#69: Planes, Bee Brains, and Taxes

Greetings people of the future, we recorded this week’s show on Monday because of the Second Law of Thermodynamics otherwise known as Murphy’s Law. First we talked Michigan income tax, its possible destruction, and the fiscal consequences. Then we buzzed into the surprising complexity and dexterity of Bee Brains in our first science segment in a while. Finally, we closed out the show with talk of Boeing; more specifically whether or not they are pulling their weight in making America Great.

#68: Orwell VS Huxley/Humanity Values

Is homeschooling a detriment to a child’s social development? This week we will tackle if homeschooling is harming children or if it has become a tangible option given the recent nomination of Betsy Devos. Then we will interview David Teachout, founder of Life Weavings and Humanity Values Podcast, as we talk about how his experience and degree’s make for an educational show. We will then end on a discussion about Neil Postman’s book “Amusing Ourselves To Death” and we look at whether or not the future is closer to an Orwellian or Huxley perspective.

#67: Thoughts From The Cellar: Neil M. Gorsuch

In this short discussion, Cellar Door Skeptics hosts talk about Trumps appointment to the Supreme Court. This short is an expansion of the show and a way for you to catch all the after show action.

This is a little more ranty but has all the passion and fire of Tanner's speeches but the collective expression and thoughtfulness of Hanna's intelligence. Together they cover topics that will keep you up to date and informed.

#67: Angry Gay Pope/Vegetarian Morality

Shaking up the podcast for this episode we decided it would be a good to listen to others more than rant ourselves. We begin the episode off talking with the Angry Gay Pope about his activism with and what are the best ways to protest Scientology. The middle of the show consists of an interview with a vegan about some of the reasons behind why someone would be vegan. This story discussion brings the human element by allowing her to provide her viewpoint to the listeners. We continue the talk with some perspective and research we have done on vegan and vegetarianism. The show ends with a frank discussion about rioting.

#66: Trump Mania, Executive Orders, and Women Beyond Belief

Remember the phrase “Trumped Up Trickle Down” from the debates? Well here at Cellar Door Skeptics are tackling the month old question about Trump’s executive orders and how they are reshaping America. We also interview a wonderful author, Karen Garst, about her most recent book “Women Beyond Belief”. This episode will also contain a discussion our Chinese future, and leaving the TPP. Buckle up and enjoy the ride as we entertain, educate, and hopefully make you think.

#64: Cellar Door Spacemen of Astronomy

On Tonight’s episode of Cellar Door Skeptics, we take another look at Dan Batcheldor book “Astronomy Saves the World” while discussing some of Dan’s most recent projects he is working on. If the word astronomy and PhD did not strike your fancy, we will travel back in time to look at the myth of whether or not sugar makes kids hyper. Hanna then will take the show off the rails by proposing that Humans can run faster than Animals. And to cap off this science extravaganza, we will tackle NIMBY: The Myth of a Free Utopia. So sit back, relax, and let this episode warm your brain while feeding educational desires.

#63: Russians Be A Hackin

There has been a lot of accusations and discussions on whether or not the Russians helped Donald Trump win the election. This episode we will dedicate the first hour to discussing the evidence for and against this notion along with a discussion on how this actually affected the election. During the second hour of the show, Cellar Door Skeptics cover whether or not the smoking ban has been beneficial to your health along with how it affects your freedoms. We close the show out discussing CHS Syndrome, if it is a real thing and if that should affect the legalization of Marijuana.
