Episode 170 - Interlude, and Another Podcast Endeavor
After being gone for "a bit" of time, I return to discuss where I've been, what to expect for the future (when more episodes will air), and if you need your fix of "Dr. Stu," there's a new podcast that I've released with two of the co-hosts of The Reality Check podcast, entitled "5 Minutes with an Astronomer." In this episode, I play four of the twenty-eight shows we have released so far.
Episode 169 - Modern Eclipse Lunacy, Part 3: Richard Hoagland's Claims
In the final regular episode in the three-part Solar Eclipse of August 2017 series, several of the claims made by Richard Hoagland are addressed. Three types of claims are examined: Whether shadow bands indicate there are glass structures on the Moon, whether the Accutron watch readings indicate there is a hyperdimensional physics, and alleged disinformation.
Episode 168 - Common (and False) Fine-Tuned Universe Beliefs, Discussed
An exploration into four groups of fine-tuning arguments used by some to say that we are special: Solar outbursts, habitable zone, lunar origin and effects, and giant planets and impacts on Earth.
Episode 167 - Modern Eclipse Lunacy, Part 2: Flat Earth
The August 2017 total solar eclipse was seen by hundreds of millions of people, and yet some of them have tried to use it to promulgate pseudoscience. In this Part 2 episode, I discuss ideas about the eclipse promoted by proponents of the idea that Earth is flat.
Videocast 1: The Cydonia Region of Mars
Explores claims made by "Mars anomalists" that the Cydonia region of Mars (the region with the "Face on Mars") was constructed, designed, or arranged by intelligent aliens. This episode takes you through the context of the claim, some of the math behind it, an exploration of the "null hypothesis" (what the results would be if it were purely random), and draws conclusions based on the latest orbital imagery of Mars.

Special Video (#01): Richard C. Hoagland and the Ziggurat on the Moon
Richard C. Hoagland is at it again; this time, I take you on a short journey exploring Hoagland's claim that there is a ziggurat on the Moon. In this video exposé, I graphically show why this is a hoax, how this is a hoax, and conclude that Hoagland is an incompetent investigator (or lying that he did any investigation).
