Description

…and the deep fakes grows deeper

We start with listener feedback regarding burning the Quran and the best ways to boil a frog… We also announce our newly created merch store and there is still time to get your ESP t-shirt before QED. 15% off if you hurry!. In TWISH we hear about Sea Org day celebrated by scientologists and the pope gets poked for his “excluded but-not-excluded policy” towards women and the LGBTQ+ community.
Then, it’s time for the news:

INTERNATIONAL: Happy birthday, Retraction Watch
UK: Humans unable to detect over a quarter of deepfake speech samples
INTERNATIONAL: How the World Federation of Chiropractic introduces new guidelines, but fails to make sense of it
FRANCE: Link between belief in alternative medicine and vaccine hesitancy
SCOTLAND: Plan to find Nessie using drones
UK: Government shits on their own climate goals
The Really Wrong Award goes to Irish conspiracy nut Gemma O’Doherty.

Enjoy!
