This week, Ryan and I have a special treat: we’re offering one of our Bonus Shows as a clever marketing technique to get you to become patrons of the site. Yes, I am fully aware of how cruel it may seem, but please remember that we survive entirely on your generosity. Hey, If we can’t get you to shell out 20 bucks a year (that’s about 1.67 a month), what hope is there left for the world?
This week, we talk about the sordid history of the now debunked claim that the MMR vaccine causes autism. We also talk about a group in Milwaukee that wants to sue for the right to burn a book on homosexuality. It’s 30 minutes of some good godless podcastin’!

Hey man, don’t be shitting on Jenny, she’s got MOMMY INSTINCTS!
That surely trumps science.
I’ve read Dr Novella’s blog posts on sciencebasedmedicine about MMR,
and he’s A MAN!! What could he possibly know about mommy instincts?
All he has is his MD and years of experience. Bah.
Oh, and when it comes to marketing, are you guys plugged into all the other podcasts? skeptics guide to the universe, skepticality, point of inquiry, etc etc?
I’m sure they’ve got some linking etc going on that you could get in on to drive some traffic.
