The Skeprechauns' Podcast

Turns out sticking to a podcasting schedule is just not in our nature! Mostly this pod explains why…

And we’re back! Did you miss us? In this episode we talk academia, abortion (because that’s in the news again), missions to mars, water and the charging for it.. and at the end the proper way to say goodbye.

As promised a whole two episodes in June *high five*

Everyone loves a terrestrial isopoda and we muse over a visiting bee. Finn tells you all about the Filter Bubble and leads us to talk about the Men’s Shed Movement. Of course we talk the events in the US and the internet reverberations, #YesAllWomen and friendzoning. Very important announcement: the Girl Against Fluoride needs a superhero costume designed! Anybody want to design a nemesis for her? Quick chat about the European Elections here and abroad. The pro-life promise gave us a list of people not to vote for. Knee-jerk reactions in general and perceptions.

Rebecca regails us with tales from QED (Colm’s round-up). That intro video with Paul Zenon, sex and drugs (video mentioned), luring people to skepticism with honey or vinegar, fine dining and Nate Phelps (video). We muse about the recent talk at Dublin Skeptics about love on the internet. How not to generate publicity for your Summit conference and the HEA response. Representations of people of colour in art galleries and museums, a very cool Tumblr seeks to redress this. Link to the painting in National Gallery of Ireland mentioned, The Toy-seller and the “first” obese man. World history from the 3rd century from the Chinese perspective, different views of Irish history including the Jewish community in Ireland, and the proposed expansion of the museum.

Episode 57 – You Can’t Handle the Skeprechauns

Episode 56 – ‘Tis the Skeprechauns

With Finn and the ever reliable Stephen! We talk MAMMOTHS, footsteps & FOSSILS.. (with some immortal lobsters thrown in for good measure).. Nuclear Fusion may happen in our lifetime. or someone’s lifetime, but sadly not Jade Rabbit’s life time (rest in peace lil robot). Speaking of robots and space.. there’s an Irish dude shortlisted for Mars One. Oh we did talk about creationism and THAT debate.. we through in some thoughts on vaccines.. and then Finn had a good long rant about Homophobia. Speaking of.. here’s Panti’s Nobel Call and here’s the King Of Iona’s response..

Quick tribute to an awesome cat, Glitter and how George Hrab’s song Small Comfort (video) helped a lot. Would the Rainbow Bridge be like Cat Heaven in Earthworm Jim? Finn talks about the idea of orphan drugs and she was going to talk about interviews but then decided against it… Northern Ireland has a theatrical fail, why, oh why, oh why. All because we get “offended” so we have a chat about the Girl against Fluoride (shudder) and Panti. And then some parental rights, marriage equality and gay rights. Our computers are haunted! The Postmodernism generator and going a little academically mad.

Our last one of 2013? See you guys on the flip side.
