Description

Can we cure loneliness with diluted extracts of the Berlin Wall? Or COVID with diluted arsenic? This is the story of how a maverick medic from eastern Germany harnessed the placebo effect and exported it worldwide. A journey across two centuries and three continents, from doctors’ surgeries to supermarket shelves and right into government.

Very informative episode! It's a subject I had never understood and probably wouldn't have researched. Your explanations were clear and insightful, and the dose of humour peppered in was just delightful as usual!
