PseudoAstronomy Podcast Episode on the Mandela Effect
Stuart is on a roll. Fresh off this three-part series on the flat earth nonsense, here's an episode on the goofy Mandela Effect. Needless to say, I can hardly wait to listen.
More Inept Bible Interpretation: David Meade Predicts Planet X Will Destroy the Earth in October
Hard to believe, but the Planet-Xers are still out there making more bogus predictions. David Meade says Planet X will crash into the earth in October, destroying us all. How is it that real astronomers don't see this happening? Good question. Meade has the answer:...
Exposing Modern Flat Earth Belief – Part 2 of the Exposing PseudoAstronomy Podcast Series
I blogged a short time ago about Stuart Robbins' podcast series on modern flat earth belief. Stuart is a PhD in geology whose dissertation was on the geology of Mars. His podcast is, as its title suggests, about debunking nonsensical beliefs tied to astronomical...
Modern Flat Earth Theory Exposed, Part I
Back in February I caused a minor brouhaha (have to love that word) when I blogged, "Christians Who Believe the Earth is Really Flat — Does It Get Any Dumber Than This?" I'm a Christian and biblical scholar who has a grasp of the fact that ancient Israelite cosmology...
The Science and Pseudo-Science of Extraterrestrial Communication
That's the gist of this interesting and informative episode of Exposing PseudoAstronomy. Here's the episode's abstract: Linguist, Dr. Karen Stollznow, discusses some of the communication problems on our own planet and how that translates to the huge potential...
Ziggurat on the Moon?
Nah. I had occasion to troll around on the PseudoAstronomy blog a couple days ago and found Episode 99: The Saga of the Lunar Ziggurat. Astronomer Stuart Robbins exposes the (pseudo)astronomical crapulence like only he can. Enjoy! (If that's the right word).

Part 1 of My Interview on the Exposing PseudoAstronomy Podcast
A few weeks ago astronomer Stuart Robbins interviewed me for his informative Exposing PseudoAstronomy podcast. Here is Part 1 of that interview. I'll let you all know when Part 2 appears. The topic was the bogus use of ancient texts by Zecharia Sitchin and others to...
Zecharia Sitchin’s Planet X PaleoBabble
Astronomer Stuart Robbins has made a considerable effort in his PseudoAstronomy podcast to tell the truth about how real astronomy does not jive with the astronomical quackery of Zecharia Sitchin. I was recently interviewed by Stuart for his podcast (those episodes...
Mars, the Moon, Planet X, and Wacky ET Theories: Exposing Pseudo-Astronomy
I've occasionally blogged about Stuart Robbins' podcast, Exposing PseudoAstronomy. Stuart has invited me for an interview. It will take place in November, but I'll let you all know when he actually posts it. Stuart has done excellent (and time-consuming) work exposing...
Exposing PseudoAstronomy vs. David Sereda
Exposing PseudoAstronomy is a podcast hosted by Stuart Robbins. (Stuart is a postdoctoral researcher in astronomy whose focus is on planetary geophysics). I highly recommend it. He just posted the latest episode: Podcast Episode 83: David Sereda’s Claims Clip Show,...
The Geo-Centric Universe: Yep, There are Still People Who Believe It
The Exposing Pseudoastronomy podcast devoted a recent episode to this long held myth. It's a classic mis-reading of the Bible, which never actually makes the claim, though church authorities of all stripes assumed it (assisted by "creatively" reading into the text)...
The Faux Mystery of Phobos 2
I remember hearing about the Phobos 2 event back in grad school, listening to the Art Bell show. It seemed truly anomalous and therefore something that one might put in the evidence bin for alien contact. But then why did it take the Art Bell show for me to hear it?...
