    How can I wake up refreshed every morning?
    Aug 24 2026
    Some people believe they simply can’t function in the morning until they’ve had a cup of coffee. Others seem to be grumpy every morning, as if they’ve got out of the wrong side of the bed. Of course, a poor night’s sleep can be the cause, whether it be down to stress, not getting to bed early enough, drinking or other physical conditions like sleep apnea. Psychological factors can also come into play, like a lack of motivation in your job or relationship issues. But sleep quality and mental health aren’t the only factors. A lot of us wake up and get up in a pretty suboptimal way. What’s the best way to wake up then? What about having a lie-in to get extra sleep? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

  • Why do we drive on the left hand side of the road?

    Why do we drive on the left hand side of the road?
    Aug 24 2026
    According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, there are as many as 430 deaths per year due to wrong-way crashes in the United States alone. That might be hard to believe as for most of us driving on the “right” side of the road is as automatic as brushing your teeth. But there is of a course a divide between countries that drive on the left and those that drive on the right. In ancient times, driving was not really regulated, but it was nevertheless the norm to drive on the left. And it’s down in no small part to the fact that the majority of people are right-handed. In ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt, soldiers and cavalry men carried their swords and shields on the left to draw more easily with their right hands when needed. How far back does the tradition of driving on the left go? When did that change in other parts of the world? What about in other countries? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    Could you be micro-flirting without realising it?
    Aug 24 2026
    There are plenty of ways to get the attention of someone you're crushing on. It might come very naturally to some, but for others, flirting can be an intimidating proposition. Have you ever wondered if someone is flirting with you, because of their somewhat ambiguous approach? Well, they may have been micro-flirting, a technique that dating experts say is used by shy men in particular. And there are actually some pretty recognisable under-the-radar strategies that qualify as micro-flirting, which is what we’re going to shed light on today. How exactly does one micro-flirt then? Why do shy people tend to veer towards a micro-flirting approach then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • What is squirting?

    What is squirting?
    Aug 23 2026
    What is squirting? Thanks for asking! OK, so from their teenage years onwards most men get used to fluid shooting out of their genitals on a regular basis. But female ejaculation is a thing too, and it’s known colloquially as squirting. Most often, it’s when a woman expels fluid from the vulva either before or during an orgasm. It’s generally seen as a pleasurable sensation, even when it doesn’t happen at the same time as a climax. The terms squirting and female ejaculation are commonly used interchangeably, but some researchers have suggested they are two distinct phenomena. So squirting actually exists outside the world of porn? What is this mysterious fluid that comes out then? What are the secrets to making a woman squirt? ⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!⁠ To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: ⁠What are Fan Tokens?⁠ ⁠What is terraforming?⁠ ⁠What is a deepfake?⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.

  • What are blue zones?

    What are blue zones?
    Aug 23 2026
    What are blue zones? Humans have wondered about the secrets behind longevity since the beginning of time. Well, as it turns out, the world’s five blue zones offer some revealing insight into this mystery. In these regions, people seem to live longer than in the rest of the world. Researchers have sought to understand the unique lifestyles that may be behind this phenomenon. Let’s go back to the year 2000. Studying the province of Nuoro in Sardinia, Italian professor Gianni Pes and Belgian demographer Michel Poulain discovered to their great surprise that certain villages were home to a high number of people in their 90s or even over a hundred years old. The researchers marked these locations with blue circles which is how the non-scientific blue zone label was coined. Where are the other four blue zones then? So what are the secrets behind these people’s long lifespans? Diet and exercise have something to do with it too? ⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!⁠ To listen to the last episodes, you can click here : ⁠Is running actually bad for our joints and bones?⁠ ⁠Is drinking decaf bad for my health?⁠ ⁠What is the dangerous Blackout challenge on Tiktok?⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.

  • What is Godwin’s Law?

    What is Godwin’s Law?
    Aug 23 2026
    What is Godwin’s Law? Thanks for asking! The events of the Holocaust are part of the compulsory curriculum in many countries across the world, especially in Europe. Indeed, it’s pretty rare to come across any adult who hasn’t heard of the unique horrors that took place. Most people would agree that comparing recent Covid-19 restrictions and vaccination campaigns to Nazi atrocities is at best extreme and misguided; at worst disrespectful and downright offensive. But that’s exactly what some politicians and members of the public have done during recent protests. This is an example of an adage known as Godwin’s Law, which originated on an internet forum in 1990. It reads as follows: “As an online discussion continues, the probability of a comparison to Hitler or to Nazis approaches one.” What does that even mean? Who are these people comparing Covid-19 rules to the Holocaust? Is Godwin’s Law still relevant in the 21st century? ⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!⁠ To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: ⁠What are the Puppy Blues?⁠ ⁠What are blue zones?⁠ ⁠What is Niksen?⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.

  • What is Maslow’s hierarchy of needs?

    What is Maslow’s hierarchy of needs?
    Aug 22 2026
    What is Maslow’s hierarchy of needs? Thanks for asking! During the Covid-19 pandemic, governments around the world have taken it on themselves to judge what’s essential or not for their citizens. Think of non-essential shops, businesses, products and leisure activities, for example. Restrictions based on these judgements have evolved constantly during various stages of lockdown or closures. At an individual level, the Covid era has forced us all to think more deeply about what is truly essential to get by day to day; things we may have taken for granted before. Small comforts or luxuries have had to be sacrificed in many cases. Back in the 1940s, American psychologist Abraham Maslow came up with a paper entitled “A Theory of Human Motivation”, in which he suggested a hierarchy for human needs. It’s commonly represented as a five-level pyramid, with physiological needs at the base, being the biological component for survival. Working up from there, you’ve got safety needs, love and belonging needs and then esteem needs. At the top of the pyramid is self-actualisation, which means a person reaching their full potential. How does the theory relate to human behaviour? What do those critics argue? And in what ways has Covid been an equaliser? ⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!⁠ To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: ⁠What is the Covid vaccine pill?⁠ ⁠What is the black fungus epidemic?⁠ ⁠What is geophony? ⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.
