Rebecca Watson of Skepchick and of The Sketptics Guide to the Universe is in the final round of a competion for a new NPR show. You can hear hear her entry and vote for her.

Help get some skepticism on the air. Voting is restricted to US residents, so you need to give them a state and zipcode (I used a Volvo autowrecker in New York).

Yes, that would be a great show, so I voted. But, remember that I don't think I ever voted for anyone that ever won anything. I voted for 'This is Hell' for the same contest, and they're out of it now.

She gets my vote.

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?
