On episode 305 we discuss “illness influencer” Belle Gibson and the TV series Apple Cider Vinegar (Netflix). We also cover broader themes of “conspirituality” (drawing on Naomi Klein’s book Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World), evidence-based versus non-evidence-based medicine, influencers and grifters.  Additional links/sources covered:  The Search for Instagram’s Worst Con Artist (documentary on Netflix).  Maintenance Phase podcast episode “Illness Influencer” Belle Gibson (we took that illness influencer phrase above from this!): <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/episode/4xZ11pQv8tKZbJaI5w2S1D?si=HeEsESSIRG-lMdOfQhb3Kw&context=spotify%3Aplaylist%3A37i9dQZF1FgnTBfUlzkeKt&nd=1&dlsi=c758a80e0eb04798"> https://open.spotify.com/episode/4xZ11pQv8tKZbJaI5w2S1D?si=HeEsESSIRG-lMdOfQhb3Kw&context=spotify%3Aplaylist%3A37i9dQZF1FgnTBfUlzkeKt&nd=1&dlsi=c758a80e0eb04798</a>  You can hear the two of us discuss similar issues (but make different points) on the Freedom of Species show Vegans For Trump?
