At the dawn of the social media era, Belle Gibson became a pioneering wellness influencer - telling the world how she beat cancer with an alternative diet. Her bestselling cookbook and online app provided her success, respect, and a connection to the cancer-battling influencer she admired the most. But a curious journalist with a sick wife began asking questions that even those closest to Belle began to wonder. Was the online star faking her cancer and fooling the world? Kaitlyn Dever stars in the Netflix hit series Apple Cider Vinegar . Inspired by true events, the dramatized story follows Belle’s journey from self-styled wellness thought leader to disgraced con artist. It also explores themes of hope and acceptance - and how far we’ll go to maintain it. In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews executive producer Samantha Strauss. SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched Apple Cider Vinegar yet, make sure to add it to your watch-list before listening on. Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts .…

You have found Remedial Polymath. So let’s explain this show… In case you weren’t yet aware, a polymath is someone who is well versed in many areas of study. Remedial of course means you’re not so great in a field of study. The resulting quasi-corny play-on-words of a title means that this podcast will be an informal approach to wide learning with the aim of making you rethink your world just a little bit. Because when one digs a bit deeper, and a bit differently, into what they thought they know or don’t know - they often find their knowledge is just a practice in mental regurgitation. There is a substantial difference between thinking, believing in, or knowing something. Beliefs should be rare, and claiming knowledge of something even rarer. And we have to realize that feeling we believe in, or “know” something, not only leads to a lot of avoidable trouble in the human experience but when too liberally applied to one’s life can stifle the ability to question, to change, and to wonder. It has often been correctly said that, “the more you learn the less you know.” At Remedial Polymath we’d like to add, “the less you know the wiser you are.” So, let’s try to get wiser, at an average and fun pace. At least that’s the idea for now. Thing could most definitely change along the way... Welcome to Remedial Polymath.
