The Not So Scientific Method
Remember the scientific method? The one they taught you in school with the hypothesis (or whatever) to get to the facts and therefore the truth? In dealing with a world full of opinions and questionable data, best friends Jamie and Noreen delve into the facts. We’ll spend one week breaking down all the data on a certain topic and then spend the next week chatting with an expert on that subject. No topics are off the table, so get ready to learn about everything from reality TV (maybe the Kardashian’s are actually geniuses?) to decriminalizing drugs.
