S2 Episode 3: Risky science
In this third episode, we look at the role of international institutions when it comes to litigation.

S2 Episode 2: When global health gets a baton
In this season of the Fun Police podcast, we are looking at the role of international institutions in the propagation of misinformation and how prohibitionists are using them to further their goals. In this episode: the dirty on the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control and its Conference of the Parties (COP), the World Health Organization's treaty organ that continues to deny the science on harm reduction and the usefulness of nicotine alternatives in getting people to quit smoking. We uncover the NGOs and partner groups of the FCTC that muddy the conference and aim to disparage anyone who dares ask a question or introduce some nuance. Featuring an interview with investigative journalist and congressional candidate Drew Johnson (@DrewForNevada), who has some experience in getting kicked out of multiple FCTC conferences over the years and has decided to run for Congress to push for government transparency and accountability. Act 1: Experts Act 2: The illusion of consensus Act 3: False prophets Released on February 7, 2024.
