We start with some listener feedback and corrections regarding Tridentinosaurus Antiquus – the origin of its name was wrong and despite what we said, it wasn’t a a dinosaur. In TWISH we hear about Gerardus Mercator, the man behind most world maps. Then we get to the news:

• SWEDEN: Companies exploit fear of war to sell pretty useless and expensive “emergency equipment”
• RUSSIA: Rumors surrounding the death of Alexei Navalny
• INTERNATIONAL: How harmful are ultra-processed foods?
• UK: Cochrane UK closing shop

The UK government gets this week’s Really Wrong Award for covering up the statistics about the deaths of homeless people.

Enjoy!
