Science Vs

Spotify Studios

Investigative journalist Wendy Zukerman scrutinizes health and science claims with primary sources and expert interviews.

Why we picked this

We picked Science Vs because it treats popular claims with healthy skepticism and rigorous reporting. Every week, the host takes a cultural belief or trending topic and runs it through the actual data, separating solid evidence from clever marketing and widespread myth. The show refuses to accept simple answers, preferring instead to track down the primary research and talk directly to the scientists doing the work. It is an efficient antidote to modern noise, offering listeners a masterclass in how to evaluate evidence without losing a sense of humor.
