Love it as always.

But I gotta say, you forgot one of the biggest anniversaries: 30 years of Pac-Man.

You know what? You seem to be right. Had that under the sgu forum members list instead of science and news. My bad.

Cunning trick to go back to calling it "The Skeptics Guide" rather than just "Skeptics Guide" on the RSS feed. I wondered why it had skipped down the RSS reader list to round about episode 184. ???

Awww... I see you missed the synthetic life thing by one day. Was kinda hoping you might have just managed to squeeze that in last minute this week. Oh well, I see a lot of other enjoyable topics in the description.

Gah! The podcast is starting to recycle. They did a very good discussion on cults back in episode 80.
