Welcome to Skeptical Sunday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. Today I'm here with Skeptical

Sunday co-host writer Jessica Wynn. 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.

During the week, we have long-form conversations with a variety of amazing folks,

from spies to CEOs, athletes, authors, thinkers, 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.

Topics like circumcision, sovereign citizens, dietary supplements, banned foods, GMOs,

toothpaste, crystal healing, targeted advertising, internet porn, and more.

And if you're new to the show or you're looking for a handy way to tell your friends about

the show, I suggest our episode starter packs.

These are collections

of our favorite episodes on persuasion, negotiation, psychology, disinformation, cyber warfare, crime

and cults, and more. And it'll help new listeners get a taste of everything we do here on the show.

meats, while the rest of the market aisles contain shelves of foods that are separated from us

by thin layer of packaging.
