Mick and I talk about the nature of conspiracy theories, the Covid lab leak theory, the Hunter Biden laptop theory and debunking David Fravor.

Mick West is a science writer, skeptical investigator, and retired video game programmer who was largely responsible for the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series. He is the creator of the websites Contrail Science and Metabunk, for which he investigates and debunks pseudoscientific claims such as chemtrails, UFOs, and conspiracy theories, and has appeared in various media as an expert analyst and science communicator. His website is www.metabunk.org and you can follow him on Twitter @MickWest.
