As important, they explain the science behind many complicated phenomena and rarely miss an opportunity blow things up real good.
Savage talks about the genesis and success of the show, now in its eighth season, and discusses whether people are becoming more or less skeptical in an increasingly interconnected world. Does the faster flow of information mean the bad crowds out the good?
