I'm on the latest instalment of the Skeptic's Guide podcast talking about the Mora/Orsa electrophobia case and the Obscurantist of the Year anti-award. I also mention a bunch of upcoming European skeptics' conventions, though Steve Novella cut out the bit where I recommended that the skeptical rogues grow mullet hair styles and mustaches for the Berlin meeting in May to honour the German porn industry.
(My previous interview with the SGU, about the Swedish Skeptics and weird archaeology, was almost four years ago! Time flies.)

A discussion in the comments section of the recent Skeptics' Circle reminded me of something I learned only after years in the skeptical movement.
As the person entrusted with the skeptical bloggy goodness that arrives every other week in the form of the Skeptics' Circle, how could I refuse to hawk something like this e-mail:
It's that time again, time for the 38th Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle.

One question, when and were is the 2013 Skeptics conference being held in Sweden?

We haven't decided yet when it'll be. But it will in all likelihood be in Stockholm or Gothenburg, where most of our events take place.
I was listening to the Skeptics Guide and heard you talking about Mora, my great grandfathers home town. My cousins there own and operate Mora Knives. I will put you on my favorites list.
Enjoyed your contribution to the SGU very much. I'm an Irishman living in Sweden and desperate for some skeptical contact.
Who in Göteborg can you recommend as a point of contact?
Thanks Steve!
Brian, I've emailed you.
