809 - Anti-Vax pt. 1: Faces of a Movement

At last, after months of work we are proud to present part 1 of our “Anti-Vax” series. In this episode, we cover the history of the anti-vaccine (and similar) movement and their claim, among others, that vaccines cause autism. We read books, combed through articles, and browsed a myriad of forums and social media pages, in order to better understand the context of this deadly, growing movement. So without further ado, come join us for a very special two-part series of Rumor Flies!

Bonus Episode: Famous People, Not so Famous Inventions

Hello everyone and welcome to a special BONUS EPISODE! We wanted to take a little extra time (and our schedules, like everyone’s, are a little bit wonky these days) to really make our final two episodes the best they can be. It’s going to be a huge two-parter and they’re by far the most ambitious episodes we’ve planned to date.

For this episode, we explore the failed inventions of Thomas Edison, Nikolai Tesla, and some dude we’d never heard of before named Bradley FIske who had some pretty notable conributions! Thanks so much for your patience, and please enjoy this special bonus episode of Rumor Flies!
