The new episode of skepticality is about the Atlanta Skepticamp that occured in February.
To me, this episode is even better than usual, because I attended this Skepticamp.
In fact, there is even an extract about my own presentation  (and boy does my accent make me cringe!).
So listen away my friends, listen away!

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

What accent? Sounds American to me.

Really?
Did you listen to the podcast? Did you reach the point where I am talking?
I am... skeptical. |

I listened to it all, mon ami. An Acadian accent is 100% American. And a joy to the ear.
