Science Gone Wild with William M Briggs: Recent Episodes
William M. Briggs
Welcome to the podcast that proves everything you believe is wrong. Well, not EVERY thing. Only the most important things. If you are in the majority, then a great deal of what you hold true about the world and of science is false.
