IRrelevant Astronomy
It’s the series Aint-It-Cool-News calls ”the most (intentionally) hilarious series of educational films you’ll find…the pieces carry a Muppets-esque charm.” Alan Dyer at Discovery.com says it’s ”a lot of fun, and breaks the mold for NASA videos.” Recently a top-10 finalist for ”Best Science/Technology Podcast” at the 2008 Podcast Awards, IRrelevant Astronomy is packed with CG animation and snarky humor, all wrapped around the latest astronomy news and science from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope. It’s infrared-relevant!
Science News Flash
A unique Christian perspective on headline-grabbing discoveries.
LogicallyCritical
In a world where gut feelings are given more authority than facts, where the average person is permitted to drive 2 tons of steel death, and ‘God did it’ is an acceptable answer to why something happened, your life may just depend on listening to this podcast.
The LogicallyCritical podcast is intended to encourage critical thinking in everyday situations without the hassle of checking facts at the library. Rather than quote historical research or bore you with statistics about how many dentists suggest what cigarette to their patients, this will use information that we can all reasonably agree on, and will show by example how to more-fully explore any given issue be it traffic, religion, or how to lure a weasel into a cardboard box.
The podcast is no longer being actively produced (10/28/07), but the episodes are still available.

EERIE Radio is a paranormal podcast that stands for ‘Endeavor for Esoteric Research and Investigation into the Enigmatic’. The hosts interview top researchers in the paranormal field and have a few laughs along the way. “Life is paranormal. Listen. Learn. Laugh.”
