This week we’re celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Sokal Affair by talking about academic hoaxes. What are they? What qualifies as a hoax? Will the Leather Archives be our next guest on the podcast? Find out! All hail the snake science. 

The “grievance studies” hoax does not reveal what its authors think.
