A list of the best skeptical, science-based, and/or atheist podcasts. Some of these podcasts fit into more than one category, but I placed them in the category I think of as the main category for the subject matter since Listal only lets me choose one. All of these podcasts can be found through iTunes and most of them offer their episodes directly from their webpage (which can be found on the description page at Listal, or below, on the text-based list).

Each weekly episode focuses on a single phenomenon - an urban legend, a paranormal claim, alternative therapy, or something just plain stupid - that you've heard of, and that you probably believe in. Skeptoid attempts to expose the folly of belief in non-evidence based phenomena, and more importantly, explains the factual scientific reality.

QuackCast
	http://moremark.squarespace.com/quackcast-home/ A podcast review of Quacks, Frauds and Charlatans. Oops. That's not right. That should be Supplements, Complementary and Alternative Medicine i.e. SCAM. Warning: This is not a balanced review. Most, if not all, of CAM is profoundly moronic. There my be two sides to gun control and foreign policy but in the sciences, including the medical sciences, either you have the data or you do not. You don't include flat earth theories in discussions of the geology and you do not include intelligent design in discussions of the origin of life. I am a member of the "reality based community". Ridicule, bewailing, and scorn are my favorite techniques. I am an arrogant, closed minded, Western trained, tool of the medical industrial complex. And proud of it.
ATHEIST PODCASTS
Mr. Deity
	Mr. Deity is a web-based comedy series created by Brian Keith Dalton. It takes a light-hearted look at God and religion. Dalton plays the title character, a neurotic god-like figure who prefers to delegate to his assistant Larry rather than do any actual work.

In his down time, Mr. Deity enjoys a tumultuous relationship with the devilish Lucifer, or Lucy for short.
