Why You're Wrong

As it turns out, we've made a few mistakes since (and during) the last Why We're Wrong episode, and we atone for them. Also featuring listener questions on herd immunity, the reliability of old things, and why you buy a pair of pants and only get one.

It's hard to fit a cogent argument on a small bumper sticker, so some people don't bother making it cogent. Exploring the bizarre correlation between bumper stickers and crazy ideas.

'Tis the season for avoiding tax obligations and helping the less fortunate with the liberal application of money. Not necessarily why you're wrong about donating to charity, but looking at how and why to avoid wasting your cash.

Back with more reasons why things now are worse than they used to be, what with the kids and being on the lawn. Why big government shouldn't be meddlin' in my affairs, how the kids are dumber nowadays, and why everything they do is terrifying and will send us into immorality and chaos, consarnit.

What's in common with foreign films and organic food? Probably a few things, but we're talking about one of them today, and why you're wrong about it.

More dubious numbers and what they really mean (or don't.) Why you're wrong about the 1%, how many miles you get to a tank of gas, what's in 100% oatmeal, and the freshmen 15.

Back again with more subjects that might be true, but not the way you think they are. Why you're right but wrong about cellphones microwaving your head, correlation implying causation, and antibacterial substances causing superbugs.

Instead of talking about actual controversies, this week is being spent talking about totally manufactured ones (aka nontroversies.) The dialogue is as artificial as the subjects are! Looking at faster than light neutrinos, vaccines and autism, satanism, and harmful Halloween candy.

In honour of Halloween, this week's episode is all about misconceptions people have about NASA and the space program. With selective reverb to make things more space-y. Blasting off on space pens, NASA's budget, and why we didn't not land on the moon.

Like our Right But Wrong episode, but the opposite. Although I'm sure you figured that out. Information guaranteed to not really affect your daily life!
