Show Notes
Psychology professor Paul Eastwick – co-host of the Love Factually podcast – challenges the idea that dating app filters are useful, and gives us tips on how to look for a partner without apps. (Check out Paul's book Bonded by Evolution here.) David hails microbiologist and professor Brantley Hall as one of the greatest scientific minds of our time. Brantley outlines why he created smart underwear. (Spoiler: it's farts. Lots of farts. And science. Science and farts.) Senior correspondent at Business Insider Emily Stewart describes how her RFK diet experiment went viral, and the backlash that turned it into a political food fight. Tech analyst Carmi Levy joins David for It's Time For Technology Time covering stories: United Airlines can permanently ban passengers who don't wear headphones; Nintendo is suing the US government over tariffs; Apple launches the MacBook Neo – or is it the MacBook keyboard edition?; and Meta just bought the social network for AI bots everyone’s been talking about. Psychology and brain science researcher Diana Peragine shares details of her study challenging beliefs on the 'libido gap' between men and women. Urban researcher Wes Regan reveals why misinformation feels so good to share, and what to do about it.
