Description

In a very special skeptical Canadian extravaganza, we are joined by the fabulous Adrienne Hill as guest host for the show. A very special treat! In TWISH we look into the fourth anniversary of Putins’ invasion of Ukraine, and how disinformation has been used as weapon in the war. Then, we dig into the news:

• UK: Racial Slurs shouted at the Bafta Awards by a guest who has Tourette Syndrome
• NORTHERN IRELEND: Getting closer to repeal blasphemy law
• HUNGARY: Pediatrician in custody after faking vaccination certificates
• ITALY: Crotchgate at the Olympics. Can injecting Hyaluronic Acid into genitals help ski jumpers’ distance?
• NETHERLANDS / SWEDEN: Dutch seller of bogus medicine uses AI deep fakes and Swedish bank for legitimacy
• INTERNATIONAL: Safe spaces or innovation killers? Macron’s AI showdown in Delhi

The Really Wrong Award goes to circumcision for non-medical reasons on children who cannot consent, after a baby dies of sepsis for no good reason.

Enjoy!
