In this episode of the Fourth Seat podcast, we build on a theme that we previously discussed on our 'Goli No.1' episode, the prevalence of myths and superstitions in Indian society. What makes Godmen, Babas and evangelists click? Why is 'proven by science' the go-to marketing tool for these Godmen and practitioners of pseudoscience (Nityananda, Zakir Naik, Sebastian Martin and co) ? How does one differentiate actual science from pseudoscience? Who is Computer Baba? Also, our award for the incredible contribution to the field of pseudo-science! All this and more on this episode of the Fourth Seat podcast.

Also, if you believe that the theory of evolution suggests that some monkeys turn into human beings after their 10th birthday, this podcast is definitely for you!
