  • Could insects replace meat?

    Could insects replace meat?
    Sep 13 2026
    Although it is quite usual to find insects in markets in both Africa and Asia it is rather more unusual for people in the West to eat them. However, with increased awareness of animal welfare and environmental concerns around eating meat people are beginning to think more seriously about insects as food rather than something to be swatted. The problem is that a lot of people find eating bugs pretty off putting, but now scientists have discovered that mealworms, traditionally used as pet food or as bait for fishing, have a rather meat-like flavour when cooked with sugar and could maybe offer new hope to the insects-as-food debate. What are the benefits of eating insects? What are the disadvantages of eating meat? So will we be seeing insects in supermarkets soon? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

  • Do I have poor blood circulation?

    Do I have poor blood circulation?
    Sep 7 2026
    If you’ve got heavy legs, nighttime cramps, varicose veins or swelling in the legs, you may have blood flow issues. When you consider that our bodies contain an incredible 60,000 miles worth of blood vessels, it’s really not uncommon. Something like a varicose vein is usually relatively harmless. Other conditions include hemorrhoids, and phlebitis, which is a blood clot in a deep vein. Worse still are varicose ulcers, which are a complication of varicose veins or phlebitis. It’s important to know the cause behind any blood circulation issues and get treatment to avoid complications. How does the circulatory system work? Are there specific factors that would make me more likely to have poor blood circulation? Why do I feel like the symptoms are always worse in the summer? ⁠⁠⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !⁠⁠⁠ To listen to the latest episodes, click here: ⁠⁠⁠Will the British museum finally give back the Parthenon marbles?⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠What did the Jane Collective do for US women’s rights?⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠What is tagskryt, the Scandinavian sustainable travel trend?⁠⁠⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.

  • Why is the celibacy movement attracting young people?

    Why is the celibacy movement attracting young people?
    Sep 13 2026
    Young people have much less of an appetite for sex these days, it seems. The phenomenon has been labelled a “sex recession” in the media and terms like “puriteens” have emerged to describe sex-shy youngsters. Studies have backed up the idea of a sex recession too. One published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior journal in November 2021 found that the proportion of adolescents reporting no sexual activity is on the rise. What factors explain the celibacy trend? Sex positivity seemed to be all the rage these days, what happened to that? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • How can I reduce damp and mould in your home?

    How can I reduce damp and mould in your home?
    Sep 7 2026
    According to Dr Yasemin Didem Aktas, deputy academic director of the UK Centre for Moisture in Buildings (UKCMB), “Mould is everywhere, all the time,” this is because the UK is a pretty wet country and so some level of mould, particularly in damp places like bathrooms or windows is to be expected. However it is how we manage the mould and prevent it building up into dangerous levels that is important. If you notice patches of mould on walls or ceilings then it's time to do something to stop spores spreading in the air. When is there too much? Why is mould bad for your health? How can I treat mould? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    Could using lube help you get more pleasure from sex?
    Sep 12 2026
    Whether it’s out of necessity or for enjoyment, lubricant helps a lot of people in their sex lives. According to The Cleveland Clinic: “Around 17% of people assigned female at birth (AFAB) age 18 to 50 report problems with vaginal dryness during sex, even before menopause takes place.” And that figure increases to 50% after menopause. There are a number of factors that can contribute to insufficient lubrication. These include certain hormonal contraceptives, medications, conditions like diabetes, or pregnancy and breastfeeding. What’s the actual purpose of lubricant? Do lubricants actually enhance sexual pleasure though? How would I go about choosing the right one? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
