    Jul 23 2025

    Recorded 1 June 2025 (but posted 23 July 2025; I know, its ridiculously late). Ms Ann and Richard discuss not having a podcast preamble unlike the SGU, the end of the Australian Skeptic (and other) magazines, why we are being forced to join communities, Who's That Racist, the SGU at Disneyland, why did we not see the so many tobacco shops, a grass roots mind, body, & wallet show at a pokie club, the efficacy of copper balls, a review of the show Titanique, Ms Ann social media annoyances, sports legends gone bad and arena names, some Folk festival observations, Evan Bernstein is a lovely bloke, babies at shows, Lean Six Sigma, digital tipping and round-up for charity, the guitarist Giacomo Turra viewed through the window of The Spectrum of Permissibility, and how such a spectrum might apply to skeptics, and finally more waffle on the SGU.

    Apr 26 2025

    Recorded 28 February 2025 (but posted 26 April 2025!). Ms Ann and Richard discuss changes in the world since they last recorded a podcast five months ago and the Trump presidency, the end of Skeptics in the Pub, Richard's experience with a Tarot Cards for Beginners course, how ChatGPT is both brilliant and scary, but regardless we use it for a bit of content, Richard tells his Ed the Canadian environmental engineer story (probably again), we then discuss how long do you display an award, Ms Ann talks Tesla drivers, Elon and the USA, and then with nothing else to talk about, we talk about Ms Ann's new 3D printer and life philosophy.

    Sep 17 2024

    Recorded 25 August 2024. Ms Ann and Richard discuss the SGU talking irrelevant personal stuff and episode numbers before Richard talks about his irrelevant personal trip to a folk event in Annandale. Then we spend the remaining time on the question "What is a women" which for a seemingly obvious answer seems to have got quite muddy and as expected we end up not solving it and only being exasperated.
