[00:00:00] Alex Tsakiris: On this episode of skeptiko, a show about going away

[00:00:07] Clip: There you. We were wondering when did show up?

[00:00:16] Alex Tsakiris: and a show about when to come back.

[00:00:20] Al Borealis: We can’t make everyone aware. We, we just, we just, the default is everybody sleeping. And now I’m gonna try to wake up as much as I can. And if I meet others on my journey, we also seek that or has some ability to do that, or has shown to do that to some extent. I’m gonna hitch my wagon to that person as long as that’s useful for both of us…

[00:00:43] Alex Tsakiris: that first clip was from the wonderful Christmas movie, shutter Island, and the second was from today’s guest, the one and only Al Borealis from Forum Borealis who joined me, or I should say, I joined him to talk about 20, 22 year in review.

For both Skeptical and for Forum Borealis.

now as some of you may have noticed, I have taken a step back from the mic on Skeptical. Haven’t done episodes in a couple of months, so what was really great to get back in touch with Al and to talk about the year in review and the reasons why I stepped back and some of my thoughts on when and if I should continue and in what form.

I should do so. So I enjoyed the chat. It did bring up some stuff for me as I continue to work out and figure out where I want to go, a process which I would really, really appreciate you all joining me. , and telling me what direction you think this show should go in.

It is my personal journey, but it’s shared with you. So I’d like to know your thoughts on it, but before we can get to that, we have to listen to the year in review with my special guest, Al Borealis, from Forum Borealis.

[00:02:12] Al Borealis: And welcome to this swap casting or annual review of the year with Skeptical and Forum Borealis. Hello, Alex. How

[00:02:22] Alex Tsakiris: are you? I’m great, Al, how are you? ?

[00:02:26] Al Borealis: Yeah, I’m pretty stoked for this thing. It’s um, it’s a last, last time we had a show with each other. It was the end of the year, wasn’t it?

[00:02:35] Alex Tsakiris: Well, actually after the end of the year you were, you know, so kind to do the anniversary show.

Well, that’s rights. I’m skeptical. So was quite a, quite an event on my, uh, on my 22 calendar. So, uh, that

[00:02:49] Al Borealis: was great. Yeah, that’s how we, uh, that’s how we entered this year actually. Great

[00:02:54] Alex Tsakiris: interest. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. And you know, I have been, I have backed off of the mic lately. I have not done a show in a couple months.

And that might be something we’re gonna talk about as well, because I’m trying to find my way forward in, in this journey and in the way that I’m trying to do it. So, uh, we’ve got a number of things to

[00:03:17] Al Borealis: talk about that is interesting. I,
