{{600s|658|episodebox}}<!-- 

** The 800s template uses {{Episode|M|D|YYYY}} for the outline. This generates a green message box asking for help with transcribing the episode. 

** If you intend to transcribe the whole episode, please REPLACE the "Episode" template above with the "transcribing all" template:

{{transcribing all
|transcriber 	= 
|date		= YYYY-MM-DD
}}

** If you only want to work on a section, just add the "transcribing section" template BELOW the "Episode" template above to indicate you are not working on the entire transcription:

{{transcribing section
|transcriber 	=
|date		= YYYY-MM-DD
}}

** If you use the "transcribing section" template (placing it here, at the top of the transcript under the "Episode" template), make sure you also have a "transcribing" template above whichever section you're currently working on:

{{transcribing
|transcriber 	=
|date		= YYYY-MM-DD
}} 

** If you want to hide the "Editing Required" and "This Outline/Use Outline" message boxes, just put the < ! - - and - - > (no spaces) markup offset punctuation code before "Editing Required" and after the "Outline" templates. You will need to temporarily remove the - - > markup code in the markup text for them.

** Once transcription is complete, please delete this markup section!

== Introduction, No Jay ==
''Voice-over: You're listening to the Skeptics' Guide to the Universe, your escape to reality.''<!-- 

** (at least this is usually the first thing we hear)

** Here is a typical intro by Steve, with (applause) descriptors for during live shows:

'''S:''' Hello and welcome to the {{SGU|link=y}}. ''(applause)'' Today is _______, and this is your host, Steven Novella. ''(applause)'' Joining me this week are Bob Novella... 

'''B:''' Hey, everybody! ''(applause)''

'''S:''' Cara Santa Maria... 

'''C:''' Howdy. ''(applause)'' 

'''S:''' Jay Novella... 

'''J:''' Hey guys. ''(applause)''

'''S:''' ...and Evan Bernstein. 

'''E:''' Good evening folks! ''(applause)''-->

{{Page categories 		<!-- it helps to write a short description with the (episode number) which can then be used to search for the [Short description (nnnn)]s to create pages for redirects. 

Instead of adding an entire episode to a category, once redirects have been created, we suggest typing "redirect(s) created for" in front of the text you hide in the markup that follows the category name, seen in this "page categories" template.
