Hi there!

This week I’m taking a look at the recent controversy surrounding Ārepa - the brain drink product that’s been pulled up by the Ministry of Primary Industries for making unsubstantiated claims about the health benefits of its product.

I’ve also been blessed with contributions from a couple of former NZ Skeptics committee members - Barry Lennox takes a look at the claims made by a woo-woo product for EMF protection, and Paul Aston gives us a review of a book about cryptocurrency from an actual knowledgeable actor!

Of course, the conference is now only three weeks away. We’re excited at how it’s turning out, and the ticket sales are looking good. We’ve also made a few tweaks to the schedule to pack more content in, so check on the website for more information. If you’re intending on coming but still haven’t bought your tickets, now’s the time to do so, as we need to be getting final numbers to the caterers and dinner people. Find out all about it on the conference website.
