The true science behind our most popular urban legends. Historical mysteries, paranormal claims, popular science myths, aliens and UFO reports, conspiracy theories, and worthless alternative medicine schemes... Skeptoid has you covered. From the sublime to the startling, no topic is sacred. Weekly since 2006.
What if the cataclysmic Tunguska explosion of 1908 was caused, not by a meteor or a comet, but by a microscopic black hole? What if that fantastic object - smaller than an atom, older than the stars, heavier than a mountain - is still down there, orbiting deep inside the earth, slowly consuming the planet? What if only a rookie government agent and an uncannily-insightful consultant stand between a renegade Russian billionaire and his plans to use the black hole to change history - or end it ...
JFK, 9/11, Roswell, Area 51, Antifa. These are just some of the topics we will discuss in some questionable details that will make you think Is This Real?
Join us as we watch and discuss some of the best episodes of The X Files from a scientifically created list (picked by us). We talk about the aliens, cryptids, and 90s to find out if the truth is indeed out there.
Join Andy, Pat, and Eddie as they explore they world’s monsters, myths and mysteries. Each episode explores a variety of paranormal events and the impact they have on the lives of people who experience them.
An occasionally funny podcast for deviants, nerds, and the occasional conspiracy theorist.

John C. Adler, Ph.D., as told to Bill DeSmedt
What if the cataclysmic Tunguska explosion of 1908 was caused, not by a meteor or a comet, but by a microscopic black hole? … Well, like as not, you already know that story — the one told by Bill DeSmedt in his award-winning novel/podcast Singularity. What you may not know, though, is the story behind the story: the science behind Singularity. Surprisingly (or maybe not), you can learn a lot about primordial black holes and the Tunguska Event and black hole radiation and the Big Bang on the ...
Join Tori, a nerdy vampire-loving bonafide X-phile, and Nic, an opinionated paranormal-loving sort-of skeptical misanthrope, as they rewatch The X-Files. Tori was a huge fan as a teen, but hasn’t seen the original episodes in over a decade. Nic watched the first season when it originally aired, but that was it. Together they'll watch one episode per week and try to figure out if the truth is still out there...
