About the show

Rationally Speaking is the bi-weekly podcast of New York City Skeptics. Join host Julia Galef and guests as they explore the borderlands between reason and nonsense, likely from unlikely, and science from pseudoscience. Any topic is fair game as long as we can bring reason to bear upon it, with both a skeptical eye and a good dose of humor!

Related recommendation: this podcast episode[1] was very good, covered many solutions to the Fermi Paradox

Diana S. Fleischman (evolutionary psychologist) and Julia Galef discuss some of this and other things on this podcast which I thought was pretty good
