Pontus is back and Brian steps in for András, as we discuss myths and disinformation. In TWISH we hear about three common myths regarding the sinking of Titanic, and then we get into the news:

• UK: Non-religion is the new normal: six in ten under-35s have no religion, new analysis finds
• INTERNATIONAL: ‘Stand with Science’ – World Health Day: People live longer today than ever before, even after cancer: here are the latest WHO data.
• UK: Eat tapeworm eggs, lose weight: The terrifying Victorian practice whose myth refuses to die

The Really Wrong Award goes to the Finnish MP and former Minister of the Interior Päivi Räsänen, who was convicted of hate speech against gay people.

Enjoy!
