Show Notes
The War on so-called “superbugs” is beginning. The World Health Organization and England’s Chief Medical Officer are on the record, saying that we may be facing the end of health care as we know it, with antibiotics losing their effectiveness. But some are fighting back against this “post-antibiotic apocalypse” with, of all things, dirt. Sean Brady, a chemist, is one such person, and he is being backed by Bill and Melinda Gates.
Guest: Peter Andrey Smith, who wrote the cover story for WIRED magazine this month, ‘How Dirt could save Humanity from an Infectious Apocalypse’
