The world of science is a fascinating landscape of atomic particles, chemical elements, living, breathing organisms and everything in between. It is the smallest of quarks and the largest of galaxies. It is the whirring, buzzing laboratory of engineering, the hissing, bubbling test tube of chemistry, the molten hot, high pressure environment of geology, and the beating heart of medicine. Science has been both a tool and a measurement of progression since humanity’s conception, but in its complicated domain, sometimes a poser appears with a scientific mask on; it is pseudoscience.


Join us as we discuss a scientific concept, discovery or phenomenon, then we’ll take a dive into the complex and misleading world of pseudoscience to sort the factual from the fabricated.


Should you use essential oils to treat your medical conditions? Can you land a helicopter that’s lost engine power? What can a particle accelerator be used for? Should you visit a chiropractor next time you get back pain? Can Tarot cards reveal your future? How long can humans survive in space? Find the answers to these questions and more by tuning into IdioFacto with Matt McCabe and Levi Bateman.
