Great skeptical podcast

If you like podcasts such as Skeptics Guide to the Universe or Skeptics with a K, then this is also worth listening to. Great hosts, good segments and love the skeptical parodies.

Skeptically good eh!

Superb podcast from our Canadian cousins, made even better by the excellent musical theme tune on every episode :)
Keep it up chaps!
*2015 Update*
I've now been listening to these guys for years. Hosts have come and gone during that time, but the quality never diminishes. The hosts feel like virtual friends who pop over to "visit" each week.
Long may this excellent podcast continue!

My favourite skeptical podcast

Consistently very enjoyable listening. Good balance of fun and educational segments.

Interesting, informative and educational!

I like the different presenters and their varying styles, and the realistic way they investigate things. Very open and honest, and shows anyone how easy it is to be a skeptic!
Just one thing - can you not do that annoying shouting out the name of the person from the quote? It's really jarring and pointless!

A true gem of a podcast!

Probably like you, I listen to a lot of podcasts over the average week… but if I discover a new episode of The Reality Check has downloaded to my iPhone, it immediately gets pole position on my playlist.
There are a few other podcasts that fall into the same tier, like Skeptically Speaking, Point of Inquiry, and Skeptics with a K, but whilst these all have their charm, something about our Canadian crew slightly edges out 'the competition' (friendly competition, as I will listen to those others immediately afterwards if available).
TRC doesn't take itself too seriously, has a great group vibe going, offers a great selection of interesting segments (so there should always be at least one you'll enjoy), and let's not forget the truly epic parody intro songs. Every time I listen in, I feel like I'm hanging out with friends.
If you haven't given it a try yet, you really should subscribe. I think one episode and you'll be hooked. ;-)

Awesome show!

Being a human as I am, I like to have my own beliefs and opinions reaffirmed and actively seek out both people and media to achieve this goal. Your show does a great job of this, and I thank you for it. There is not enough logic and reason in the world, but shows like this do a great job of trying to change it for the better. Download, subscribe and so on. x

This is a fantastic skeptical podcast that looks at a wide range of subjects in a light but informative manner. If you live sgu then you'll love this too! Great work guys!

'Skepticool'

A highly entertaining Skeptical podcast, delivered with a good dose of wit and intellect.

Intelligent, Funny and Skeptical

Excellent addition to anyone's skeptical podcasts. Not as dry as Skeptoid, and doesn't take itself as seriously as SGU. I often find myself laughing out loud, especially at the out-takes at the end. LISTEN - YOU WILL LEARN SOMETHING!

YAWN

Some flatulent know-it-all Libertarians talk about subjects they barely understand, using Wikipedia articles.

Great Science Podcast

Accessible, informative and entertaining. A 'skeptical' podcast but is balanced, focusing on fact rather than opinion.
The podcast is an under-appreciated little gem, that I prefer to Skeptic's Guide to the Universe. Keep up the great work!
The only thing that's missing is a female co-host...??
