  • Refreshing

    Great investigative journalism content. Scot creates a streamlined narrative with humour, easily understandable and non patronising. Great power of concision, still keeping the podcast informative and fun. Very addictive.

  • Great podcast! A suggestion:

    I hope you will do a deep dive on Elizabeth April and other charismatic influencers who misuse "quantum physics" to lure in spiritualists with the language of science and promote conspiracy theories (including a resurgence of reptilian mythology)

  • Confused

    I like that extreme health fads are being talked about & debunked but I can’t understand how an investigative reporter knew unsettling things about Wim Hoff in 2013 still wrote favourably about him. He helped promote Hoff & now critiques the man & method. He is only now a serious investigative journalist? It seems he really wasn’t ten years ago or spoken about this much sooner.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cursing Peter Thiel
Q: What did she know specifically about that site?
Kenney explains that people use words alongside stones, commonly moving anti-clockwise and turning stones left as they repeat a curse three or seven times.
Cursing Peter Thiel
Q: So who can curse?
Gillian Kenney says anyone can curse, describing it as a tool of the oppressed that is not inherently evil and should be used for a just cause.
AI Designed a Lethal Virus Never before seen in Nature. . . Now What?
Q: What concrete steps should governments or institutions take to prevent a misuse scenario without stifling innovation?
Strengthen select-agent-like regulations to cover smaller DNA fragments and sequences, improve screening of gene orders, invest in national PPE stockpiles, and pursue defensive technologies that reduce transmission, such as safe environmental controls, all while fostering responsible research practices.
AI Designed a Lethal Virus Never before seen in Nature. . . Now What?
Q: What are the biggest risks, and where do you see the balance between opportunity and danger in gene drives and AI-enabled biotech?
Gene drives can eradicate disease vectors like malaria, but they carry the risk of unintended ecological effects; AI can amplify both beneficial and harmful applications, so governance, transparency, and layered defenses are essential to maximize benefits while minimizing harm.
AI Designed a Lethal Virus Never before seen in Nature. . . Now What?
Q: Can you explain what the Stanford virus design experiment showed and why it matters for biosecurity?
The Stanford work demonstrated an AI-assisted design process that produced viable mutations in a viral family, underscoring that AI can accelerate the creation of biological variants and that safeguards must evolve to prevent misuse while allowing legitimate research.
