Welcome to Skeptical Sunday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. Today I'm here with Skeptical Sunday co-host, writer and researcher 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, and during the week, we have long-formed conversations with a variety of amazing folks, from spies to CEOs, athletes, authors, thinkers, and performers. On Sundays, though, we do Skeptical Sunday, where a rotating guest co-host and I break down a topic you may have never thought about and debunk common misconceptions about that topic, such as Reiki healing, ear candling, self-help cults, bottled water, diet pills, and energy drinks. And if you're new to the show or you want to tell your friends about the show, I suggest our episode starter packs. These are collections of our favorite episodes on persuasion and negotiation, psychology, disinformation, junk science, crime and cults and more that'll help new listeners get a taste of everything we do here on the show
Just visit JordanHarbinger.com slash start or search for us in your Spotify app to get started. It's funny, uh, Jessica, we started, I think our very first skeptical Sunday was ear candling, and I thought, oh, here's something that some people do, and it doesn't really do anything, and it's kind of a scam, but no one's gonna get super upset about it. I thought this is going to be a relatively non-controversial start to Skeptical Sunday. And what amazed me, but sh I guess shouldn't have, and is now just played out over every episode of this show, is people will die on the hill that something that they believe in is not BS. How dare you try and take away my ear candle?
