On this episode, we examine what a real government conspiracy looks like. My friend, Chris Sandusky, joins me to discuss a quite diabolical scheme that resulted in the deaths of many, many people during Prohibition in 1920's America.

After a two month hiatus I return with Dave Brodbeck as cohost to discuss comments regarding the shape of the earth. SPOILER ALERT: IT'S NOT FLAT. We discuss two comments on the episode that are long and rambling and dissect them line by line. We also ask the obvious question...To what end? Note: There are a couple cuss words thrown about.

In this episode, I am joined by Anthony Marco and Adam Gratrix of The Great White Fnord on the Talking is Dead Network as we discuss the Kennedy Assassination and then go off on several tangents from there. Also, I am anointed a Discordian Pope. Anthony Marco Adam Gratrix The Talking is Dead Network

Does meat cause cancer? Is aluminum foil in the microwave a recipe for disaster? Plenty of discussion about cooking turkeys for your holiday plans. We also tease a future episode regarding food regulations and the Trans Pacific Partnership. Candice Lepage: @cinn48

Generally, people are bad at determining what's a safe bet and what's a risky bet. In other words, people suck at numbers. Dave Brodbeck returns once again to demystify statistics and probability. We go into several popular areas where people tend to lack understanding including political polls, the lottery, and everyday risks that we all take.

Marc Pelletier joins me on the show to discuss the theory of evolution and the belief in creationism in a calm and rational manner. While there are "old earth" creationists, the young earth creationists are the more vocal in American society and are also the ones trying to have their beliefs taught in our schools. There is quite a bit of science packed in here, but it's all accessible. Futures in Biotech on TWiT.tv All of his episodes can be found on iTunes and all other podcasting apps.

Dave Brodbeck returns to discuss chemtrails and the conspiracy theories around them. We spend some time getting sidetracked and attempt to discuss some of the reasons why people believe such odd things. There are a few uses of the F-word and we say bullshit, in a couple different contexts. I am labeling it "explicit" just to be cautious. Dave Brodbeck can be found on Twitter @dbrobeck

Kate joins me on this episode to discuss the pseudoscience of dream interpretation and analysis. What are dreams and why do we have them? Honestly, there is no scientific consensus, but it probably isn't to predict the future. We do go off on a tangent and discuss tarot cards and horoscopes, but really, aren't they all the same?

Geocentrism and the flat earth are on the agenda for this week's episode as I fly solo once again. Why do some people believe that the earth is the center of the universe and why do they think it's flat? The evidence says otherwise, many conspiracy believers think that the evidence has been manipulated. I will definitely be revisiting this topic in the future with a guest if I can find one (if somebody would be willing to talk). International Flat Earth Research Society
