TheESP – Ep. #403 – Retract homeopathy!


After the normal meet and greet, we have an interview with Norbert Aust – German skeptic and one of the initiators of INH, Information Network Homeopathy. He brings us up to date on what’s going on and reports on the fight to get fraudulent and incorrect ‘scientific’ papers retracted. We later get a ‘TWISH’ about the ‘Festival of Reason’, a failed and misguided attempt to get rid of religion during the French revolution. Then, it’s time for the news:

  • TURKEY: Did archeologists find Noah’s Ark?
  • UK: ‘Conversion therapy’: UK government kicks ban down the road?
  • GERMANY: Esoterics prey on people with fertility issues
  • INTERNATIONAL: Global survey finds 85% of people worried about online disinformation

This week’s Really Wrong Award goes to the BBC and to Michael Mosely for spreading nonsense on the ‘Just One Thing’ podcast.

Enjoy!
