Episode Description

Just like his uncle, even the Prince of Wales (William, that is!) cannot entirely stay out of the Epstein-files, as his charity gets tangled up in it. In TWISH we take a look at famed Giordano Bruno to see if he was truly a skeptic or more of a trouble make (admittedly, you can be both). Then we have the news:

UK: More than 60 children infected in north London measles outbreak
AUSTRIA: Group of scientists on how difficult it is to try to uphold scientific standards
INTERNATIONAL: Climate change confusion?
INTERNATIONAL: Study finds deepfake to be alarmingly prevalent

On the same topic as two weeks ago, the Really Wrong Award goes to the UK education system for their very questionable religious education syllabus, while the Humanists UK get the Really Right Award for fighting back.

Enjoy!
