Two Brad For You

We are back with the panel of regular guys and their musings on politics. We start provincial with an assessment of the Alberta government and move on up from there, touching on the Canadian response to COVID unemployment, universal basic income, the circus of American politics and how "alternative media" sources play a role in all the noise.

Thank you all for listening and for helping us get to 50!!! To mark the occasion we answered your questions both personal and scientific, which gave us a chance to look back on how and why we started the podcast and to peer into the future of both the show and the state of humans on this planet. 

Award winning Canadian documentary film maker Liz Marshall joins to discuss her new film Meat The Future. The film follows cellular based meat pioneer Uma Valeti and the creation of his company Memphis Meats.

Flash is joined by friend of the show Jared Cuthbertson to breakdown the hard science showing that SARS 2 most likely didn't come from a lab and the history and current state of injecting, not disinfectant no.... but young blood to prevent aging.

Both Brads are back for this one and we take a break from corona and get back to our usual format, random, cool science stories. Today we have wart cream that helps prevent mosquito disease, modelling traffic jams, new memory pathways in your brain, dog noses and miracle hangover drugs. 

Social distancing expert and friend of the show Coleman Wilkinson, aka. @lionelsteel, took some time to go over the basics of isolation. What it does to the human body and what we can do to overcome it. Two big takeaways if there's words, read them and steer into madness. 

Good friend of the show and self-described pessimist/worrier Josh Pollard joined for this episode and we talked corona, of course, but after some epidemiology chat at the start we delve into the economics and politics side of things. What does a post-corona world look like and what cracks in our systems are showing due to the pandemic? Enjoy! 

After a short more serious intro addressing the new developments that sees many of us facing unprecedented changes to society, we welcome back Jared and Robby on the West Coast aka. The Housecoat Boys. We talk about the wild week, how weird it is, debunk some BS cures, why the world is buying up TP and give our quarantine Netflix picks.

Recorded at the end of February, the lads discuss the latest corona news and what we might expect moving forward. Then a story about some controversy regarding a new malaria vaccine trial. They also touch on and disagree on the significance of the loss of Mad Mike Hughes and then get weird with two stories about quantum entanglement and new forms of matter.

Constance Finney is an infectious disease immunologist who studies how the body handles multiple types of infections at once. We chatted parasites, the immune system, what it is like to have a tapeworm, what it is like to be a woman in STEM and much more!
