For nearly half a century people around the world have believed the moon landing was faked. If that were true, how could people possibly perpetrate such a massive hoax? Join Ben, Matt and Noel as they interview Matt Johnson about his film Operation Avalanche.
Last year, frustrations over COVID-related school closures slammed into the nation’s culture war and tipped an election. It all started in Virginia’s Loudoun County, whose schools became a lightning rod as they grappled with mask mandates, a bathroom policy for transgender students and efforts to fix systemic racial discrimination.
Today, we discuss how conservative parents in Virginia began a powerful nationwide movement and how Democrats are trying to win this important voting bloc back. We also explore how parents in Loudoun County really feel. Read the full transcript here.

Law enforcement threatened after Trump raid. Salman Rushdie on the mend. A Pennsylvania town's triple tragedy. CBS News Correspondent Steve Kathan has today's World News Roundup.
Rights for women and girls have regressed by decades; the economy is cratering. Yet, for many rural Afghans, things are actually better than they were before America scarpered. Silicon Valley types once righteously spurned the military-industrial establishment—now they’re queuing up to fund defence startups. And the surprising truth about the most famous scene in “Bambi”, which is turning 80.
This week the boys are joined by Kenny DeForest (@kennydeforest, Late Night with Seth Meyers, Late Late Show) to talk about the gruff yet poetic songs of Tyler Childers. Specifically, we focus on "All Your'n," one of his catchiest tunes (and with a very psychedelic video). We also talk Childers' incredible ability to capture struggle, debauchery, and love through his poetic lyrics, and how he made a protest album with almost no words sung.

Imagine waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread. Doesn’t it make your mouth water? Now imagine the smell of a fish market on a warm day… still feeling hungry? CrowdScience listener Thanh from Vietnam is intrigued by the effects of smell on our appetite, and wants to know whether certain aromas can make us feel more full than others. Never averse to a food-based challenge, presenter Anand Jagatia takes us on a journey from the nose to the brain, where we find out what exactly happens when we get a whiff of various foods. He discovers how the digestive system prepares for a meal and the extent to which our stomach has a say in whether or not we want to eat, based on how appetizing the smells are around us. Anand also explores our cultural differences. In some parts of the world a stinky Limburger cheese is considered a delicacy, while in other places it could make people lose their lunch. We’ll find out why some of us get triggered in different ways than others.
Tech stocks are down, so Venture Capitalists are jumping into your underwear. Charter Communications is a case study in Cable TV’s strategy: For every Grandkid lost to cord-cutting, squeeze more from Grandma. And Rivian’s electric trucks lost nearly $2B in just 3 months, but its real problem is a certain mineral in Indonesia.
