March Bonus: Plandemic!
Despite being almost 90 minutes long, our COVID Conspiracies episode covered just a fraction of the misinformation bouncing around the country in 2020. So to cover some of the viral myths and zombie statistics we didn't get to, we decided to have a little watch party for a coronavirus conspiracy classic: "Plandemic."

February Bonus: Diets for your Brain!
Can someone's diet cure their schizophrenia? Of course not! But some real jerky psychologists & MDs in the '70s decided to tell people it could. This month, we're diving back into Aubrey's diet book collection—and this time, we're focusing on diets that claim to have psychological and behavioral effects. Buckle up, it's even more unhinged than you think!

“Rapid Onset GD” Episode!
I just finished this episode and I had to say THANK YOU for your work thank you for your voice EVERYONE should listen to this episode. Podcasts like MP, YWA, IBCK have truly given me an education in media literacy that is invaluable as a human moving through this world.
pro-obesity nonsense. Arrogant hosts
Both hosts speak with a laughable self assurance. They are very authoritative without being actual authorities. Wrong on the facts many times. They are insufferable in their certitude which is ideological rather than scientific. They also have sneers in their voices. They know. They’re smart. And everyone else is benighted. They are exemplars of stupidity being made more stupid through arrogance. They come across as deeply icky people. Smug dumb and intolerant. There is hate-watching TV shows. This is a hate-listen. A sort of schadenfreude of listening to a couple of dopes who think they are smarter than everyone
Love it all!
Maintenance Phase is a gift to humanity as far as I’m concerned.
