Two Great Podcasts
I love podcasts that you can learn from and get you to think. Two of my favorites are Skeptoid and the Stuff You Should Know podcast. They both had great episodes this week. Skeptoid had an episode about the placebo effect, and Stuff You Should Know had an episode about high fructose corn syrup. Really good stuff.

Here Be Dragons
One thing that drives me crazy is all the misinformation that is spread. So many people believe things that aren’t true just because they are told it’s true. It’s not that these people are dumb, it’s just that they haven’t learned how to think critically about things.
Brian Dunning, host of Skeptiod, a ten minute weekly podcast, has created a must see video. It is titled Here Be Dragons, and it is a nice introduction to critical thinking. You can watch it below, or go to herebedragonsmovie.com to view it at a higher quality.
