Description

Good in Theory is a podcast about brilliant scientific theories—that just happened not to be true. Join Rita and Sofie as they dive headfirst into disproven theories across biology, chemistry, physics, and medicine. They'll unpack what made the ideas so compelling, where they spectacularly failed, and how they still managed to leave a fascinating mark on science and culture. Have a listen if you want to learn about wacky, wrong, and weirdly impactful science history alongside two enthusiastic guides!
