Welcome to Skeptical Sunday. I'm your host Jordan Harbinger.

Today I'm here with Skeptical Sunday co-host writer Jessica Wynne.

On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories, secrets, and skills of the world's most

fascinating people and turn their wisdom into practical advice that you can use to impact your own life

and those around you. Our mission is to help you become a better informed, more critical

thinker. During the week we have long-form conversations with a variety of

amazing folks from spies to CEOs, athletes, authors, thinkers, performers.

We're a rotating guest co-host and I break down a topic you may have never thought about

and debunk common misconceptions about that topic.

Topics like, why tipping makes no sense, e-commerce scams, diet

supplements, the lottery, toothpaste, crystal healing, internet porn and more.
