Science Vs
We retired this podcast, because we couldn't parse it for 10 consecutive times.
There are a lot of fads, blogs and strong opinions, but then there’s SCIENCE. Science Vs is the new show from Gimlet Media that finds out what’s fact, what’s not, and what’s somewhere in between. We do the hard work of sifting through all the science so you don't have to. This season we tackle organic food, fracking, gun control, the G spot, and more.
