0:00.0 | It's Friday, May 29th, 2015, and you're listening to Inquiring Minds. I'm Injavis Gontas. |
0:07.2 | And I'm Kishore Hari. Each week, we bring you a new, in-depth exploration of the space where science, politics, and society collide. |
0:14.1 | We endeavor, we endeavor, what's true, what's left to discover, and why it all matters. |
0:18.1 | You can find us online at motherjones.com slash inquiringminds. Inquiringshow.tumbler.com on Twitter at Inquiring |
0:24.5 | show and on Facebook at slash Inquiring Minds podcast. And you can subscribe to the show on |
0:29.6 | iTunes or any other podcasting app. |
0:43.4 | This episode is sponsored by Privlo. Can't get a mortgage because you're self-employed, make an uneven income or have an old credit blemish. Well, there's a new lender in town and they built a business |

1:33.5 | modern. And that's because the last third of the book is actually a fad diet itself, totally |
1:39.8 | deconstructed. It's kind of awesome. So if you've ever rolled your eyes at a dinner party, |
