The European Skeptics Podcast

The European Skeptics Podcast (or "TheESP", so as not to be confused with the other kind of ESP) is a weekly show which deals with skeptical topics (mostly) from a European perspective.
The podcast was founded in 2015[1] by Hungary's András Pintér, Sweden's Pontus Böckman and Latvia's Jelena Levin[2] at the encouragement of Susan Gerbic, who mentored András when he joined Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia in 2014.[3] Jelena left the show in 2020 when she moved to the United States and her place in the hot seat was taken by the German skeptic Annika Harrison (also a member of Gerbic's GSoW team).[4] In the last 9 years TheESP has released hundreds of episodes featuring analysis of current events, interviews of skeptical activists, long rants about Viktor Orbán and Pope Francis, and the occasional face palming when the European authorities do nothing to curb the spread of Complementary and Alternative Medicine on the continent.
The gang occasionally leaves for foreign shores to appear at skeptic conventions such as the English QED Con (where in 2017 they received the Ockham Award)[5] and the Australian SkeptiCon.[6]
Some notable people who have appeared on the show as guests include:
