Descripción

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at Google's plan to release 32 million mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia bacteria across Florida and California as part of an effort to combat mosquito-borne diseases. Then we discussed why spending time outdoors can be such a powerful experience and explored the growing body of evidence suggesting that nature plays an important role in our mental and physical well-being. Today’s unpopular opinion was: "Everything happens for a reason" is nonsense. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: name something you have no control over.

How Many Farts Are Normal? The Science of Sleep & Birthday Pressure

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at a question that has probably crossed everyone's mind at some point: how many farts a day is actually normal? Scientists have finally crunched the numbers. Then we explored new research suggesting that it may be possible to gain some of the benefits of sleep without actually falling asleep.

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at why more businesses are introducing "Quiet Hours" and what this growing trend says about modern life. Then we discussed the challenges facing job seekers over 45, including concerns that AI-driven hiring tools may be unfairly filtering out older candidates.

Grey Gamers, The "Woke" Debate, and the Things Politicians Lie About

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at the growing yet often overlooked market of older gamers and asked why so few companies are creating games specifically for retirees. Today’s unpopular opinion was: the word "woke" is a meaningless political dog whistle and has become more of a political label than a useful description. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 people: "Name something politicians lie about." The ProBoh Show is a variety show in English, hosted by Rob Grams.

Paranormal Psychology, Climate Change in Iceland, and Who Deserves a Platform?

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at whether some people are more likely than others to experience ghosts, as a psychologist explained the three factors that make paranormal experiences more likely. Then we discussed the arrival of mosquitoes in Iceland for the first time, and why zoologists are paying close attention to what this small change could mean for local ecosystems. Today’s unpopular opinion was: not everyone "needs a voice" or "deserves to be heard." In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: name somewhere you'll encounter a stupid opinion.
