We wanted to check in on the listeners, so about the last possible minute we decided to have a live show, put up an audio only ustream, and invited our friends on twitter to come join us – and for those who were keen, to call us up on skype and talk to us on the show. We had a lot of fun recording this one, I hope you enjoy it too.

No, really, tell a friend. (Maybe don’t mention episode 19 though, eh?)

Good episode. I’m gonna check out some of the podcasts you recommended. Another one I think you’d probably enjoy is The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe. They also spanked Ken Ring a couple of weeks ago, in episode 294.
It’s very kind of you to say, but we both know that episode 20 was better.
