Description

This week, as we are finally all back together to record, we start by lamenting on the latest heatwaves and why we might be doomed, especially when we consider the current political stage in countries like Germany.
We then interview Stefan Uttenthaler about the yearly 'Das Goldenes Brett' satirical award, before moving on to TWISH, in which we commemorate the birthday of Hungarian engineer and promoter of all things UFO and weird energies...
After Pontus Poking the Pope for trusting the inquisition with a perv, we move on to the news, where:
In ITALY, the government is doing close to nothing to tackle climate change, while downplaying its severety.
A new conspiracy on the rise claiming that sunscreens are toxic and should not be used.
In GERMANY, anesthesiologist leads the board in retractions with 184 of them to his name.
WHO puts aspartame into the possible carcinogen category after all.
German Heilpraktiker gets 4 years 3 months in prison for scamming people.
While the New York Times gets this week's Really Wrong prize for their puff piece on Uri Geller, we bring the Hungarian word 'Kamu' to the Word of the Week.

Enjoy!
