Episode 6 - Fake news and social media (!) alongside more fact checking

Promising to come in under the hour we cover the latest trials and tribulations of our experiences with lockdown in under 15 minutes (where we debate whether Keith should train to be a yogi) but then our plans are slightly scuppered as we walk through a bumper fact checking list from episode 5 spilling into a chiropractor confession from Neil and questions such as why don’t humans hibernate (or fly even)…hmmm….. 

Fake news and social media is such a big, important (and sometime infuriating) topic that our ramblings lead us beyond the hour (ironically ourselves becoming a form of fake news by breaking our earlier promise) as we cover off peoples “own” truth, why do non-facts and actual facts get equal media time, we lament the absence of critical thinking classes in schools and why people would rather believe randoms rather than experts. Also Keith confesses to not being a fan of twitter and Neil talks up the good life using a canvas greenhouse  (whaaat?) - enjoy!
