About the Pocket Skeptimist
Every day I have far less than one hundred thoughts. I'm in no position to select one, let alone the finest. However, I will force myself to attempt to convey part of at least one of these in some sort of written form so you'll always be accompanied by some sick desperation on the train, and be no more equipped to share interesting things with your friends than you'd otherwise be.

In more seriousness (certainly not 'all' seriousness, as that's far too much responsibility to shoulder for any but the most incautious):

Why "Pocket Skeptimist" I hear you ask? The "Pocket" half of the name is easy: you are welcome to carry this channel around with you on any one of your portable devices, wherever you go!
"Skeptimist" is a little harder to defend: people often confuse scepticism/skepticism with cynicism. Skepticism is a balanced, rational approach to evaluating truth claims in any discipline, from science to the paranormal. Skeptics suspend belief until good reasons are provided to support the view. Take the credo "whatever will be will be" literally, and you may wind up somewhere close. Cynicism, however, is a biased attitude towards claims which always frames them in the negative, and bias has no place in healthy skepticism.
With the Pocket Skeptimist, Brewza hopes to remind viewers that skepticism is the most optimistic approach to finding out what's true in the world.
