We discussed Dave Mabus (Dennis Markuze), general skepticism and more. There have been some updates since this episode was aired. More about Mabus can be found here: http://randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1434-qdave-mabusq-diagnosed-and-in-treatment.html   {downloader mode="level" level="public" file="ra12052011.mp3"}   Wed, 07 Dec 2011 06:06:25 EST http://play.callisto.fm/podcasts/by/Nigel_Aves/in/Rational-Alchemy-Podcasts/episode/Rational-Alchemy-12052011-Dr-Jen/ http://play.callisto.fm/podcasts/by/Nigel_Aves/in/Rational-Alchemy-Podcasts/episode/Rational-Alchemy-11042011-Homeschooling/ In this episode we discuss homeschooling, both secular and religious, with special guest Kai Haswell. Kai discusses his own, not always typical, experience being homeschooled and we tackle the question of homeschooling having any benefits at all.   {downloader mode="level" level="public" file="ra11042011.mp3"}   Sun, 06 Nov 2011 20:23:00 EST http://play.callisto.fm/podcasts/by/Nigel_Aves/in/Rational-Alchemy-Podcasts/episode/Rational-Alchemy-11042011-Homeschooling/ http://play.callisto.fm/podcasts/by/Nigel_Aves/in/Rational-Alchemy-Podcasts/episode/Rational-Alchemy-09152011-John-Edward-Is-A-Douche/ This week were joined by Travis and Dale Roy. As usual when Travis is on, we had far too much fun. We discussed John Edward, power balance bracelets and homeopathic birth control.

We discussed guerrilla skepticsm, editing Wikipedia, throwing shit on Sylvia Browne (literally and figuratively) and much more.   Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia http://guerrillaskepticismonwikipedia.blogspot.com/   {downloader mode="level" level="public" file="ra09132011.mp3"}     Wed, 14 Sep 2011 18:34:55 EST http://play.callisto.fm/podcasts/by/Nigel_Aves/in/Rational-Alchemy-Podcasts/episode/Rational-Alchemy-09132011-Guerrilla-Skepticism/ http://play.callisto.fm/podcasts/by/Nigel_Aves/in/Rational-Alchemy-Podcasts/episode/Rational-Alchemy-09122011-Die-Facebook-Die/ This week we discuss Google+ and the (hopefully) imminent death of Facebook along with a wide variety of other topics.   {downloader mode="level" level="public" file="ra09122011.mp3"}   Tue, 13 Sep 2011 17:57:29 EST http://play.callisto.fm/podcasts/by/Nigel_Aves/in/Rational-Alchemy-Podcasts/episode/Rational-Alchemy-09122011-Die-Facebook-Die/ http://play.callisto.fm/podcasts/by/Nigel_Aves/in/Rational-Alchemy-Podcasts/episode/Rational-Alchemy-08062011-Live-Sort-Of-From-TAM/ This week we see what happens when Jeff gets dragged (apparently kicking and screaming) to TAM. He is joined by quite a few people to discuss a bit of everything. Note to listeners and participants: Almost everyone here identified by first name only. As such I've decided not to include any names here as I'm not sure who everyone is. If you spoke on the show and would like to be named E-mail me and I will add you to the notes as well as any website you would like plugged.   {downloader mode="level" level="public" file="ra08062011.mp3"}   Sun, 07 Aug 2011 15:51:27 EST http://play.callisto.fm/podcasts/by/Nigel_Aves/in/Rational-Alchemy-Podcasts/episode/Rational-Alchemy-08062011-Live-Sort-Of-From-TAM/ http://play.callisto.fm/podcasts/by/Nigel_Aves/in/Rational-Alchemy-Podcasts/episode/Rational-Alchemy-07282011-Jon-Johnson/ This week we are joined by special guest Jon Johnson to discuss the origins of our own atheism, religion in general, and more. You will have noticed the episode numbers are incorrect. This will continue for some time. I lost my master list of episode airings and have officially given up all pretense of knowing when anything aired. Fortunately, I didn't lose the episodes themselves.     {downloader mode="level" level="public" file="ra07282011.mp3"}   Fri, 29 Jul 2011 19:59:25 EST http://play.callisto.fm/podcasts/by/Nigel_Aves/in/Rational-Alchemy-Podcasts/episode/Rational-Alchemy-07282011-Jon-Johnson/ http://play.callisto.fm/podcasts/by/Nigel_Aves/in/Rational-Alchemy-Podcasts/episode/Rational-Alchemy-06112011-The-Rapture-That-Wasnt/ This episode is based upon the rapture that wasn't. It is also grossly out of order. Sorry about that. There were some file errors that spun wildly out of control that led to misnumbered episodes and the lateness of most of these podcasts.   {downloader mode="level" level="public" file="ra06112011.mp3"}   Mon, 18 Jul 2011 19:06:09 EST http://play.callisto.fm/podcasts/by/Nigel_Aves/in/Rational-Alchemy-Podcasts/episode/Rational-Alchemy-06112011-The-Rapture-That-Wasnt/ http://play.callisto.fm/podcasts/by/Nigel_Aves/in/Rational-Alchemy-Podcasts/episode/Rational-Alchemy-05142011-Conspiracies/ This week we continue to avoid religion with a discussion of conspiracy theories. We talk about a couple of topical conspiracies, birthers and Bin Laden, as well as conspiracies in general.   {downloader mode="level" level="public" file="ra05142011.mp3"}   Thu, 07 Jul 2011 14:38:29 EST http://play.callisto.fm/podcasts/by/Nigel_Aves/in/Rational-Alchemy-Podcasts/episode/Rational-Alchemy-05142011-Conspiracies/
