Meet Science Vs

Science Vs is a podcast where we pit facts against fads — from the so-called benefits of organic foods, to the science of parenting, to concerns about fracking. On this podcast we pore over the scientific papers, talk to the experts and dive deep into those fads and fears that get stuck in our heads until we’re not sure what’s fact, what’s opinion, and what’s somewhere in between. The show is hosted by Wendy Zukerman. Its first season was produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
