    How and Why did Sexual Reproduction Evolve on our Planet? With Dr Lixing Sun
    Apr 2 2026
    Before sex evolved on our planet, two billion years ago, all reproduction happened asexually. So why and how did sexual reproduction evolve? Dr Lixing Sun is Distinguished Research Professor in behavior and evolution at Central Washington University. In a new book, On the Origin of Sex, he explores the fascinating, varied and complex ways reproduction happens across the natural world: from whiptail lizards, capable of immaculate conception, to clownfish and bearded dragons who regularly switch gender roles. In this episode he sat down with Dr Güneş Taylor to explore the biological advantages of sexual reproduction, the differences between sex and gender and the variety of ways in which our planet is populated. On The Origin of Sex: The Weird and Wonderful Science of Reproduction by Dr Lixing Sun, is available now online and in stores.

  • Hungry for Life! An Evening with Prue Leith (Part Two)

    Hungry for Life! An Evening with Prue Leith (Part Two)
    Mar 31 2026
    According to Great British Bake Off judge and national treasure Prue Leith the secret to a happy life lies in embracing everyday with joy while accepting our inevitable end. Prue has had an exhilarating career. She has been a Michelin-starred restaurateur, author, broadcaster, and beloved Bake Off judge. Yet her passion for life has also been shaped by the loss of her brother and first husband. These experiences inspired her to become a leading campaigner for assisted dying in the UK. In February 2026 Prue joined Intelligence Squared live at the Royal Geographical Society to reflect on her remarkable life and share insights from her new memoir Being Old … and Learning to Love It! Expect reflections on love, ageing, joy, and grief — from strutting the catwalk and finding love again in her seventies, to facing life’s hardest goodbyes with humour and grace.

I have to stop disgusted after forcing myself to listen for 5 minutes, wanting the wasted 5-minute back. The story is informative in the sense of telling what a destructive concept the "influence economy" represents n general. I'll never listen to anything remotely related to this subject again! Hence 2 stars for the story and 1 (or 0) star for overall value.
