The Yeah… Nah! Podcast is coming in hot with another fortnightly installment of skeptical news from New Zealand and beyond. The team keeps it biblical by taking in the ongoing aftermath of David Farrier’s expose of Arise, while dissecting fears around Mātauranga Māori being a slippery slope towards the teaching of creationism in science (when our current religious instruction programme is already doing the job). We discuss some correspondence we received from fans and detractors alike, and in this, the sacred month of Autism Acceptance, the gang despair that some homeopaths in NZ still offer CEASE (Complete Elimination of Autism Spectrum Expression) therapy.
- Articles we talk about:
- UK Autism Charity exposed and homeopathic treatment still being advertised in NZ
- Reflections on Mātauranga Māori
- Arise Church
