The Summer Series 2022 continues, as does that goddam global pandemic. So inevitably we’re joined once more by science communicator and medical researcher Upulie Divisekera and infectious diseases physician Dr Trent Yarwood.

We talk about that pandemic thing, because we kind of have to. But we also discuss hydrogen peroxide therapy (which is not really a thing), salt therapy (which is kind of a thing), ointments (which are definitely a thing), MyHealthRecord, brinjal pickle, how Twitter rots your brain, fossils, fungi, leprosy aka Hansen’s Disease, and that Serbian tennis player.
