We interview Danny Zepeda, a skeptical blogger living in Morelia, a city in central Mexico. He talks about the state of freethought South of the Border, the prevalence of superstition and alt-medicine quackery in Mexican society, and the challenges of raising children to be critical thinkers. Visit Danny’s Spanish-language blog Un Papá Escéptico (A Skeptical Papa) at papaesceptico.wordpress.com. If you can’t read Spanish, try pasting the URL into the Babel Fish text translation tool: the results are sometimes a bit iffy but readable.

Loved the podcast most especially with Danny because I am a good ol’ Texas girl, married to a Mexican agnostic who lives in Monterrey, Mexico. We travel back and forth between countries and I must admit, my Spanish is no where near as good as my husband’s English. So, I can’t wait for him to see Danny’s blog. Maybe we can get something started in Monterrey too.
Ironically, I was still a “believer” when I met my husband some 20 years ago, and he was the agnostic. Now, I am the athiest, and he is still the agnostic! :0 Great show, guys, thanks.
