Description

The worst offenders might be shampoo adverts, but egregious pseudo-science is not exactly rare in fiction. Joined by The Science Of Fiction regular Djuke Veldhuis, we take a look at what gets scribbled in beside the bits in the script marked “technobabble”.

• BBC News: Tackling the trade in human flesh pills
• io9: Remember when we thought we’d get all our nutrition from pills and bars?
• Wired: Physicist uses maths to avoid traffic penalty
• That Mitchell and Webb Look on brushing tongues

Tracklist
