Skeptiles for Monday, August 26th, 2013 — our 50th episode!

Great show! Commenting late as I listened on Stitcher. Shame no show this week, but I guess everyone needs a holiday. Chelsea Manning letter is heartbreaking, all I wanna do is break her out of jail… I hope that sometime in the non-too-distant future the US gets a leader with enough care and compassion to release her…
