Delegate Charity Taping

The feedback continues in this episode of the Yeah… Nah! podcast, with more emails from newsletter readers about how we should handle reporting of unsettled science. Bronwyn also lets us all know about a supposedly haunted Cat in the Hat costume. The team talks about Do Less, a book that promised to help Katrina organise her life but instead delivered a lot of pseudoscientific mumbo-jumbo. Bronwyn dives into the numbers for how charities spend their money, seeing where the sweet spot is for spending on administration costs vs doing good works. And Mark wonders whether he’ll get a better night’s sleep if he tapes his mouth shut, and what the science says about this Tik Tok trend.
