Another week, another instalment of the Yeah…Nah podcast. We have some listener feedback from our previous episode, and Mark talks about the scam that is Moon Crystal Healing Bracelets. The group then laments the destruction of the Georgia Guidestones, and with it the conspiracies it inspired. Bronwyn closes out the show with some literal ancient history and the importance of reading your primary sources.

Yeah…Nah returns, and you might get whiplash from this week’s topics. It’s Craig’s turn to be on the receiving end of critical feedback, for his use of inclusive language in his Roe vs Wade article. Bronwyn and Mark discuss their recent foray into kiwi Christian culture, with their field trip to Prayer@Parliament. Mark also examines the recent decision to remove Family First’s charity status. Finally, Mark makes Bronwyn regret her choice of topic.

Yeah…Nah is back as promised. We have shifted our fortnightly recordings by a week for the foreseeable future, but you, dear listeners, won’t miss out. In this installment, the team try to stay on topic as Mark debates whether the Google AI is actually sentient or was asked leading questions, Craig discusses the newest pivot from Voices For Freedom, and Bronwyn gets into the weeds of the Accelerated Christian Education homeschool curriculum.

Two weeks of Yeah…Nah in a row? It's the gift you never knew you wanted, but it’s exactly what you need. And it’s a bumper of an episode too, with Deanne the barrister answering all of our questions about defamation and shady practitioners. We also talk about the unexpected delay in this week’s newsletter release, and consider whether deplatforming is a valid tool for skeptical activism.

There will be no episode of Yeah…Nah next week, but we will be back in a fortnight!

May has come to a close, and the Yeah…Nah! Podcast brings you the first podcast for June. SPECIAL GUEST STAR Alexander Maxwell returns to discuss how “white dielectric material” humanises the Cosmic Microwave Background. Mark attended the Counterspin Roadshow during its stop in Wellington, and shares his insights on the post-protest movement (and also confirms that the dark side does have cookies). Feedback Bronwyn received on the Femtech article leads to contemplation on whether political correctness is unskeptical, and Craig closes off talking about an online conversation on gun control that was inspired by his recent newsletter article.

Mark is out of home isolation, and the team are back in top form for another Yeah…Nah episode. Craig and Bronwyn talk about an enzyme that could predict vulnerability of Sudden Unexplained Death in Infancy, and the media misrepresentation of this study. Mark talks about the quack treatment that is RIFE therapy, and about Ken Ring’s recent and worrisome behaviour. Bronwyn shares another story from New Zealand Skeptical history.

It’s the Yeah… Nah! Podcast, COVID Edition, as Mark joins us from home lockdown. Or should we say Markdown? No? Nevermind…

The Occupation of Parliament is the gift that keeps on giving, as your dedicated podcasters take in the ongoing aftermath with updates on the sovereign citizen sheriffs at an ANZAC day ceremony, former MPs being trespassed from parliament, and Jeanette Wilson’s lack of progress with her police complaint. Mark discusses a recent Broadcasting Standards Authority decision on an NZDSOS complaint about Nikki Turner’s segment on Seven Sharp. Bronwyn gives a heads up on a conspiracy theory that attempts to link the recent outbreak of acute paediatric hepatitis with the COVID-19 vaccine, and shares a true crime tidbit with an NZ connection that she came across while working on the 365 Days of Skepticism calendar. The show finishes with recommendations of two docuseries that will pique the interest of many listeners: Hillsong: A Megachurch Exposed and new episodes available for The Way Down, about the late Gwen Shamblin, founder of cultish Christian group The Remnant Fellowship and its Weigh Down Workshop.

The Yeah… Nah! Podcast is coming in hot with another fortnightly installment of skeptical news from New Zealand and beyond. The team keeps it biblical by taking in the ongoing aftermath of David Farrier’s expose of Arise, while dissecting fears around Mātauranga Māori being a slippery slope towards the teaching of creationism in science (when our current religious instruction programme is already doing the job). We discuss some correspondence we received from fans and detractors alike, and in this, the sacred month of Autism Acceptance, the gang despair that some homeopaths in NZ still offer CEASE (Complete Elimination of Autism Spectrum Expression) therapy.

The Yeah… Nah! Podcast is giving you your regular skeptical fix. Special guest Alexander Maxwell, Associate Professor of History at Victoria University, is joining us to talk about the role of Russian propaganda in the War in the Ukraine. Craig muses on the abysmal quality of the nuremberg.nz website, Mark gets deep with David Farrier’s expose on Arise Church, and Bronwyn considers the failure of Mary Kay and Avon in the modern New Zealand market.

The team is at it again for the next instalment of the Yeah… Nah! Podcast. Craig contemplates the political implication of deepfakes, Mark is on a mission to educate Mormon missionaries, and Bronwyn considers the con that is buying souvenir plots in Scotland.
