SPECULATIONS: Guess to Impress

Me and a guest are given a prompt, challenged to explain a thing we don’t know much about. We have 5 minutes to prepare sensible and correct statements—what we think is true about the prompt. No research, only hand-written notes. 5 minutes is up.

We hit record and educatedly guess for ~10 min. Then we fly in an expert to critique our speculations and set the record straight, while curating learning links so you can jump off and dig into our topic.

Topic ideas? Shoot me an email or drop a comment and I’ll tag you if your suggestion becomes a prompt on a future episode. Just one or two words. Ex. wicca, rainbows, anarchism, offshore oil

EPISODE 1

New York State County Judge Joe Cassidy and I speculate on pheromones. Gauntlet thrown. Give us 10 minutes and we’ll try to explain.

After we’ve speculated to our limit, Dr. Reilly Coch from Ithaca’s Cayuga Medical Center reviews, critiques, and sets the record straight on pheromones. 

Check out the show notes for Dr. Coch’s pheromone links. Essential reading if you want to know about this stuff.
