TANK Vodcast – Becomes The Skeptic Zone!

Yes, it is indeed true – as reported on the Australian Skeptics site! The TANK Vodcast has become

The Skeptic Zone – at www.skepticzone.tv!

 

We launched at Dragon*Con this month, with two panels devoted to three members of the former TANK vodcast!

For the first time in 2008, a new arm to Dragon*Con was introduced, known as SkepTrack and we were a big part of it. Along with the likes of James Randi, Dr Michael Shermer, Derek and Swoopy from Skepticality, Dr Pamela Gay from Astronomy Cast, DJ Grothe from Point of Inquiry, Dr Ginger Campbell, Dr Phil Plait (‘the Bad Astronomer’) AND our very own Richard Saunders, Karen Stollznow and Kylie Sturgess representing Australia!

It was a very busy weekend for our Aussies who packed in over a dozen panels in total, including Skeptics 101, Video Podcasting 101, Supernatural How-To, Pigs Might Fly – An Origami Discussion and Global skepticism, with surprise guest, James Randi. The big news is the guys also re-launched the Tank Podcast, now know as The Skeptic Zone. 

Next year looks to be even bigger for us Aussies at the ‘Con’ and you can keep up to date by going here:

And check out Kylie’s blog (www.podblack.com) for additional accounts and videos.

Based on the exhaustive panel schedule and equally mad social calendar, it’s seems SkepTrack is destined to become the next big sceptical event. And in the words of Richard Saunders; ‘You won’t believe it, it’s completely mind blowing..’ so my advice is to start saving now!

Don’t forget to stay tuned to the news regarding the new format of The Skeptic Zone – available on out the new site soon!

TANK Vodcast – Paging You On Facebook!

Thanks to the encouragement of Daniel Loxton of Junior Skeptic (do check out the respective pages of Skeptic and Skepticality!) – The TANK Vodcast is now profiled with a great new page on Facebook!

This page is able to be accessed by anyone, not just the enthusiastic masses on Facebook. Our previous ‘group’ will be phased out in order to take advantage of the features that a page will bring us, including more comment-box and forum sections – just like you’ve requested!

Best of all, we’ve featured our new promotional videos there, with both a snappy five-minute introductory version and a twenty-minute ‘best of’ round-up that features highlights from our 2007 to 2008 Season One shows.

Don’t forget that the series is for sale with links right here on our blog!

TANK Vodcast – Reporters Unite!

Yes, it’s true. We have discovered that The TANK Vodcast reporters aren’t just good looking (*ahem*) images on your screen or voices of reason in the ether of cyberspace – but true skeptical investigators who can team up in the real world and have a great time whilst at it!

NSW Reporter Michael Wolloghan was on the scene at the last Skeptics in the Pub! Whilst the Sydney Skeptics were showing the spirits what getting into the spirit of things was really all about, he joined hosts Richard Saunders and Stefan Sojka, as they prepared for the last TANK Vodcast episode for the season. As footage of the evening will show, the team not only joined the spoon-bending merriment but for some rather merry renditions of what just might be ‘Waltzing Matilda’ for the benefit of Alison Smith (Mp3 of episode Sept. 4th, 2006) who needed some evidence herself of what an classic Aussie ballad was like! You’ll have to listen (and watch!) for yourself!

Then it was all points south (or way out east for one!) as the skeptics converged on Wagga Wagga, for an almighty meeting of the minds at the Australian Skeptic Conference to discuss future directions and national goals! There Queensland reporter Jayson Cooke, Richard Saunders and Western Australian reporter Kylie Sturgess were presenting, networking and interviewing for further episodes and certainly setting the example. You can look forward to interviews with Paul Willis and Dr Martin Bridgstock of Griffith University featured in the next fantastic season of The TANK Vodcast!
