– Frankie has found his own 007!

This week we reveal further plans about our travels and about Skepticamp at QED. We also have listener feedback about air quality in planes regarding last week’s Really Wrong. No TWISH this week, but Pope Frankie has found a super Cardinal to drop behind enemy lines for covert operations. And then we look into this week’s news:

• GERMANY: Honorable mention of HomöopaTea
• UK: Charles feels vindicated for going organic. He is wrong.
• UKRAINE: UFOs above Kiev
• SWEDEN: Pontus Pokes the Politicians: Winning parties of the election advocate irrational actions in fighting criminality

The WHO gets another Really Wrong Award for their failed logic around NSS (non-sugar sweeteners)

Enjoy!
