#135 - Experts strike back

🎧 NEW PODCAST EPISODE Episode 135 – Experts strike back In this episode, Andy and Roger dive into a thorny question that’s split friendships, inflamed group chats, and possibly lost them a few listeners: can you actually trust experts? Picking up where a previous debate left off, the pair discuss whether expertise is real, relevant, or just overrated. Andy poses six pointed questions to Roger, teasing out his views on medical authorities, local versus institutional knowledge, and the thorny balance between statistical outcomes and personal risk. Along the way, Roger skewers nutritionists and chiropractors, and revisits his pandemic-era frustrations with vaccine advice—particularly when it came to kids. The conversation spans personal anecdotes, thought experiments involving government trade-offs, and the limits of academic detachment. No experts were harmed in the making of this episode. Probably.
