  • Novella know it all

    There is no one with a more condescending know it all attitude than Stephen Novella. Is there anything this guy doesn’t know? He constantly interrupts and corrects the other co-hosts. What are they there for? Novella is the guy behind science based medicine who stifled the views of one of its editors over gender ideology.

  • Going downhill

    Show used to be great. Lately I notice more and more they assumptions and generalizations with no real data, they just say “most people” do this or that. Cara constantly interrupts and interjects as if she knows something that nobody else does, she is often wrong. I often fast forward through her segments.
