My podcast appearances so far...

The European Skeptics Podcast
On 10 February 2016, I featured on The European Skeptics Podcast (50:20–1:06:20). My friends András Pintér, Jelena Levin and Pontus Böckman interviewed me about how I got involved with the skeptical / freethought movement, the three major organisations in the Netherlands battling pseudoscience and superstition and promoting critical thinking (De Vrije Gedachte [The Free Thought], Stichting Skepsis and the Vereniging tegen de Kwakzalverij [Association Against Quackery]), and my part in this movement, e.g. as board member of De Vrije Gedachte and the Dutch team leader of Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia (GSoW).

Skepticule

On 4 May 2015, I featured on Skepticule (a.k.a. The Three Pauls Podcast, as both the host and two co-hosts are named 'Paul'), which was recorded at QED: Question, Explore Discover (28:45–46:25).


< Here we are, left to right: Paul Orton, Paul S Jenkins, me and Paul Thompson at QED in The Palace Hotel in Manchester.

They asked me about my experience of the conference and the previous one when we first met, my current projects on Wikipedia (of which I mentioned Skeptical organisations in Europe), my involvement in the Dutch freethinkers association De Vrije Gedachte (The Free Thought), my article in Skepter about GSoW, our skeptical Wikipedia project, with a special focus on the Rob Nanninga biography, and the state of secularism, atheism and free speech in the Netherlands.

Skepticality III: QED 2015

On 12 May 2015, Skepticality published a conversation that András Pintér, Jelena Levin, Pontus Böckman (the future team of the ESP), James Williams and I recorded at QED 2015 about our experiences editing Wikipedia and attending and meeting each other at that wonderful conference (25:00–37:00).

Skepticality II: The Vaccination Project
On 16 February 2015, Susan Gerbic interviewed me for Skepticality. Our conversation centred on how I was never vaccinated as a child, but when I learnt about the evidence, decided to do so in 2014, and started lecturing and writing on Wikipedia about the dangers of the antivaxx movement. The broadcast version is here (11:10–17:20), the full interview is available below.

Kritisch Denken

On 16 November 2014, my first (and so far only) solo podcast recording was published for the Dutch-speaking Belgian (Flemish) skeptical podcast Kritisch Denken ("Critical Thinking"), a Russells Theepot production. I explain why Wikipedia is a crucial battleground between science and pseudoscience, and skeptics should be there to correct misinformation and present the facts in the place where many ordinary people are looking for answers to their questions. The Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia project (GSoW) seeks to coordinate the efforts of skeptical Wikipedians to accomplish this.

Skepticality I: QED 2014
This was my first multi-day skeptical conference, where I also met some people I had acquainted on the Internet in real life, some of whom have grown out to become great friends. It's obvious that I'm nervous, my English speaking vocabulary and accent were pretty bad at that time. I'm not sure if I didn't know we were videotaped instead of just audiotaped, or that I just didn't dare look into the camera.
The first recording is about Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia project (GSoW), that brought all of us together. My part is from 4:55 to 6:20. This first recording also featured on Skepticality of 13 May 2014 (2:55–13:10), but the sound quality there is quite poor, unfortunately.

The second recording was about how cool going to skeptical conferences is. My part is from 4:45 to 6:16.
