Another great episode! I particularly enjoyed Christina’s segment on unethical medical experiments that benefited humanity. The topic of Dr Edward Jenner came up and I think his story and the early history of vaccination would make a great segment. Also I like the new rules to Name That encouraging panelists to game it.
Thanks for the kind words, Nick! I really enjoyed “Game That” too and hope Pat comes up with another round for us.

Guys!
Have to agree with Nick! And let me thank you for your kind mention of our podcast! It means a lot to us to be embraced by the team of one of the top skeptical podcasts out there. Keep up the good work!
Your link to Hep B in Wikipedia doesn’t even mention or link to the Saul Krugman work. The history section talks about Australia. This is the link you need: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saul_Krugman.
Link added to the show notes. Thanks, Bethany.
It’s funny that you flagged that, Bethany, because a few days ago I thought, “does anyone really ever check out the links in the shownotes?” lol I like to take the time to make sure I cite any source I touch upon so it’s great to hear you were looking at them.
