…we also have a ‘defrogging’ for Pope Francis to look into
We have Claire Klingenberg onboard this week and it means a packed show! We talk about the new interview with Claudia Preis, European immunization week and the Hungarian Flat Earth Award. Claire gives us a report from the growing anti-abortions movement in Czechia and we hear about several upcoming skeptical events, among them that Pontus is going to give a talk in Prague next month. In TWISH we celebrate the birthday of Carl Friedrich Gauss and then we hear how pope John Paul II posthumously is in the news for possible misdeeds in the night. Then it’s time for the news:

  • GERMANY: So-called alternative medicine in Bavarian hospitals
  • INTERNATIONAL: Cranky Uncle wins award
  • UKRAINE: Blinding flash over Kyiv was probably meteor, says Ukraine space agency
  • HUNGARY: More than 1 on 4 Hungarians have seen a UFO at least once
  • HUNGARY: UFOs – Investigating the Unknown to be released April 28
  • POLAND: Special hospice for pregnancies with nonviable fetuses
  • AUSTRIA / GERMANY: New book out by Florian Aigner
  • AUSTRIA / GERMANY: What the Fact by ZDF

Enjoy!
