Skeptenfreude Episode #34 Recorded 15 August 2021. Ms Ann and Richard discuss the ongoing woeful COVID-19 lockdown in Australia then walk on the egg shells of sexuality and cultural appropriation, tarot cards, cancel culture and also somehow link it to a few board gaming examples.

Skeptenfreude Episode #34

Recorded 4 July 2021. Ms Ann and Richard still bereft of content end up talking somewhat about the COVID-19 response in Australia then continue with Richard further outlining all the things he doesn’t plan to do with the rest of his life (its a long list).

Skeptenfreude Episode #33

Recorded 25 April 2021. Ms Ann and Richard bereft of content end up talking about a conspiracy clown that accompanied Richard on an early morning train and also get into life coaching, with Richard outlining all the things he doesn’t plan to do with the rest of his life.

Skeptenfreude Episode #32

Recorded 21 February 2021. Ms Ann and Richard talk mainly about Pete Evans (Australian chef, restaurateur, author, television, spreader of misinformation on vaccinations and promoter of pseudoscientific dieting ideas (as reported by Wikipedia)). In summary, a danger in chefs clothing.  Although at the end, we get a little off topic.  

Skeptenfreude Episode #31

Recorded 25 January 2021. Ms Ann and Richard discuss Australia Day Honours and a number of unworthy recipients, a bit on Australia Day, the 7 Up documentary series, Joe Biden being President of the United States but Fox News still won’t go away, a pathetic joke, the tale of Unmasked Leopard-Print Karen, cancel culture on board game Twitter, Armie Hammer and other celebs who have disappointed Ms Ann and those few still left on her list.

Skeptenfreude Episode #30

Recorded 10 January 2021.  Ms Ann and Richard discuss the Trump inspired attack on Capitol Hill in an attempt to repurpose and redirect the Skeptenfreude ship, after hitting the iceberg that was 2020, with a new format of one topic and only being thirty(ish) minutes long.  It's our New Years gift to you loyal listener.   

Skeptenfreude Episode #29

Recorded 20 December 2020. Ms Ann and Richard were going to discuss 2020 as a year in review but just basically rambled a bit too long.

Skeptenfreude Episode #28

Recorded 8 November 2020 (the day Biden was confirmed winner, but released two weeks later where Trump still won't confirm Biden is the winner).  Ms Ann and Richard discuss the passing of the wonderful James Randi (and hence the end of the skeptic movement as we enjoy it), landing on an asteroid, the Biden vs Trump US election and the associated stupidification of America, the loss of an independent media thanks to Murdoch, the ongoing deaths of horses at the Melbourne Cup, Tom Lehrer, James Packer, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian giving up on love, Jack Nicklaus is no longer a hero, and some other bits about the loss of honesty and integrity.

Skeptenfreude Episode #27

Recorded 4 July 2020.  Ms Ann and Richard discuss the movie Gemini Man, Dyson Heydon and other examples of men treating women poorly, COVID-19 protection methods and impacts, Black Lives Matter in Family Guy, and apology videos.

Skeptenfreude Episode #26

Recorded 14 June 2020.  Ms Ann and Richard discuss Black Lives Matter and, despite talking endlessly for almost 90 minutes, contribute nought.

Skeptenfreude Episode #25

Recorded 12 April 2020.  Unsurprisingly, we talk more about living with the coronavirus COVID-19 (exhale loudly), and I really can't be bothered to break it down even further as we discuss the clowns speaking about it.  Be safe people, from both the virus and abject stupidity. 

Skeptenfreude Episode #24

Recorded 13 March 2020.  Ms Ann and Richard do a further 8 months of dusting from the microphones and have a chat at the beginning of the COVID-19 virus, when all we really were worried about was toilet paper.  A meandering discussion follows involving a Saturday dinner Skeptic presentation on Climate Change, a Skeptic Zone interview (which in post we find didn't happen!), the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras and some really good bits that we sadly had to cut out.

Skeptenfreude Episode #23 (slight return)

Recorded 28 July 2019.  Ms Ann and Richard dust off the microphones, engaged the ambient background noise, and discuss a UFO believer who has challenged the skeptics, the skeptics response, revisit the Skeptic Zone, discuss the accuracy of Ms Ann's Myers-Briggs personality test, contemplate why The Room may be the strangest bad movie, and finally gather around to discuss Wernher von Braun and the Apollo 11 50th anniversary.

Skeptenfreude Episode #22

Recorded 26 May 2019. Ms Ann and Richard dust off the equipment, not to talk skeptics and skepticism, but rather the conclusion to Game of Thrones.  Because what the world needs now is apparently another rant against Game of Thrones.  No fancy editing or the like, as it has been so long since the last podcast we have mostly forgotten how to use the software.  If you are reading this, thank you for keeping us linked, and we do intend to return a bit quicker next time.

Skeptenfreude Episode #21 26 May 2019 (Game of Thrones)

Recorded 16 September 2018. Ms Ann and Richard desperately try to keep their interest plate spinning on its sceptical community stick by discussing the demise of Paracon 18 and its hastily organised replacement ParaCAN (which turned into a fun day at least for Richard). They then move on to discuss Sharon Hill and her drop the mic blog article “Please Don’t Call Me A Skeptic”, Elon Musk, Serge Benhayon, Oliver’s Real Food using less woo, the changing agenda at Skepticon, skeptic input into a porncast, and how neither of them have any current interest in the Skeptical Movement.

Skeptenfreude Episode #20

The sporadically recorded ramblings of a disillusioned duo delighting in the misfortunes of others, ranting about the minutiae of life and occasionally discussing skepticism.
