Hello! Welcome to the End of the World and/or Christmas 2012!

This week we don't have a Soapbox, but we're discussing all things apocalyptic-y and have some light-hearted festive fun around our potential last day on the planet, with regulars Janis Callister, Gavin Schofield and Rick Owen, and almost regular Geoff Whelan.

GMSS Skeptics in the Pub regular, Nick, tells us his best candidate for disaster, whilst at the Pub.

Janis asks if we should tell our kids the truth about Santa (that he farts and steals money out of Dot Cotton's purse).  

Rick dutifully explains what we really might have to worry about here on planet earth (glad someone is thinking ahead).

Gavin... well... it's hard to describe some days. You're probably better off just listening. 

Oh and while I've got you, don't forget to google the wonderful Astronomycast Podcast. No Cheating, get right in at episode 1!

Join us for Episode 29 of Just Skeptics.  This episode is a little late due to a pesky little nerve, we hope it won't spoil your enjoyment :)

This week we have returning guest host Geoff Whelan ranting about something he saw on the internet, of all places!

We also discuss 'The Bloop', underwater monitoring, submarines and Operation Ivy Mike, plus Gav fills us in on an interdimensional rift in North Yorkshire, important for the future of mankind. Miss this episode at your peril!
