45. Power, Sex and Psychopathy with Dr. Kate Balestrieri
Today we're going to talk about some hard subjects--adultery, violence, power, and psychopathy. During the last few weeks I've been in touch with many amazing people from all around the internet who are trying to understand how deep the problems with Andrew Huberman really go. One of the people I met was the sex and relationship counselor Kate Balestreri and I'm so glad that we had some time to sit down together.

43. What's Wrong with Huberman's Science? | ft Dr. Andrea Love
So maybe you don't care about what happens in Andrew Huberman's personal life. So long as his science checks out, what's the harm? Well, I hate to break it to you but his science doesn't really check out either. From cherry-picked results to quack "protocols" Huberman frequently overextends his knowledge and starts shilling pseudoscience. This week on the show I talk to the immunologist Dr. Andrea Love to set the record straight.
You can find out more about Dr. Love at her website:

42. The Skeleton Business's Murderous Legacy
At its height, the bone factories in Calcutta exported more than 60,000 anatomical skeletons a year to medical programs all over the world. Most of the bones had been looted from graves and burning ghats. Still, anatomy processors made millions of dollars stealing and then exporting those bodies abroad. Today, those hundreds of tons of human remains are in closets and specimine collections all around American and Europe...and now we need to decide what to do with them.
Today my guest is Sabrina Agarwal a professor and the chair of the department of anthropology at the University of California-Berkeley who specializes in bioarchaeology. She just wrote an article in Nature digging into the ethical dilemma we all face when thinking about how to deal with the legacy of the skeleton trade.

Customer Reviews
Absolutely killin it!!
Real life walking the walk stuff, very helpful as we all navigate the vast breadth of information out there. Thank-you!
It’s Rad!
Truly unique podcast and not a constant advertisement like many others. Investigative journalism is alive and well here folks.
Great podcast!!
I was clued into this podcast from Rob Orman’s Stimulus podcast, I’ve been binging it ever since. I’m currently listening to the how to start a cult episode and it is really resonating with me. For what it’s worth, it makes me consider starting my own cult lol.
Also I’m not sure why this put my name as “irritated in NY” because I’m not irritated at all. I’m absolutely loving this, no irritation whatsoever.
