<p>Mixed messages from <strong>QED</strong> – <strong>new dates announced</strong> but we hear <strong>this is the last one(!)</strong> and we have a hard time accepting it. At least we’ll do our best to be there and meet (among others) <strong>Chris French</strong> whose audiobook is currently on sale. In <strong>TWISH</strong> we hear about <strong>Leonardo da Vinci</strong> and specifically about <strong>some of the myths</strong> surrounding him. Then, it’s time for the news:</p><ul><li><strong>UK</strong>: Christian missionary group YWAM accused of public shaming and rituals to ‘cure’ sexual sin</li><li><strong>POLAND</strong>: Sanal Edamaruku’s case: what do we know?</li><li><strong>INTERNATIONAL</strong>: Shadowy market for weight-loss drugs has emerged online</li><li><strong>SERBIA</strong>: A wave of disinformation surrounding the demonstrations</li><li><strong>SWEDEN</strong>: Debunked personality test (DISC) refuses to die</li><li><strong>INTERNATIONAL</strong>: The Global Listening Project on how attitudes towards vaccines have changed since Covid</li></ul><p>Norwegian-Swedish fundamental Christian zealot <strong>Runar Søgaard</strong> announces Trump to be God’s gift to the US and himself as God’s gift to Sweden, and for that receives this week’s <strong>Really Wrong Award</strong>.</p><p><strong>Enjoy!</strong></p><p><a href="https://theesp.eu/podcast_archive/theesp-ep-475.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://theesp.eu/podcast_archive/theesp-ep-475.html</a></p><p><strong>Segments</strong>:</p><p>0:00:27 Intro</p><p>0:00:50 Greetings</p><p>0:05:32 TWISH</p><p>0:17:43 News</p><p>0:54:22 Really Wrong</p><p>0:58:55 Quote</p><p>1:00:09 Outro</p><p>1:01:32 Outtakes</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

<p>We first rant a bit about <strong>Viktor Orbán</strong> and examine some <strong>psychic horsing around</strong> at <strong>the Grand National</strong>. In <strong>TWISH</strong> we hear about the <strong>Dead Sea Scrolls</strong> and then we dive into the news:</p><ul><li><strong>UKRAINE / USA</strong>: Zelenskyy and Trump look for leaks using lie detectors</li><li><strong>INTERNATIONAL</strong>: Snopes’ toolkit to guard against online misinformation</li><li><strong>ITALY</strong>: AI beats lottery?</li><li><strong>SWEDEN</strong>: Test of phishing attack goes awfully wrong</li></ul><p><strong>Endometriosis</strong> is a serious condition and the topic deserves so much better than this recently published so-called study. Therefore <strong>Edinburgh University</strong> receives this week’s award for being <strong>Really Wrong</strong> as they are only raising false hope while wasting valuable time and resources.</p><p><strong>Enjoy!</strong></p><p><a href="https://theesp.eu/podcast_archive/theesp-ep-474.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://theesp.eu/podcast_archive/theesp-ep-474.html</a></p><p><strong>Segments</strong>:</p><p>0:00:27 Intro</p><p>0:00:51 Greetings</p><p>0:11:08 TWISH</p><p>0:19:04 News</p><p>0:38:35 Really Wrong</p><p>0:46:58 Quote</p><p>0:48:33 Outro</p><p>0:49:55 Outtakes</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
