James Randi Educational Foundation - Podcasts and Videos

Podcasts and Videos

The James Randi Educational Foundation produces two audio podcasts, For Good Reason and Consequence. For Good Reason is an interview program hosted by D.J. Grothe, promoting critical thinking and skepticism about the central beliefs of society. Consequence is a biweekly podcast in which regular people share their personal narratives about the negative impact a belief in pseudoscience, superstition, and the paranormal has had on their lives.

The JREF also produces a regular video cast and YouTube show, The Randi Show, in which JREF outreach coordinator Brian Thompson interviews JREF founder James Randi on a variety of skeptical topics, often with lighthearted or comedic commentary.


The JREF is affiliated with The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe podcast, where James Randi sometimes speaks in a format reminiscent of a column, recounting adventures from his career as a debunker of psychics.


The Foundation produced its own "Internet Audio Show" which ran from January–December 2002 and was broadcast via a live stream. The archive can be found as mp3 files on their website and as a podcast on iTunes.

Famous quotes containing the word videos:

    Ambivalence reaches the level of schizophrenia in our treatment of violence among the young. Parents do not encourage violence, but neither do they take up arms against the industries which encourage it. Parents hide their eyes from the books and comics, slasher films, videos and lyrics which form the texture of an adolescent culture. While all successful societies have inhibited instinct, ours encourages it. Or at least we profess ourselves powerless to interfere with it.
    C. John Sommerville (20th century)
