Hey, great to hear there'll be a new podcast coming!

It won't be the first skeptical podcast from New Zealand though - "The Unbelievers" have been broadcasting for over a year.

Sorry to burst your bubble. Let me know when your show's up - love those accents.

[vIQleS]

Ok - so I've found The Unbelievers, I haven't had a chance to listen yet, but is it more skeptical or more about atheism / religion?

At any rate - Episode Zero is nearly done and will be online soon...

Watch this space and as soon as the website is live I'll post a link.

A rather timely question - I was just reading this: UFO papers to be made public (http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/3255698/UFO-papers-to-be-made-public)

Hundreds of pages of secret files on New Zealand UFO sightings will be released by the military this year.

The files include reports of UFO sightings from 1979 to 1984 and references to the Kaikoura sighting of December 1978.

The files are held by Archives New Zealand and were to have been made public this month, but the Defence Force is removing personal information from them to comply with the Privacy Act.

"At the moment we are working on making copies of these files, minus the personal information," a Defence Force spokeswoman said. "Once this work is completed, we are hoping to be able to release a copy of all the UFO files, including some ahead of their release time, within the year."

It will be really interesting to see what those contain. The Kaikoura UFO sighting is a particularly interesting one because it's collaborated both by visual sighting and radar identification, which rules out optical tricks as an explanation.

Cheers dude. Keep up the good work!

...and thanks for putting me on to Graeme Hill!

I thought of you guys the other day when I saw this on another Kiwi forum: http://www.facebook.com/pages/CHEMTRAIL-CONSPIRACY-NEW-ZEALAND-2009-2010/106830552698686?ref=ts

Wow, they really are a bit special. Good on Jason Milch for trying to get some answers about what exactly it is they're alleging. I don't think I'd have the patience for that sort of dialogue.

I'm really enjoying the podcast as well.

[vIQleS]

Thanks for the feedback...

And yes - Graeme Hill is the man... (you can listen to a lot of his stuff online I think:

Wow! I never knew that New Zealand had a skeptical podcast. I'll have to check it out. :D

[Gibbs]

Hi guys, Im new to the JREF. I have listened to 5 of your podcasts and already loving them, keep up the good work aye.

Nice to hear skepticism in a kiwi accent, those bloody SGU guys/gal are too hard to understand! :p

[Cleon]

Cool! I hope the other parts of Australia start their own podcasts as well.

[Burning Beard]

After reading the ear candling thread I wonder if it's discussion-worthy on your podcast

I saw them on the counter at the chemist on Moorhouse Ave in ChCh by the Countdown. The pharmacist didn't seem to care too much if they worked or not, people kept buying them so he was happy.
