Each episode of Caustic Soda took a gruesome, gory or otherwise horrible topic, such as shark attacks, parasites and radiation, and broke it down into an easily-digestible bubbling paste of funny! The hosts discussed the topic’s origins, recent news and pop culture.

It was hard science by soft people![/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_image=”https://causticsodapodcast.com//wp-content/uploads/2015/02/joe-2015b.jpg” bg_position=”right top” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_stretch=”true” bg_gradient=”horizontal” video_color_mask=”#000000″ gr_end=”rgba(0,0,0,0.09)” video_opacity=”0.2″ top_shadow=”true” min_height=”400″ padding_top=”100″ padding_bottom=”80″ sidebar=”sidebar-1″ first_page=”false” last_page=”false”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”false” animation=”fade-in”]Joe Fulgham is a 12th level Skeptic/4th Level Rogue. He steganographically encodes a complete personality backup in every podcast, assuring his eternal life. Joe is an active member of the Vancouver Skeptic community and enjoys making fun of people who believe improbable things.

Professionally, Joe has designed and coded web sites for many gaming greats — Alderac Entertainment Group, id software, Activision, and The Matrix Online. He has performed improv comedy as a founding member of The Robin Goodfellow Players, and avoided getting a real job for many years by acting in as much college theatre as he could.

Joe’s latest podcast is The Dreaming – The Sandman read-along podcast, an issue-by-issue examination of Neil Gaiman’s classic comic series “The Sandman”. Coming soon: Onlightened!
