In Sam's Corner, we share handpicked videos, starting with a hilarious clip of a kid caught with a hooker, claiming he's going to marry her to dodge trouble. We then get emotional watching a tribute to Hulk Hogan, reflecting on his legacy despite past controversies, including a fake voiceover clip of him making offensive remarks. Hooker Mishap: A kid's desperate excuse that he's marrying a hooker cracks us up. Hulk Hogan Tribute: A heartfelt video from The Rock about Hogan's wrestling legacy, contrasted with a fake clip highlighting his controversial past. Nostalgia and Wrestling: We reminisce about our love for pro wrestling and Hogan's iconic moves. 1:15:00 - 1:34:52 - Conspiracy Deep Dive and Bizarre News The final segment is a whirlwind of conspiracy and oddities. We discuss a video linking Sabrina Carpenter to occult symbolism in Rosemary's Baby and Eyes Wide Shut, a creepy ad for glowing smart implants, and a disturbing story about a serial butt sniffer arrested in California. We wrap up with plugs for our projects and a nod to the Doomers. Sabrina Carpenter Conspiracy: Connections to Lucifer quotes, Rosemary's Baby fonts, and Eyes Wide Shut suggest Hollywood occult ties. Smart Implants: A futuristic ad for glowing implants raises cyborg concerns, with a humorous take on glowing body parts. Serial Butt Sniffer: A repeat offender's arrests at Walmart and Nordstrom spark a mix of humor and unease about bizarre crimes.
