In the sixty-eighth episode we explore Failing Occam's Razor, starting out with Trump not understanding why he didn't get more mail in ballots and Lou Dobbs wondering why there's no proof of election fraud. In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Therese Coffey and Baron McColl claiming obesity, age and population density are the reasons for the UK's atrocious COVID response. In the Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from The Simpsons and Brothers & Sisters. Jim and Marsh go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Marsh has to guess which of three Trump quotes Jim made up. Then Jim talks to Marsh from the Merseyside Skeptics ( http://www.merseysideskeptics.org.uk/ ) about how he got started in skepticism, how to help friends and family in danger of believing things like Q, and the plans for the next QED conference, among other things. And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.

Get your tickets for MSSX while you still can! Just £29 for a full day of science, reason and critical thinking, celebrating 10 years of the Merseyside Skeptics […]

In this week's episode we announce the winner of our SkepKon raffle! We also invite you to take GapMinder's test to see how well you know the state of the world before we catch up with Alice and Laurie from the Merseyside Skeptics who tell us all about their upcoming 10 year celebration: MSSX on 6 July. You should go! This week 36 years ago, Stern Magazine had to admit that the Hitler diaries they had spent 19 million marks on were fake. Pope Francis is being accused of heresy by Catholic priests and Pontus is trying to see the papal future. In the news we report that GWUP's skeptical Heinz Oberhummer award goes to "No Such Thing as a Fish", that Sweden has NOT banned mandatory vaccinations and that you can already now start nominating candidates for the Flying Unicorn Awards in Portugal. We also learn from a study by Glasgow University just how bad it is to take diet and health advice for Twitter (just don't!). Segments: Intro; Greetings; Interview; This Week in Skepticism; Pontus Pokes the Pope; News; Really Wrong; Quote; Outro; Out-takes

The band is back together for a new week of skeptical reports. On this week: Oliver Lodge did not manage to prove psychics right, Pope Francis still believes in celibacy (although his priests do not seem to), Natalie Grams is awarded Die Goldenen Blogger Prize, PSIRAM starts a skeptical blog series, Merseyside Skeptics celebrates 10 years in July and Spanish researchers (nobody expects the Spanish researchers!) tries to convince us about homeopathy. Meanwhile, nobody has noticed(!) that the Macchiarini investigation has gone missing. Enjoy!
