Most two year olds are immature and sometimes bratty. But not this one.

Because it's not a person, it's a radio show. Run by a person. And some other people.

I want to extend my warmest congratulations to Desiree Schell and Skeptically Speaking, the Canadian skeptics radio show and podcast with the motto: "Call In. Question Everything."

Desiree has been cranking this show out for almost two years, and the second anniversary will be this coming Sunday, when the 104th show will be recorded. That show will air on Friday, March 25th.

Skeptically Speaking exceeds or equals the best of the best in skeptical radio, and over the last two years has been enjoyed by an increasingly broad audience in live form or as a podcast.

Over this time, I've felt very fortunate to have gotten to know Desiree, who is an amazing person with brilliant qualities including but not limited to a tungsten-sharp mind, a fiercely honest and pure ethic, and a truly noble heart. I love her and am proud that she is my friend and amazed that she is my colleague. In a world (the podosphere) where few things last two years, or if they do, are usually so sullied that they are ignored or disdained, Desiree is only getting started with Skeptically Speaking.

(And that's only the Skeptically speaking part of what she does, because it is that show's anniversary. Don't get me started on everything else.)

But as amazing as Desiree is, she does not produce this show alone. Kudos also to K.O. Myers, the show's amazing producer, Ryan Bromsgrove who makes it happen on a shoestring as well as Lisa Schovanek and Brent Kelly and the rest of the crew.

Happy Anniversary Desiree, K.O., Ryan, All of you, and Skeptically Speaking!

Congratulations Desiree! I've been listening to your podcast for most of the two years! May you have many more years and a stinking rich benefactor!

OT, but just letting you know yours is one of the scienceblogs I seem to only be able to get to via Google Cache, but still reading :)
