Customer Reviews
Awesome podcast
I love the humor and inventiveness that the Winnipeg Skeptics put into each episode. As an American listener, it helps me understand a little better how the rest of the world deals with atheism and how much better the US could deal with this growing trend of intellectual individuals.
