In this episode, host Nathan Whitlock is joined by author and journalist Bob McDonald, host of CBC Radio’s Quirks and Quarks. He is a regular science commentator on the CBC News Network, a science correspondent for The National, and the author of multiple books, including his recent memoir Just Say Yes. Bob and Nathan talk about the importance of promoting real science amid the proliferation of misinformation and conspiracy theories, about his initial reluctance to include the story of his childhood sexual abuse in his memoir (but why he is proud that he did), and about his work‐in‐progress, a book for kids that focuses on—surprise!—science.
