    Dogs: How Did They Win Our Hearts (And Our Snacks)?

    Welcome to the doggone truth! This week on The Bare Facts, we sniff out the science and sweet stories that make our pups so much more than pets. From Hachiko, the world’s most loyal dog (even if it was the ultimate case of ghosting), to the mind-boggling history of how wild wolves became our lovable floofs. Ever wonder why just gazing into your dog’s eyes feels so magical? Turns out it’s more than puppy love—it's science! And for those with their own naughty pup fear not. We’ll share how dog behavior specialist Nathan Williams’ genius techniques are (finally) helping us turn down the bark-o-meter on our own reactive rescues.

    There's No Bad Dogs Only Bad Owners

    We're diving into the age-old debate: is there really no such thing as a bad dog, only bad owners? We sit down with dog behavior specialist Nathan Williams, who’s here to shake up everything you thought you knew about dog training. Forget what you’ve heard about treats, stress-free playtime, or steering clear of stressful situations—Nathan’s approach involves not playing with your dog, skipping the snack bribes, and even taking a page out of the horse whisperer’s playbook. Whether your fur baby’s a barker, a chewer, or just a little too attached, Nathan’s got some wild advice that just might make you see your four-legged friend in a whole new way. Prepare for a few laughs, a few “aha” moments, and maybe a moment of awkward eye contact with your dog as you wonder… is it really you?

    Vegan Meat Isn't Vegan

    We’re peeling back the layers on a juicy topic: is vegan meat… actually vegan? Sounds dumb, right? But there’s more to it than meets the taste buds. Joined by Chris McCallum, COO and CFO of Fable Food Co, we dive into the meaty details behind plant-based “meat”—what’s really in it, how it stacks up nutritionally to the real deal, and whether it’s as green as advertised. Are we biting into the future of food or just another overcooked trend? Tune in as we tackle the surprising pros and cons, dish up some myths, and find out if vegan meat is as plant-powered as we think!

    Shakespeare Stole His Plots

    We unravel one of the Bard’s most persistent myths: Was Shakespeare a literary genius—or just really good at "borrowing" other people’s ideas? Joining us is Emma Smith, Professor of Shakespeare Studies at Oxford University and author of This Is Shakespeare, to help us dig through the drama. We explore how Shakespeare's background and the era he lived in set him up for legendary success, why his works have stood the test of time (even though he didn’t invent any new words—sorry, Shakespeare fans), and what modern movies and stories are secretly based on his plays. Tune in to find out whether Shakespeare was more remix artist than original thinker, and why, 400 years later, we still can’t stop talking about him!

    Vaccines: A Shot in the Arm or a Shot in the Dark?

    Ever wonder how vaccines go from a lab experiment to a jab in your arm? In this episode of The Bare Facts, we dive into the rigorous (and surprisingly slow) process vaccines undergo before they’re approved for use. We’ll break down all the science-y stuff into bite-sized, brain-friendly pieces—because who really knows what “clinical trials” even mean? But wait, there’s more! We’ll also tackle the hot topic of the Covid vaccine. How did they manage to roll it out so fast? Is it really different from all the others? And, of course, we’ll address the elephant in the room: the conspiracy theories swirling around. Spoiler alert: the truth might not be as wild as you think, but we promise, it’s way more fascinating.
