The Inconvenient TruthJoin Now to Follow
A few years ago I happened upon a little podcast by the name of Skeptoid. After I listened to a few episodes, I realized I had been a skeptic for all of my life. What is a skeptic to me? A skeptic, in its most simple form, is just someone who doesn’t accept things at face value. We always want to know more, we question why things are. We use evidence and science to get at the truth. Sometimes the truth isn’t pretty. Sometimes it would be easier for us to simply ignore the truth and go blissfully upon our way. Sometimes the truth is just plain inconvenient. Regardless of whether we like it or not, the truth is still the truth. After reading the works of Sagan, Randi, Novella, Gardner and Dunning; I decided that I could contribute to the skeptical movement myself in my own small way. Not having the longest attention span in the world, I decided upon a 10-12 minute audio format for a podcast that would mostly discuss medically related topics. The rest of the topics would include conspiracy theories, urban legends, consumer frauds and the paranormal. The Inconvenient Truth is my attempt to attack pseudoscience and clear the way for the real truth. I hope you like it.

The Exquisite TruthJoin Now to Follow
The Exquisite Truth is a weekly audio podcast. In each episode, we come together to discuss the nature of rational thought in everyday life. Your host is Kevin Pierce. Together with his guests, Kevin discusses issues of interest for people living a secular lifestyle. This project was born out of a desire to open a rational, ongoing discussion about the question of absolute truth in matters of faith and religion, as well as daily life as it applies to politics and medicine. Our panelists join us for each show to explore questions of religion, atheism, alternative medicine, education, and anything else under the sun. The Exquisite truth asks the hard question of both atheism, and faith. We look at the real value of a religious life, and investigate alternative modes of understanding our world. We pull back the curtains from the world to expose its reality. We leave no sacred cow un-slaughtered. No subject is safe from our critical analysis. So join us each episode, when we seek out the voice of reason.
