This episode was recorded when Science for the People was called Skeptically Speaking.

We looked at the increasing focus on interactivity at science and skeptical conferences.

And on Speaking Up, we talk to Skepticamp founder Reed Esau talks about the creation of the Skepticamp interactive conference.
