Episode description

Look what we have here – a brand new pod, full of puppies and placebos! Yes, we talk about being Dog Daddies™, and then move on to some interesting Science News about the placebo effect and its evil opposite, the nocebo. Do you worry that doesn't sound like your thing? That's probably just the nocebo effect in action, so you should listen anyway. This episode's mistakes include:

  • Petty competitiveness about dog superiority.
  • Too many hand gestures for an audio podcast.
  • Excessive sound effects.
  • Egregious factual inaccuracies.
