Robynn "Swoopy" McCarthy is an American skeptic and podcaster. She is the producer and co-host, with Derek Colanduno, of the talk show Skepticality,^[1] the official biweekly podcast of The Skeptics Society's Skeptic magazine.^[2] She is the Director for the Podcasting fan track at Dragon*Con.^[3]

Swoopy has been the main researcher and writer for the Skepticality podcast since co-host Colanduno suffered an aneurysm-like brain Arteriovenous malformation in September 2005. Besides her scientific skepticism, she has an artistic side with interests including audio production, photography, and fine arts.^[4]

She has been interviewed on the XM-Sirius show & podcast Slice of SciFi,^[5] and on The Skeptic Zone.^[6]

McCarthy is the namesake for the asteroid 106537 McCarthy.^[7] It was named after her by Jeff Medkeff because he felt Swoopy had "pioneered the new media of podcasting and put it to service for skeptical thinking."^[8]
