Skeptic Review

Mythicist Milwaukee is an all-volunteer organization founded to promote viewpoint diversity through conversation. Topics explored go beyond religion and move into other deeply held beliefs, examining their origins, searching for commonalities, and promoting respect, empathy and understanding—and, sometimes, simply agreeing to disagree—all through intelligent dialogue.

This year’s Mythcon is scheduled for Saturday, September 22, 2018. From 10:30 am to 9 pm (followed by an after-party), the event will feature the following topics and speakers:
