Episode 14: 2/12/14 Wait, DOES the sun go around the Earth?

from Six Degrees of Rumination · host Nina Reno and Michael

Reno and Nina see if producer Mike is smarter than 1 in 4 Americans, Reno speculates what the universe was like before the Big Bang, and Nina checks her freezer for anti-biotic-riddled chicken while Reno compares the cost of salad and fast food. Not surprisingly, pesticides are linked to neuro-developmental learning disabilities in children. A new "ultra-precise" method to filter water is discovered. Have dreams of natural disasters and saving the day? You're most likely a man....and if you'd rather give people chili than chocolate, you most likely would choose to play Voldemort in a video game. ***Reno has yet to read the Harry Potter series.
