TheESP – Ep. #452 – Royal Woo
Episode description
This is the first “regular episode” for a while and of course we cannot help to mourn the stupid results of the US elections. But since this is a European show we cannot let that stop us, so after a TWISH story of how Charles Darwin, 130 years after his death, gained over 4000 votes in the elections in the US state of Georgia, it’s time for the news:
- BULGARIA / NORTH MACEDONIA: Baba Vanga (баба Ванга), the Bulgarian psychic
- INTERNATIONAL: Wanna help out the Skeptical Science team?
- UK: King Charles and Queen Camilla on secret Bengaluru trip for woo treatment
- INTERNATIONAL: A little help to nurses in combatting vaccine misinformation
- NORWAY: Spouse of Norwegian princess, ‘shaman’ Durek Verrett, accused of sexual assault
- UK: Religious hate crimes at record high levels
The NHS in the UK has all but done away with homeopathy, but still funds a number of unproven nonsense treatments and for that the receive this week award for being Really Wrong. And then before we sign off, we go to Turkey for a Word of the Week.
Enjoy!
