TheESP – Ep. #552 – Haunted by the Number Curse

The number curse is getting worse! The Dutch Meester Kakadoris Award has been awarded, Patreon is changing its rules (but please still subscribe!) and next week sees two big Skeptical events: Global Skeptics in the Pub and ESC Liverpool. Join one of them or both! In TWISH we hear about Henry Cavendish (no relation to bananas) and then we get to the news:

• ISRAEL / INTERNATIONAL: Conspiracy theories about Flydubai attack spread across social media
• RUSSIA / UKRAINE / GERMANY: Russian disinformation campaigns are getting more sophisticated
• SWEDEN: Reports of election fraud – are they real?

The Really Wrong Award goes to Barbara O’Neill, the Australian quack who is currently touring Europe (and the world).

Enjoy!
