Special: Skeptics on the Fringe 2020 details!

It's that time of year again! Only it isn't, and we're all (mostly) couped up in our homes and not having fun. But, thanks to the wonders of the internet, we're able to bring you some lockdown Fringe events! Join Mark Pentler, Sean Slater & Heather Pentler as they discuss the three events EdSkeptics will be running during what SHOULD have been the Edinburgh Fringe. The events are on 11/18/25th August at 8pm BST. For more details visit our website: <a href= "http://www.edinburghskeptics.co.uk">www.edinburghskeptics.co.uk</a> - or check out our Facebook and MeetUp events for details. We're also on Twitter as @EdSkeptics As ever, we're running our events under the banner of the PBH Free Fringe and we're encouraging people to donate directly to them this year since you can't drop money in a bucket at the end of our talks. See <a href= "https://paypal.me/freefringe">https://paypal.me/freefringe</a> for details and help the Fringe get back to its old self again in 2021.

SITP: Brexit: What Comes Next?

We're back! For one episode. Maybe more, we don't know. But we had a lot of interest in this talk from people who couldn't make it for whatever reason (mostly the novel coronavirus, as it turns out). So we popped a C90 in, hit record and play, and we're happy to bring you it just in time to kill 69 minutes-worth of lockdown. After its victory in the December 2019 election, Johnson’s radicalised Conservative Party succeeded in implementing the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union. But leaving the EU was the easy part. Now, a large number of complex and controversial policy choices, international negotiations and domestic challenges have to be addressed. And so far, the evidence suggests that the Johnson Government is committed to an extreme form of Brexit far removed from the original promises of the Leave campaign, the “deep and special partnership” model of Theresa May or even the revised Political Declaration signed off by Johnson himself in October 2019. So what will the next stage of Brexit really look like? Michael Dougan is Professor of European Law at the University of Liverpool and Joint Editor of Common Market Law Review - the world’s leading scientific journal for European legal studies.

QEDCon 2018 Special

Join us for a special episode of the podcast recorded at QEDCon 2018. QEDCon is the UK's best (only?) skeptical conference and each year a large contingent of Edinburgh Skeptics migrate south for the weekend to Manchester for it. There are talks, panels, podcast recordings, and the chance to mingle with like-minded people and swap ideas for the future. As we have done for the past few years we took the opportunity to talk to some interesting people who we bumped into over the weekend to find out what's going on right now in science and skepticism, as well as find out about QEDCon itself. In this episode: - Comedian and archaelogist Paul D. McGarrity - QEDCon 2018 compere and science communicator Helen Arney - American skeptic and podcaster Eli Bosnick - QEDCon and Greater Manchester Skeptics' co-organiser Rick Owen <a href= "https://www.qedcon.org">https://www.qedcon.org</a> Twitter: @QEDCon
