About Tom Chivers
The Studies Show is a podcast where two science writers (Tom Chivers and Stuart Ritchie) talk about a controversial scientific issue every week.
We’ll cover science stories that are in the news, digging into the details of the studies, finding the most reliable research, and criticising the bad science. We’ll cut through the spin of overblown scientific press releases and hyped media stories to get to the truth. And we’ll cover the most polarising, confusing debates where scientists disagree — and try to work out who’s right.
If you’d like to have a well-informed opinion on all the latest contentious scientific issues, then The Studies Show is for you.
