TheESP – Ep. #402 – Crime and Punishment

The European Skeptics Podcast - The ESP

– with Paula Dahlberg Full length episode, plus an interesting interview this week. We first note that science has discovered the “Pontus plate” (much to our liking) and also that if you are quick you can still apply to give a talk at SkepKon in Augsburg in May. Then we hear about the sad passing of Peter Olausson, prominent skeptic and former president of VoF.

After that we have our interview with Paula Dahlberg who takes us through the most common myths about the legal system. Then, we take a look at the news:

SWITZERLAND: SCAM doesn’t work against diabetes

WALES: Cancer patient dead after taking herbal mixture containing mistletoe

FRANCE: Negative correlations between conspiracy beliefs and the use of conventional medicine

To round off we present Apple TV (of all services) with this week’s Really Right Award for putting out a factual documentary about the Enfield Poltergeist. We also have a tongue twisting Word of the week from the Netherlands.

Enjoy!
