Decent Podcasts
 

Recommendations, anyone?
While I couldn't be arsed to listen to a round table of geeks discussing the latest in technology,I'm still open to try discussion/informative podcasts if related to science and the IT world.Musically, I would prefer deep house,rock,tech-house,minimal or anything that's interesting.Thanks

Joe Rogan's podcast is often hysterical.

If you looking for science and skeptic podcasts, can't have one without the other, then there quite a few good ones. Some of my favorites are:

Astronomy Cast
Skeptics Guide to the Universe (more science but definitely skeptical)
Point of Inquiry (strong skeptical based podcast with a little science)

Others worth mentioning:
Skeptically Speaking
Radio Labs (fun and easy)
East Meets West'


IT wise I would check out The TWIT network if you haven't already. There are just about a 1 stop shop at this point.

if you want something Paranormal
A good skeptical show is "the Paracast"
Dark matters Radio is also rather nice.
The Paranormal report would be another one, and well Coast to Coast (which would be my last choice)

I love Joe Rogan, but I didn't know he had a podcast. I will have to give it a listen.

That is the exact opposite of skeptical.

The skeptical movement is a body of people concerned with science and empirical facts. Skeptics are about debunking pareidolias, dealing with confirmation bias' issues, critical thinking, and keeping cognitive dissonance from marring the thought process.

Mind telling me how many episodes you´ve listened to ?
Because sure on one or the other show they just go with it, but most of the time it´s rather skeptical.

Thanks for the suggestions so far[thumbup],time to download,burn and listen whilst on the move.

I listened to one of the newer Paracast episodes. Within the first 30 minutes or so one of the guys says something to the effect: "I am 60 years old I just don't have the patience for skeptics anymore." I continued to listen to them talk about a fellow colleague being caught falsifying evidence or something like that and other topics.

Unless I missed something, I think you may have the wrong idea about what exactly a skeptic is? Please clarify on this if I missed something.

Most skeptics agree that the idea of aliens is completely logical, although it is highly debatable about the evolved state or the galaxy population of other lifeforms, simple or complex. Most don't believe that aliens lifeforms have ever been seen, secretly or otherwise, because it cannot be empirically proven.

Logically, we are in a remote part of the galaxy, and the closest solar system, Alpha Centauri, is 4 light years (a distance of 1 year of traveling 186,000+ miles per seconds) or 275,000 astronomical units (a distance of from here to the sun) away. This is not to mention that Alpha Centauri has 2 stars and very little chance of life. The idea that some other advanced lifeform would visit us is highly unlikely as we, our solar system, has little to offer. This skeptical reasoning was even condescendingly mentioned in the podcast when the old guy made the remark I mentioned up above.

Skeptics are about hard sciences (things that can be proven), which includes debunking UFO sightings many times, paranormal/supernatural sightings or powers, homeopathy (alternative medicines), and religion. Things that do not hold up to criticism or being put under a microscope. Skeptics promote science and science understanding. It is about asking questions, finding the scientifically tested truths, and understanding the fallibility of our own brains.
