I like radio. Here are some radio appearances I have done over the last few years, and I am working on a plan with Australian Skeptics to make a fortnightly half-hour show to follow up the success we had with the Skeptic Tank.

You can download the shows from here in MP3 format, or you can have them downloaded into your podcatching software for loading into your iPod or other MP3 player. This will give you the added advantage of automatically downloading any new programs which appear here. There are many podcatcher programs out there. I found that Juice (used to be iPodder) seemed to do the job very well until I got my iPod, when Apple's iTunes became the obvious choice.

To get the programs into your podcatching software, just add the following URL to your subscription list:

• October 22, 2007 - Talking with Richard Saunders in The Tank about quackery
• October 28, 2006 - Nutritionist Stuart Adams with the Jelly Bean Lady on 4BC (with interjections from PB)
• October 14, 2006 - Friday the 13th (With Sarah Macdonald on ABC Radio 702)
  The obscure reference to tunnels and radio announcers at the start of the interview refers to two local events of the day - a road tunnel under the city of Sydney had been found to be leaking groundwater and the regular presenter of the show (who uses the tunnel to get to work) was having an unplanned day off from work. We sceptics just love coincidences.
• August 27, 2006 - The Planets - Pluto, The Lord Of The Underworld
  Colin Matthews' 2000 addition to Gustav Holst's 1917 Planets suite. The planet Pluto was unkown when Holst composed the original work

  It's not me in the podcast, it's Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger singing ALL the verses of Woody Guthrie's classic song. Enjoy. Think about it.
• November 26, 2005 - With Tony Murphy and the Jelly Bean Lady on 4BC talking about cures for diabetes.
• August 22, 2005 - The Great Psychic Debate on TripleM
  Note: This is not a complete recording of the program, and leaves out such parts as me telling the "psychic" how she does her tricks and her denying any knowledge of the expression "cold reading". Also, the time between her being asked to do a reading of me and her refusal was not the instant it appears - she agreed then changed her mind. I attempted to get a full recording from the radio station but I was unsuccessful.
