This Podcast Will Kill You Presents Science Storytelling

Wednesday, August 19, 2026 7 PM

This Podcast Will Kill You is coming to The Nat! Podcast hosts Erin Welsh and Erin Allmann Updyke (aka The Erins) are on a mission to combat the rampant internet misinformation pandemic through science communication.

The Erins take the topics we search every day—food dyes, mysterious viruses, why our bodies do weird things—and break them down in a way that’s casual, fun, and informative. In their Nat Talk, they’ll share their best tips on how we can all become effective storytellers, create meaningful connections through facts, and stop misinformation in its tracks. This Nat Talk won’t actually kill you, but it might change how you talk about science forever.
