Content Roundup: October 2011

Wow, October was busy for me. Maybe not Novella-level busy, but I’ve had a faster pace of posting over at JREF’s blog, and high interest in my social media posts. So if you missed some of the action during October, here’s a way to catch up.

This is the monthly roundup – links to all the content I’ve been involved with in the last month. It includes this blog as well as the stuff I post on other blogs, my podcasting activities, my best posts on Twitter as well as key shout-outs or mentions elsewhere.

Blogging

Here were my blog posts this month. I’m starting to get a bit more productive and work on a schedule. Also, you can see I’ve started posting some short Skeptic History essays over at the JREF site in addition to the all other venues.

Mentions and follow-ups on other blogs:

Podcasting

I contributed Skeptic History segments to these episodes of Skepticality:

Some shout-outs and mentions on other podcasts:

If you haven’t listened to Scopes yet, I highly recommend it. It focuses on the intersection between skepticism and sound and music. I love skeptic specialization like that, it’s really the way to go.

Social Media

I posted on Twitter:

  • 169 regular tweets, including:
    • 19 “What’s the harm in…?” stories
    • 31 Skeptic History facts
  • 133 replies to other Twitter posts

Here are highlights, the tweets that were retweeted the most. October began with two different celebrity “What’s the Harm” stories in the same week. First Kevin Sorbo:
