episode 404: TheESP – Ep. #404 – The world is really old
Despite the numerology, this episode CAN be found wherever you get your podcasts. We will give you tips about The Conspiracy Test, the Humanist UK 2024 Convention, the latest Skeptical Inquirer interview and Skepticon 2023 in Australia – all good things to check out! In TWISH we hear about one of Darwin’s buddies, the groundbreaking (pun intended) geologist Charles Lyell, born this week in 1797. Pope Frankie has been given a free pass for too long and therefore gets poked before we get to the news:
- GERMANY: Nutrition companies are preying on people and ignore health advice
- UK: Humanists UK welcomes Private Member’s Bill to ban conversion therapy
- HUNGARY: Team of debunkers and educators develops online educational material to help young people detect false information
- UK: The British public largely supports strong climate policies
The Antivaxx movement gets a Really Wrong award for trying to exploit the tragic death of Matthew Perry and in Who’s Quacking? we hear about Norbert Schobert, Hungarian spreader of disinformation.
Enjoy!
