The Internet Is Full of Deepfakes, and the Sky Is Full of Trash

Customer Reviews
I really like this show, but…
Can you guys sound less like you’re reading a script and more like natural talking? It’s off putting, honestly.
Disappointed
I have been listening to this podcast for the last few years and truly enjoyed the little snippets of information they pack into each episode. In today’s “Your Health Quickly” Episode, I was disappointed to hear the name calling targeting two people as “anti-vaxxers”. Without actually researching the folks they “called out” (to see if it is indeed accurate), to understand their views, and perhaps even learn that at least one of them is NOT actually an “anti-vaxxer”, they followed the “mainstream narrative” and labeled them.
The Episode still would have been just as informative if they left their names out. The information in the episode was timely and accurate about everything else. I would have thought name calling was beneath this good Podcast. You can do better.
Measles is scary 😂
What a ridiculous episode. The fact that this is named “Scientific” anything belongs on South Park.
