  • As well as the wellness industry, this podcast is about skepticism and critical thinking, two skills society is desperately short of. The presenters are the real deal.

    I did turn it off after the animal abuse. I had to put on Heated Rivalry to recover. But I will come back to it, because I’m a masochist and I love hearing you lovingly and hatefully tearing this man apart.

    I’ve been a huge fan of this show for years now. I teach science writing and often assign the episodes on BMI and the “Obesity Epidemic” to my college students. I appreciate how the hosts demonstrate how to read scientific studies critically and have often wished they’d do an episode explicitly about how to read scientific literature. Thanks, you two!
