    Book Burning Bonanza
    Dec 13 2021
    Earlier this week, someone asked me if I would help get the word out about a book they thought should be banned from our public school libraries. “Pornographic,” I believe was the accusation. I didn’t endorse the message, but it did leave me wondering: what makes a book bannable? And what impact do all of these cries for censoring books actually have?

    Battle Station: Omicron

    If you happened to have listened to the episode last week, I was talking about when to take our masks off. You may remember me saying something like “these assumptions may change” or “take them off after your entire household is vaccinated.”

    Well...assumptions changed. Let's go visit Battle Station: Omicron.

    When Can We Take Off Our Masks?
    Nov 22 2021
    After a year and a half of shutdowns, quarantines, and other public drama, we're still waiting for a collective answer to the question that affects us the most in our daily lives: When can I take off this mask?

    Bad Data doesn't have a definitive answer for you on that one, but can provide at least one person's assumptions and position on when. Support the show
