Randi also contributes a regular column, titled "'Twas Brillig," to The Skeptics Society's Skeptic magazine.

He has regularly featured on many podcasts, including The Skeptics Society's official podcast Skepticality and the Center for Inquiry's official podcast Point of Inquiry. From September 2006 onwards, he has occasionally contributed to The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe podcast with a column titled "Randi Speaks."

    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    But in every constitution some large degree of animal vigor is necessary as material foundation for the higher qualities of the art.
