  • Episode 113 - Breathing Dark Oxygen And Eating Uranium While Discussing Conspiracy Theories
    Jul 27 2024

    WOW - this is a fun one.

    First Sara tells us about a fascinating new discovery from the bottom of the ocean, and then JJ fills us in about an old 1986 video of a Nuclear Physicist EATING uranium. Crazy stuff.

    Then after some lovely sponsors we jump into an article about CONSPIRACY THEORIES. This is a really fun topic and we take some time to walk through some of the big ones, while discussing practices and common tropes for avoiding falling prey to the crazy world of fact-less news.

    All that, plus the mom joke of the week, in this episode!

    Here's the link to the conspiracy theory article: https://www.livescience.com/11375-top-ten-conspiracy-theories.html
