There are many podcasts that unpack the latest in scientific developments and discoveries, but not so many that unpack the latest controversies. 

So, thankfully, there is this podcast that does just this from Tom Chivers and Stuart Ritchie. Their show has managed to build a dedicated audience for their analysis on the latest scientific debates and how the news can often oversimplify or mislead the public on complex scientific issues, from air pollution to supplements. There’s debunks, but also a lot of discussion about what constitutes good and informative research.
