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 chases down viral claims and trendy health advice, then pins them to the mat with primary research. Host Wendy Zukerman treats the studies themselves as the story—walking through methodology, sample sizes, and retracted papers—while keeping the tone loose and conversational. The show trades broad surveys for targeted takedowns: semen retention, chronic inflammation, hantavirus. If you want a feed that replaces internet certainty with evidence, start here.
