Heaven forbid we ever engage in anything approaching continuity on this programme, but looking at this and last episode it's possible to start noticing a theme. And it's 'misinformation', which is probably bang on the mark for our brand! This time, rather than confirming conspiracy theories for fun and profit, we set about justifying that other mainstay of fake news: spurious correlations. You know when the graph they flash up looks so clear, so neat and obviously true that you can't possibly question it? And sometimes that graph is showing you how the local divorce rate is inextricably linked to margarine consumption? You might wonder how that's possible, what the people who make the numbers dance might be trying to tell you, whether it all means anything at the end of the day. Be confused no longer, dear listeners. We have the answers right here, and we're eager to share.
