The Science Enthusiast Podcast

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.

It's absolutely fascinating (and the memes pretty funny). Full show archive: http://ScienceEnthusiastPodcast.com

We talked to a an audience comprised (generally) of non-skeptics about what skepticism is, then gave some examples of scientists and skeptics in pop culture, such as our 'god' of the week ('Doubting Thomas'), and also Dr. House, RIck (and Morty!), Andrew Ryan (from Bioshock), Batman/Iron Man, and more!

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
