https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/no-one-can-explain-why-planes-stay-in-the-air/
Ep 245Your campaign has the momentum of a runaway freight train
Bohemia glassworkers in the time of the Third Reich; the media has picked their candidate to win the DBS byelection; and a kind word for Malcolm Byrne as he calls China out.
Ep 244I've been a bad, bad newspaper
The mad kings of NPHET declare lockdown shall continue until they are satisfied with our tribute; and the Irish Times decides Viktor Orban is too extreme to let him talk to their readers, but the genocidal CCP are just right.

Ep 240Vote for our bastards, not theirs
In a year heavy with silly ideas an Irish NGO has gone for gold by saying it wants to give the government the power to remove candidates from elections if they say the wrong things; Ze Germans say they're coming for our EU Veto; and the lab leak theory makes a glorious return to respectable discourse.
Ep 239Professor Theo Boer

Ep 238Consensus - real or imagined
The Citizens' Assembly goes off the rails; a Scottish feminist up in court for transphobic tweets shows Ireland how FG's hate speech bill will be used here; FF remain unable to do basic due diligence on their election candidates; and the Belarus situation has been resolved to everyone's satisfaction.

Ep 234Interview with Christopher Snowdon of the IEA
http://nannystateindex.org/
Ep 233At the heart of Irish government lies a vacuum
The High Court has refused to hear a case on religious COVID-19 restrictions, arguing it is moot - we argue the judgement is nonsense; the HSE hack, which no one will be blamed for; and what achievements have Irish politicians actually had over the last decade?

https://www.cochrane.org/CD013705/INFECTN_how-accurate-are-rapid-tests-diagnosing-covid-19
Ep 227And then the locusts came
