Hey everyone,
The new episode is out today with Matt Johnson with new intro/outro segments. We have also recorded the full Hitchens decoding episode but that will take a little bit of time to edit.
In the meantime, here is an interview...

Sorry for the recent radio silence.
We had a bit of a confluence of events that have delayed our normal fortnightly schedule. Matt and his family got properly sick after a trip and remember just how old he is. There's als...

This is a severely waffley episode. Matt and I talk about the paper but we end up getting into the weeds in some fairly obscure and likely rather idiosyncratic debates.
This might sound like what we normally do but I am provi...

That's right! The next decoding episode will be on Oprah Winfrey.
She's been long requested and we agree it is overdue even if she is something a bit closer to the traditional alternative health guru archetype.
In any case, she was a g...

Well, we promised you Rubin and Maher and delivered 50% of that. Rubin will be following shortly (probably next week) as we are prepped to go but felt we had too many clips for a single episode and that they each deserved some time on their own. 2023-02-25 08:34:58 +0000 UTC View Post
Much like the video but without visuals. This is the raw audio for the Bill Maher (& Richard Dawkins) Gurometer episode.
