Another F*cking Horror Podcast
Like any episodic format — whether it’s video, audio, or print — staleness, predictability, and ennui can creep in. That’s not the case, however, with Another F*cking Horror Podcast, which seems to get better with time. Since our last review, the show has become even more entertaining, the co-hosts more experienced, and the snark more, well, snarkier.

Introducing the Scientista Podcast
A former co-worker spotted me at my favorite sports bar, P.J. Whelihan’s, and came over to say hello.

Do we ever need a science guy now? Our nation has experienced a down spiral from scientific analysis to fringe beliefs that are more appropriate for the 17th rather than the 21st Century. Driven by the current administration, we have the complete revocation of climate change, vaccine science, and rational thought in favor of medical treatment using supplements and fruit instead of vaccines and medications. There are policies that will increase air and water pollution, completely fabricated vaccine studies, and a bizarre search for the cause of autism in artificial food dyes.
