''Skeptoid'' is a weekly podcast created by Brian Dunning, a computer software designer turned science writer, run in association with the James Randi Educational Foundation ([http://www.randi.org/site/ JREF]), and partly inspired by ''[[The Skeptics' Guide to Thethe Universe]]''. Its subject is the 'critical analysis of pop cultural phenomena' and the investigation of the reality behind all kinds of pseudosciences, myths, urban legends or popular fads. It is generally much shorter than most other science podcasts at around 10-14 minutes per episode, mostly because the host had a regular day job for most of the duration of the show, but also to be easy to listen to and to appeal to a general mass audience.
 
You may either read or listen to podcast episodes at [http://skeptoid.com/ the show's Web site].

* [[Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti]]
Contains examples of:
* [[Bigfoot Sasquatch and Yeti]]
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Let's point the skeptical eye..." and "Be skeptical," come up at least [[Once an Episode]].
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: The podcast contains some of the finest dry verbal beatdowns anywhere in skepticism, although the host [http://skeptoid.com/blog/2011/12/06/wacko-of-the-week-is-no-more/ is apparently moving away from being snarky to opponents].
