Episode Description

For the 2nd episode of The Turnout I spoke with journalist Michael Marshall of The Good Thinking Society (as well as the Be Reasonable podcast and others).

Michael was the man behind the 10:23 campaign which was a ...

mass overdose of homeopathy outside branches of Boots UK in several major cities throughout the country, to publicly demonstrate the inefficacy of homeopathic products and protest against their sale.

I asked Michael about the history of homeopathy and what it actually is, or indeed isn't. I also asked him about it's availability on the NHS in various parts of the country and what should be done about it.

We also got on to some of the wider dangers of "medicines" that are not based on any solid science.

Hope you enjoy

The Botched Podcast AfterBuzz TV The Botched After Show recaps, reviews and discusses episodes of E!'s Botched.Show Summary: When someone has cosmetic surgery, it doesn't always turn out as planned. So what happens when a procedure is botched? If they're on this reality series, they head to renowned plastic surgeons Paul Nassif and Terry Dubrow, who try to reverse damages from the original procedure. Each hourlong episode follows a patient through the process of correcting failed operations, from the complex procedures to the intensive recovery process and — ultimately — the reveal of the successful transformation. The Power Of Patience (Audio) Keith Moore James 1:2-3 “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.” Faith and patience go together, but patience is not just passive waiting. It is cheerfully enduring the passage of time and the contradictory circumstances and everything that is telling you it's not working and it's not going to happen—because you already know by faith how it’s going to turn out. You’ve heard from Him. In this series, you will learn that while other people are crying and falling apart, you can respond differently. When you count it all joy, you will glory in the tribulation, knowing that this trying of your faith and your patience is going to work out a glorious thing in the end, because you're not going to quit!
