March Bonus: Plandemic!
Despite being almost 90 minutes long, our COVID Conspiracies episode covered just a fraction of the misinformation bouncing around the country in 2020. So to cover some of the viral myths and zombie statistics we didn't get to, we decided to have a little watch party for a coronavirus conspiracy classic: "Plandemic."

February Bonus: Diets for your Brain!
Can someone's diet cure their schizophrenia? Of course not! But some real jerky psychologists & MDs in the '70s decided to tell people it could. This month, we're diving back into Aubrey's diet book collection—and this time, we're focusing on diets that claim to have psychological and behavioral effects. Buckle up, it's even more unhinged than you think!
Customer Reviews
Just excellent
I’ve enjoyed every single episode from day one of the podcast but I particularly loved the one on gender dysphoria, which prompted me to leave a review. Such an intelligent, compassionate, and wise analysis and also pretty much a masterclass in parenting and being a decent human being, in my opinion.
Aubrey and Michael, thank you for putting this out in the universe!!
Want to like it, but…
Painfully anti-science in so many ways. They really go far beyond the limits of their own knowledge to the extent that it’s potentially very misleading and even dangerous.
Delightful
I listen to this on the train, and I’m confident all surrounding commuters must think I’m insane because I can’t help but giggle every three minutes.
