Listen Later

Episode 5 description:

This is the next installment in our war on science series and we're looking at the first episode of the Netflix documentary (un)Well "Essential Oils".  This trend is a little too soothing for us to go too hard at the concept, but never fear!  Marc and I have plenty to say about a couple of the key figures featured in this episode.  Dr. Z, my dude, we are coming to drag you!  Listen for digressions into gangster rap, a little bit of our personal experience with western medicine and as always, Marc tells jokes.  

Thank you for listening to us each week.
