#243: Truth Decay in Our Democracy / WNBA Should Get Fair Pay

Cellar Door Skeptics Podcast

This episode is going to be laced with more science segments than they normally have but will be well worth the time investment in this episode. The team tackles the diversity amongst marijuana strains and if the medical marjuana market is using the lack of regulation to their advantage. They also review a study from the RAND organization and how they are doing research on how the Truth people speak is decaying and eroding till we do not know what is truth versus a lie. They also look at what WNBA players make and why society has not decided to help sports teams level out the playing field.
