Fresh AiR
113 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 1 year ago - ★★★★★ - 2 ratings‘Fresh AiR’ is a podcast, hosted by Joe, Martijn and Dave. It is part of Answers in Reason but hopes to bring a fresh perspective on a number of topics.
Philosophy, Science, and the intersection with social and secular issues is our main focus; we aim to ascend the tribe and do more than simply claim to be sceptics by actually taking the time to understand what scepticism is.
Season 1 first launched in 2019 and other authors became a part of the crew. Over time we grew and also undertook our live stream, the "SciPhi" show on YouTube
