Back Off Man, I'm a Scientist podcasting from the heart of Texas

Episode 5 – Do You Believe in Magic?

It's MAGIC!

In which Charles and Sarah ponder the following questions:

  • Why Do People Believe Stupid Things?
  • Is Bigfoot on Mars?
  • Why are Reiki healers always sick?

And alien abduction stories, 21st century ailments, oh and all the other things that just plain tick us off.

Plus, we love Captain Disillusion and want you to visit his YouTube page.

Here's a specific link to the Man on Mars episode we reference on the podcast.
