Now we know that this week's podcast was due to be part 5 in our "How to step up your game series, but unfortunately due to our situations at present, myself and Eoin are obeying the social distancing recommendation and doing the podcast via zoom. Because of this, we felt it was best to do a test episode on our new Online interface before recording the final episode in the series.
But anyway, here's the start of a new mini-series, Fad Diet Fallacies. This is in no way educational content, in no way informative beyond mere entertainment and should be taken more in the spirit of the TV Show QI than the TV show MasterMind. Today we chat about Carnivore, Keto and a bunch more.
