Presented by Skeptic magazine, MonsterTalk is hosted by Blake Smith (a friend of mine), Dr. Karen Stollznow, and Ben Radford. Here is a description from the site:
So Blake has always had a love for horror and the macabre. In fact, he is the reason why we have an H.P. Lovecraft Forum (it sure would be nice if he would visit again ...).
MonsterTalk is an excellent, skeptical look at monsters, whether modern or ancient. The core team is well qualified: Blake Smith is an excellent investigator, Ben Radford edits the Skeptical Inquirer, and Dr. Karen Stollznow writes monthly columns for both Skeptical Inquirer and Skeptic Magazine. Even if you're not interested in monsters per se, investigating monsters turns out to be a wonderful way to explore science, folklore, and human perception.

And human nature, as many monster stories turn out to be hoaxes or practical jokes. But there is something instinctive about the human need to monsterfy the unknown. Whether you're walking through a noisy wood at night or stepping quickly along a dark sidewalk, there is something about the mysterious quality of natural sounds in the right environment that make you want to see and hear things that should not be there. There must be a reason why we fear things that go bump in the night.
