CORICast

Hot on the heels of our previous episode, comes CORICast for June 10, 2010.

• David has a case of chip envy with Northrop Grumman’s Terahertz processor project.
• Mark takes on the urban legend that a dog’s mouth is cleaner than a human’s mouth.
• Chad discusses how methamphetamine can enhance your memory, and how cheerleaders with midriff-baring uniforms are more at risk for eating disorders. (We needed a study for that?)

Apologies for the audio quality on this one.  I am working with some new equipment, and am still figuring out some things.  We are improving continuously.

Also, we’re working on some new features for the show, but are always looking for suggestions.  If you have anything you’d like to hear on the podcast, please shoot us an email at coricast@gmail.com, or follow us up on Twitter at http://twitter.com/coricast.

Thanks for listening.

Back from the dead… Chad, Mark and David release a brand new (to you…) episode of CORICast!

• David spends a little time discussing the various entertainments that were amalgamated to form… SkeptiCamp Ohio 2010.
• Mark eats his way to a spicer sex life.
• Chad saves mice from dementia with a bone marrow transplant.
• David boosts fuel cell efficiency using palladium, instead of platinum.

Enjoy.
-David.

So here we are in May, and the April episodes aren’t up yet. A confluence of factors contribute to our untimeliness, but rest assured, we’ll be posting some new episodes soon, including our first LIVE podcast, direct from the 2010 Ohio Skepticamp! Much fun was had at the event, I can tell you. Links cometh…

Later,
-D.

What’s this? Two posts in two days? I suspect divine intervention… but whatever the cause, here’s the latest CORICast.

Anyway: With David providing only the color commentary this week, Mark tells the story of a supposed Mythbusters fan who failed to heed the “do not try this at home” disclaimer, and Chad contributes some details on the origins of the following day, April Fool’s Day.

Your shoelace is untied! Unless your shoes are velcro, in which case, your tiny hooks and loops are undone! No, that doesn’t seem quite so funny, does it…

Enjoy.

Yes, we’re behind. But it’s a nice behind, don’t you think? Anyway, here’s the latest CORICast…

Chad has a few *more* words for us about climate change denialism, Mark discourses on the local cost of “Bottled Ghost“, and David says something or other about flying cars for some reason. Who knows.

Enjoy!

Joining us for a very special CORICast, the inimitable Jen Myers takes a spin on our skeptical merry-go-round. David ‘breaks the chain’ in a particularly annoying chain letter. Mark celebrates the potential beginning of the end of homeopathy in the UK. Thirsty for knowledge? Chad brings beer. (And why shouldn’t he?) Finally, we all engage in some speculation of some odd behavior in certain marine life.

Enjoy. (Links coming soon.)

Mark lets the milk go bad, and doesn’t give a damn, according to an article from Slate.
Chad can hold his breath until he turns blue, but not quite as long as this guy… David discusses the amazing Jesus pain bracelet and plays games with us, yet again.

The show can be downloaded directly, here.

Enjoy.

Mark rocks out like a madman to the heavy metal stylings of… the beetles?
Chad shaves a few years off our lives using the Doomsday Clock. Finally, well, David is just playing games with us now….

The episode can be downloaded directly, here.

Enjoy.

Here’s the latest episode of CORICast, recorded February 4, 2010.

Mark shares a book in progress from Dr. David Dosa, about the infamous Death Cat, Oscar. Chad discusses the trial of John Freshwater, a teacher from Mount Vernon OH, who referred to the bible as a scientific text, and burned crosses in his student’s arms. Finally, David researches some claims made about his favorite Swedish DIY furniture store, including a claim that IKEA uses child labor. Finally, Chad leads a bit of free discussion ensues at the end about ‘teleporting energy‘.

Cue the violins…

CORICast is on hiatus for just a bit, while we all recover from various impairments. We will be back with a somewhat accelerated schedule once we’re all in fighting form. Until then… vigilance.

-David.
