Take Stock... with Shelley Stocken
Pete Evans, celebrity chef, Paleo diet promoter, and 2015 winner of the Australian Skeptics\\u2019 Bent Spoon award, can\\u2019t understand why the Australian Medical Association thinks he\\u2019s irresponsible and putting people\\u2019s health at risk by exercising his \\u201cwilful arrogance\\u201d in \\u201cmischievously questioning medical advice\\u201d.
\\u201cWell well well,\\u201d he said, following a barrage of criticism from the AMA and others. \\u201cThe AMA has once again tweeted that I am putting people\\u2019s lives at risk\\u2026.WHY?\\u201d

Maynard's Spooky Action....
Dr Brian Greene
Maynard and crew head into the city of Sydney to hear a talk by Dr Brian Greene. Time travel, black holes, worm holes, computer simulations and more!
Includes vox pops with Eran Segev, Lara Benham, Aletha Dean and from Think Inc., Desh Amila.
Think Inc. gleefully welcomes the return of Dr Brian Greene in 2017 for another round of mind-bending (and mending) explanations for reality-altering discoveries.

Update on the Geoclense Home Harmonizer
Choice has put a so-called Geoclense Home Harmonizer through a test, and found it to be a waste of money and sure to turn off your friends.
Geoclense is sold as a \\u201cGeopathic Stress and Electromagnetic Radiation Harmonizer\\u201d. The product, supplied by Victorian company Orgone Effects Australia, is a solid block of green plastic resin with a plug moulded into the back. It has no components or circuitry \\u2013 it is simply the block and a plug.
