Perry DeAngelis, the inspiratioon for the founding of the New England Skeptical Society and one of the "Skeptical Rogues" of the Skeptics Guide to the Universe podcast. Perry's caustic wit always made me smile when I listened to their podcasts. This is a great loss to the skeptical community.

You and JohnOAS introduced me to the podcast, and am grateful. I'm listening to the show now.

The previous show had Perry singing his contribution to the show from his sick bed.

I don't think I could ever listen to that bit again.

The latest SGU podcast features Perry on "The Psychology of Belief" and includes fan's favorite clips of Perry - those will be a hoot.
