We dig into Australia’s “Cooker Wars,” why online hype didn’t translate into real marches, and how grifters turn fear into sales. Along the way we unpack media tactics, harmful pseudoscience, and what you can actually do about microplastics without falling for scams.

• who the “cookers” are and why their marches flopped

• how online engagement misleads organisers and followers

• splinter groups, date confusion and poor logistics

• the grift model from vaccine myths to EMF gadgets

• selective-edit media tactics and why anecdotes seduce

• racism and anti‑immigration pivots framed as “vetting”

• real risks of microplastics and practical mitigation

• why detox claims and black salve are dangerous

• questions to test claims, sources and motives

Thank you so much for tuning in. And as always, stay safe, stay well
