Please support the Skeptics Guide by backing their Kickstarter campaign!
Occ The Skeptical Caveman is a new webseries about a pre-historic caveman who is
a bit ahead of his time. He lives in a world where everyone around him is wallowing

You can watch our pilot episode and view the full pitch on our Kickastarter
project page by clicking here.
