Today my guest is Pranav Radhakrishnan. Pranav is a terrific science communicator and the man behind the popular RU-vid channel Science is Dope, where he talks about pseudoscience and analyzes some popular conspiracy theorists. Pranav is an engineering graduate from the National Institute of Technology Calicut. I found out that he also grew up in Kozhikode, the city where I did a lot of my schooling. I talk to Pranav about atheism, debunking pseudoscience, alternative medicine, and of course Sadhguru
